There is so much good advice in this thread! - Friends and family and community. This is actually more important than all other advice in this thread (I never say that kind of thing, but it's true here). They will be there for you when you can't be there for yourself. The HN community is giving good advice, and a community that knows you personally will give you even better advice. Modernity is hard on friendships and community so it takes some work to get started and maintain. - Exercise. In your 20s, someone who lifts is just bigger. In your 30s and 40s, someone who lifts is actually fitter, and it diverges from there. - Music. I have just started learning piano. "Where has this been all my life?" The skill compounds, and it's a huge help. - Therapy, probably. Whatever issues you have won't just go away, and it's wonderful to have inner freedom. Quality is completely dependent on the relationship with that particular therapist. - Meditation, if you can avoid the mainstream stuff.
