Find purpose and meaning
This is different for everyone, but finding purpose in your day is a big factor to good mental health.
You might try one of the following:

  • Engage in work and play that makes you feel useful
  • Invest in relationships and spend quality time with people who matter to you
  • Volunteer, which can help enrich your life and make you happier  
  • Find ways to care for others, which can be as rewarding and meaningful as it is challenging
  • Think of one good deed or gesture to do each day.
