Everyone is busy around the holidays, but did you know that when you spend your time helping others, you feel like you have more free time? On top of that, people who volunteer tend to be happier than those who don’t!
You always think that when things get better, you’ll be happier again. But by practicing gratitude you’ll train yourself to see the good in your life regardless of the situation, which can have physical and mental health benefits.
While warm weather, longer days, and more vacation time can make some people feel euphoric and free, it can make others feel agitated, guilty, tired, and jealous.

There are still lots of ways to make new connections before the weather turns cold and we all want to stay bundled inside our apartments with a few choice people.
The cold wind sends shivers up your spine and puts a heaviness in your heart that wasn’t there before.
