If you feel at present that you don't have enough friends in your life, one reason may be that you have let yourself become too busy to spare the time for the relationships you already have.Starting and keeping friendships requires effort and commitment.
Our lives let many of us become so busy with work and other things that we don't get around to scheduling time for pleasure and talking with our friends, relatives and acquaintances we already have.
Making an effort to call your friends more regularly and accept more of the invitations you receive from others can improve your social life quickly!
Are there any people you could call right now and are assured of a pleasant welcome? Are there people that you could count on to help you in the time of difficulty? Can you have close talks with them? Do you have fun when you are together? Are you happy to have them in your life?
If you haven't seen most of them lately, is it because you have become too busy? Have you lived apart? Was there an argument?
If the main reason that you haven't been getting together with the people you already know is that you have gotten too busy, take a good look at how you spend your time.Compare it with your real values and priorities in life.Is your busy lifestyle really bringing you the quality of life that you want?
If you have become too busy to have time for friends, why does this happen? Are you seeking material joys in your life at the expense of relationships with other human beings? Have you allowed your time to be overcommitted because you never say “No” to anyone? Do you insist on doing things by yourself that could be delegated to others? If so, why? Do you believe that everything depends on you?
Examine whether the way you are now spending your time accurately reflects your deepest values and priorities.Make sure that you schedule adequate time for the things that are truly most important to you.
If you really want to keep friends in your life, make space in your schedule and in your heart for them.
