I’ve got into quite good habits about this in the last couple of months. I started off by doing a 30-day trial (inspired by Steve Pavlina – his website is great)so I was contacting a friend every day for a month. And I’ve kept doing it pretty much every day cos it makes me feel more connected.

Unfortunately, none of my closest friends are in the same city as me so I’m still feeling a bit isolated. I’ve got one old friend in London, though, and I owe her a call so I’ll make a note to do that.
