Make Time For Your Friends!
Updated: Jun 7

Hey Team!
This week, we're going to be talking on
making time for your friends.
It's normal for all of us
to get carried away with life and occupied
with all those boring things.
But it's super important
that we reach out to our friends
and make some special time for them, too.
This week, we're encouraging you
to make the first move.
Text your friend or let them know
that you want to see them.
And if they live
internationally or interstate,
then you can set up a face time
with them as well.
Friendships are super important
and that's one of the reasons
why we created the Team Tanda app.
So if you're feeling like
you don't have many friends, definitely
use the app as a way
to make new connections with people.
Relationships and friendships are 50/50.
It takes two to tango.
Maybe your friend
reached out to you last time
and it's your turn to reach out this time.
And even if they haven't reached out,
reach out to them again. That's right.
We all get caught up with life.
Yes. Actually, speaking of that,
my best friends haven't replied
to my message yet,
so I'm going to reach out to them again.
Yes, I'm going to send a double text,
but they're my friends.
There's nothing wrong with a double text
to your friends.
Isn't friendships
are super important, as we all know.
I mean, my friendships really came
to the forefront of my life when
I went through some really difficult times
and having some good friends.
To be there as a soundboard to comfort me
during those times helped me get through
all of those struggles in my life.
But friends shouldn't
just be there when you're struggling.
We need to make sure that we're nurturing
those relationships,
even in the good times,
because we also want to create good times
with those people, too.
That's it for this week.
Go and reach out to a friend.
Pretty simple. Put it in the chat.
What you're going to do with them?
Are you going to go for lunch?
Are you going to have a movie night?
Let us know. So on
the topic of friendships,
we're going to go
have some dinner with friends.
And we hope you guys have
a fantastic week ahead, bye!
This reminder is pretty simple! This week we’re encouraging you to go out of you way to make time for your friends.
It’s very easy for us all to get caught up in our own lives, and fair enough! But as a consequence of this sometimes the relationships and friendships in our lives can be forgotten. Friendships are like flowers, they need to be nurtured and watered. Some more than others, but you get the point.
So, how are you going to make time for your friends? Sometimes it can feel like so much effort, but here are some suggestions that enable you to catch up and show love without having to overwhelm yourself with options.
Set up a FaceTime call: you can even set a time limit and boundary if you don’t want to be on the call for an excessive amount of time. “Hey X! I’ve missed you! Are you free today for a half an hour FaceTime?” It doesn’t have to be an aggressive set boundary. Keep it nice! And Subtle! Whatever you need.
Organise an online game together: is there something that you both like to play? Are there any new games that you love that your friend would want to play with you? Suggest it!
A walk/run: If you and your friend have the privilege of living close by each other, why don’t you suggest a morning or lunchtime walk/run by a park. You can grab a coffee or a juice!
Watch a movie together: This can be both online or in person, whatever suits you. You can set up watch party and watch your favourite movie together.
Catching up with friends doesn’t and shouldn’t need to feel like a big daunting task (It’s okay if you feel like this because you have a lot going on). It is important that we remember to reach out, and make time for those who are important in our lives.
Have a great week team!
Let us know in the comments what fun or chill activities you set up with your friends this week.
