• Try a new hobby that connects you with other people, or one that allows you to spend time learning and growing on your own.

• Practice self-care by resting your body, mind, or both. Read a favorite book, bundle up and take a walk, get a massage -- whatever makes you feel great. • Cultivate a practice of gratitude, either by journaling when you can or by talking with others about thankfulness.
