Getting in touch with a ‘higher force.’ Connecting with something bigger and higher puts things in perspective. It doesn’t have to be about meditating for hours or even believing in a god. It can be done by being one with nature or just being grateful.

Reaching out to others. An old adage says that no man is an island. People need people. Whether they are close relatives or long lost friends, people are a reminder of the realities in life.
