2. Have A Self-discovery Vacation (Or Staycation)

When was the last time you took a vacation with the sole purpose of doing absolutely nothing?

Take a day, a weekend, or a few PTO days to disconnect from the world, recharge, and reconnect with yourself.

When in doubt, phone a friend. Besides the fact that connecting with other humans can help boost your mood, improve your quality of life, and even lengthen your lifespan, catching up with someone you love and trust can be an incredibly therapeutic experience, especially when you’re feeling “meh” or like you’re in a bit of a slump. Whether you’re looking for advice, need to vent, or just want to distract yourself, reconnecting with your community can be a powerful tool for sifting out your own thoughts, releasing emotions, & increasing dopamine levels. Lean on your people—they’ve got your back.
