Social Strategies to Boost Your Brain
3.Get to Know Your Neighbors
Your best social network might be just around the corner or right next door. Getting to know your neighbors, whether a local shopkeeper or nearby residents, is a great way to create meaningful connections close to home. An evening stroll is one way to do this. You might start a conversation by complimenting a neighbor on their house’s curb appeal or asking about a type of plant. If you’re an apartment dweller, make friends with your local grocer. Pick up a weekend paper instead of getting it delivered. It will not only give you an excuse to get out of the house, but to connect with others.
