We spend so much of our time indoors, in the car and on the couch, it’s a wonder we look at our surroundings at all. So to give yourself a boost, a great solution is to submerge yourself in the great outdoors.
If you want to be a kind friend to yourself, you can be your own companion. Take yourself to dinner, a movie, a theater performance or a show.
Don’t have time to adopt your own furry critter or can’t have them in your place? You can still give your serotonin levels a boost by carving out some time to volunteer at a local shelter.
You can’t recharge you if you are forever sucked into a glowing screen. Constantly looking at tech can be bad for both your mental and physical health.
In order to have piece of mind, one needs to find their tribe. That means finding a real community. Whether this means branching out by going to Meetups, volunteering, finding a crafting buddy to get artsy with or taking classes to get your education on.
Take time out for a comedy movie marathon or take in a night of improv. Even reminiscing with friends about the silly things you did when you were young and foolish (only just last year!) can help relieve stress and reset your brain chemicals.
