True Friendship: When Hearts Connect, All Barriers Disappear 💝

A Special Friendship Day Feature - The Solution Points

Hello my dear friends! 🤗

I'm Nutritionist Shivani, and today on this joyful occasion of Friendship Day, I want to share something close to my heart with you - from our The Solution Points - Victory Over The Challenges family.

My Story, Our Story 💕

Over the past several years, in my journey as a nutritionist - where both my husband and I live with disabilities and together with our beloved child serve The Solution Points - I've discovered that the people who see us simply as human beings become our truest friends.

These are the friends who:

• Celebrate our successes and stand by us during challenges

• Neither feel awkward talking to us nor show excessive sympathy

• Laugh with us, joke around, and enjoy life together

• Most importantly - they learn from us and teach us too!

What is True Inclusive Friendship? 🌟

Based on everything I've experienced, I can say that:

True friends are those who:

• Recognize your abilities, don't focus on limitations

• Become partners in your dreams, don't see you as weak

• Want to learn from your experiences, not just help you

• Treat you "normally" - because you are just as normal!

Common Misconceptions and Their Reality 🤔

Misconception: "How do you befriend people with disabilities?"

Reality: Just like you would with any human being! We also watch Netflix, drink tea and coffee, and gossip! 😄

Misconception: "They only need help"

Reality: We have so much to offer too - experience, skills, love, and laughter!

Misconception: "These friendships would be one-sided"

Reality: Many of our friends say they've learned more from us than anywhere else!

The Magical Effects of Friendship on Health ✨

Being a nutritionist, I know that good friendship is the best medicine:

For Mental Health:

• Reduces stress (and stress causes weight gain!)

• Increases happy hormones

• Banishes loneliness - which is the biggest disease

For Physical Health:

• Provides motivation to stay active

• Makes healthy cooking together enjoyable

• Improves sleep when the mind is happy

Joyful Stories from Our The Solution Points Family 🎉

Priya uses a wheelchair, Amit used to be nervous initially. Today? They're gym partners! Amit says, "Seeing Priya's determination, I can't stay lazy!"

Ravi can't see, but his sense of smell and taste is amazing! Now his sighted friends learn from him not to rely only on eyes while cooking.
