When It All Falls Apart, Go Back to Basics

We all have behaviors that can keep us sane and happy. They are the rituals and activities that make you feel like you. Maybe it’s time spent on a mountain bike, in the garden, on a basketball court, in a museum, taking a weekend trip, attending an art or yoga class, bowling with friends, horseback riding, kayaking, building models, attending a film festival, going to a comedy club, being with friends and family, and so on.

Figure out what you need every day, every week, every month, and every year to keep you happy. Then be sure to do those things for yourself. This strategy can be used in the good times as well as the bad.
