Organize your life. Use schedules and to-do lists. When you know what you have to do and when, things are less likely to sneak up on you.
Create. Find an activity to express your imagination and talents. Take photographs, paint, knit, or do other hobbies.
Take breaks from being connected. Put down the smartphone and make a date with yourself. Go for a walk. Read a book. Meditate.
Open your mind to new possibilities.
Is there something you’d like to change but
haven’t? Do something about it — whether it’s
mending a relationship or breaking
a bad habit.
Balance
. Check in with yourself regularly
(say, once a month) to make sure 1 area of
your life isn’t occupying too much time or
energy at the expense of other areas.
Engage with others
. Not everyone is an extrovert, but have a few close relationships with others.
Rest. Don’t cheat yourself out of the benefits that
come from getting 7 to 9 hours of sleep every day.
