Reconnect with yourself

Clear yourself of pent-up anger and resentment
Practice forgiveness of others and yourself frequently. You could speak this verbally to yourself to renounce the hold anger has over you.

Create a daily gratitude inventory
Write down or go over in your head all the things you are grateful for. You will start to feel lighter and more optimistic

Pay compliments
This may initially feel awkward, but think how great it makes you feel when you receive a compliment and return the kindness

Engage in spiritual practices as an individual or group
You don’t have to join an organized religion, but a framework to discuss big questions, ideas, uncertainties, possibilities, and hopes will enlighten and warm your life

Walk in nature alone, with a friend or your new pet

Don’t worry alone
This is critical. Sharing your worries with a trusted person allows problem-solving and even a chance to laugh and release your worries

Minimize news consumption

Watch the world go by
Connect with humanity by sitting in a town square or on a bench at the park.
