6. Be Generous | Generosity and gratitude give us joy. Getting out of my head and into the world helps me be less self-focused and puts my life in perspective. People are in need (financially, emotionally, practically) all around us.

I remind myself I won’t feel this way forever; as I tell my kids, “Feelings come and go.”
