- Make sleep a priority.
- Try a relaxing activity, like journaling or finding a good book at your library.
- Set goals and priorities.
- Practice gratitude and focus on positivity.

Volunteering is a way to give back to your community, build confidence, find purpose, and increase happiness. The Salvation Army offers numerous ways to get involved, as an individual or as a group.
Connect with someone or an organization that shares your beliefs and thoughts, whether online, over the phone or in person. Reach out to a pastor or spiritual leader and find like-minded people within your faith community who support and encourage you.
