But even so, something essential might be missing: someone with whom we can truly be ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Someone who actually knows our history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Someone with whom we can share joys, as well as doubts, fears, and longing, without needing to explain everything from the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This feeling doesn't necessarily mean a lack of company. Often, it reveals the absence of something even more important: <em>the feeling of belonging<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is social health?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we talk about health, most people immediately think of diet, physical activity, or sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These factors are indeed fundamental, but there is another equally important aspect that still receives little attention: the <em>social health<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Lifestyle Medicine, internationally recognized as an evidence-based approach for the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases, social health is considered one of the pillars of well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is because humans were made to live in connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the way we relate to each other directly influences our mental, emotional, and even physical health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But there's a very common misconception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many people believe that having social health means having a packed calendar of events, dozens of friends, or an extremely active social life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, in reality, that's not what science shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\"

1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Belonging is more important than knowing many people.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because when we talk about social health, quantity doesn't always mean quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But what truly protects our health is the feeling of belonging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since belonging means feeling like we are part of a group, a community, or a relationship where we are accepted as we are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It's knowing that there's someone who knows our story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What celebrates our achievements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who offers support when we need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And which makes us feel seen, understood, and welcomed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because this feeling is especially important for those going through an immigration process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When moving to another country, many of the connections built throughout life are left behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Family, childhood friends, coworkers, neighbors, and an entire support network disappear from your routine practically overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, rebuilding that sense of belonging takes time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that's part of the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does science teach us about social connection?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a long time, it was believed that the larger the social network, the better it would be for health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, today we know that the quality of relationships is much more important than the quantity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Studies suggest that maintaining approximately <em>three to five close relationships<\/em>, based on trust, support, and reciprocity, is already associated with significant benefits for physical and emotional well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This brings a very comforting message to those who live far from their country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don't need to know everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don't need to be present at every event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And you don't need to build a big social network right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes cultivating a few deep relationships can offer much more protection than dozens of superficial connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is this so important for mothers living abroad?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Motherhood, in itself, profoundly transforms our social life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since, after the children, time shrinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Priorities change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Energy too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When this motherhood happens in another country, additional challenges arise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many mothers don't have grandparents nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They don't count on family to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They need to build friendships from scratch in another language, another culture, and often while taking care of young children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It's not difficult to understand why so many immigrant mothers report feelings of loneliness, isolation, and homesickness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But there's an important difference between being alone and feeling like you don't belong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is precisely belonging that helps reduce this feeling of isolation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to start building belonging?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There isn't a ready-made formula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because belonging is born gradually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is built through coexistence, vulnerability, and shared experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe the first step is to accept an invitation for coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Join a mothers' group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Send a message to someone you'd like to keep in touch with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or simply allow someone else to take care of you for a few moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every little connection is a seed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And, with time, these seeds can transform into a true support network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You don't have to go through this journey alone<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If there's one thing I've learned from following Brazilian mothers living abroad, it's that almost all of them share the same need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It's not just about making friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It's finding a place where they can be understood without needing to explain every detail of their own story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A place where they can feel like they belong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was precisely because I believed in the power of these connections that my community was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than a space to talk about health, it was created so that Brazilian mothers living abroad can find support, evidence-based information, and, most importantly, true connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because taking care of your health goes far beyond diet or exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also goes through the bonds we build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And no one should face the challenges of motherhood and immigration without feeling like they belong somewhere.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Voc\u00ea j\u00e1 teve a sensa\u00e7\u00e3o de estar cercada de pessoas, mas, ainda assim, sentir-se profundamente sozinha?
