Intrapersonal & Interpersonal Techniques

To increase my friendship circles

As it stands, I have three friends. The rest of the people I relate with are my family. These three friends pursue different courses from me, which means we do not have similar timetables and schedules. Therefore, we are rarely free at the same. I intend to increase my circle of friends to ten with whom we have similar interests and timings. This is in a bid to increase my network since your network defines your net worth. I will increase my number of friends by signing up for more clubs and extra-curricular activities. Also, I will volunteer for clean-up programs and in-school activities such as peer counseling and mentorship programs. I believe that with this devotion, it is possible to increase my group of friends to ten people with whom we share interests.

To spend more time with my grandparents.

My grandparents live alone on the farmland. Given the level of commitment and nature of the jobs of most of our family members, we rarely visit them. We only visit my grandparents during the major holidays, such as Easter and Christmas festivities, basically not more than three times a year. I intend to increase the time spent with them by visiting bi-weekly. Also, during the school holidays, I will sacrifice and spend at least three weeks of the holidays with them. I will dedicate my time to helping them on the farm and creating memories with them. It is vital to make the elderly feel loved, appreciated, and cared for. Since most of the holidays, besides summer and the weekends, I am free, it makes sense to go and bond with them. My elder brother works on the weekend in the same state where my grandparents live, so I will be going down there with him.
