Expanding your social circle is an excellent way to expose yourself to new viewpoints and experiences. Make an effort to introduce yourself to people you meet at work, events, and casual outings. As your relationship develops and deepens, your interactions with new friends may lead to unforgettable moments that make your life more interesting. Our friendships and romantic relationships add value to our lives. Make these relationships a priority: Set aside time to spend with your family and friends each week. If you live in the same city, invite people over for a meal. Schedule a regular girls or guys night out. If your friends and family members live far away, make an effort to call or video-chat them. Have a date night with your significant other at least once a week. Try to plan something different for each date. Supporting others requires that we look beyond our own needs, desires, and problems. It makes us vulnerable to new emotions and fosters the development of deeper relationships. Volunteering to help those around us can expose us to new experiences, which may make life more interesting and meaningful. Volunteer at a local charity or nursing home. Assist your friend in their move. Offer to cook a busy friend dinner. Support a loved one through a crisis. Committing to a long-term challenge is an excellent way to disrupt your daily routine and improve your quality of life. Once you have selected your long-term goal, establish a plan of action by dividing the goal into small, achievable tasks and milestones. Potential long-term challenges include: Finding a new job. Getting into better shape. Reading a collection of books. Completing a degree or program.

summary: Meet new people. Set aside time for fellowship with friends and family. Help others. Set a long-term challenge for yourself.

If you know that the weather will be rainy, choose an area that you can enjoy in the rain, such as a trek through the forest. Consider visibility and safety, since waterways can flood and rocks can become slippery. When in doubt, plan to keep your hiking short and bed down early. Each time you open your pack water drips in. Even if it's only a small amount of water, it can quickly compromise your pack. The water will remain in your waterproofed pack for the entire trek, so don't risk lugging around the unnecessary weight. Store frequently needed items and your snacks in pockets or in dry bags attached to the outside of your pack. If you don't have a waterproof map, then make sure that your map never gets wet. Ideally, it should be secured in a plastic see-through bag. Try not to remove it when it's exposed to rain. Regularly munching on snacks will help you keep your body warmer, which is important when you're getting wet. Rain can cause hypothermia if you get too cool, so plan to eat more often than on a dry hike. The wetness from your socks can rub away your natural skin oils, which is what causes blisters. Applying a light salve to your feet can help prevent this from happening. Carry a salve and smooth it onto your feet when you settle in for the night. When it's raining, some hikers forget to drink their water. Even if you don't feel thirsty, make sure that you're sipping on your water to keep yourself hydrated. Dehydration can quickly become an issue. Rainy weather makes breaks less desirable because it allows your body to cool down, causing you to be cold and uncomfortable. You also have the incentive to keep going until you reach your destination and can get out of the rain. However, not taking breaks can easily tire you out. Stay energized by taking shorter breaks than you normally would but more often. For example, if you would normally take a 15-minute break after hiking for an hour and a half, take a five-minute break every 30 minutes. When you do stop to camp, keep your wet items separate from your dry items. Carrying wet gear into your tent can easily lead to everything being wet. Instead, cover up your gear and leave it outside the tent. When you stop to camp or to take an extended break, take off your shoes so that your feet have a chance to dry out. If you have dry socks, put them on. Otherwise, leave your feet bare. This will help keep your skin healthy and avoid blisters. Rain can lead to hypothermia, even if it's not very cold out. Stay safe by monitoring yourself for signs of hypothermia. If you do notice any, take steps to warm yourself, such as pitching camp and changing your wet clothes for dry ones. Symptoms of mild hypothermia include shivering, slurred speech, tiredness, cool or pale skin, and shallow breathing. Symptoms of moderate hypothermia include confusion, drowsiness, tiredness, shallow breathing, cold or pale skin, ceasing of shivering, and shedding clothes despite being cold.

summary: Choose a good trail. Avoid opening your pack. Make sure that your map stays dry. Snack often. Apply oils to your feet. Stay hydrated. Take short breaks. Avoid placing wet gear in your tent. Give your feet a chance to dry. Watch for the signs of hypothermia.

Video games are only one way that children can entertain themselves. There are a lot of things they can do, especially if they are not allowed to fall back on video games. Encourage your child to pursue other interests, and if they can't think of anything, suggest a few for them. For example, your child can play with other toys, put on plays, make music or movies, read, play outside, engage in something creative like drawing, writing, or crafts, or play board or card games. Don't be afraid to say no to your child when they want to play video games because "there's nothing to do." Make sure you are not relying on video games for babysitting; it is easy to get into the habit without realizing it. Gaming is a solitary activity. You can encourage your child to participate in group activities they will enjoy. Brainstorm together and let them choose activities they will enjoy instead of choosing one for them. You can try youth groups at your religious institution. Local Y Clubs, community arts centers, and libraries also offer youth programs. Look into local arts programs for theater, music, painting, and drawing. You can also look for programs for computers, building, or other hands-on activities. Recreational sports can be fun for some kids, though you should never force children to do sports who do not want to do them. Excessive playing of video games has been linked to conditions like childhood obesity because video games are sedentary activities. To get your child more active, encourage your child to choose a physical activity they enjoy. It's important to let your child choose what they do. Encourage them to try new activities if they don't have any favorites. Your child may enjoy bike riding, skateboarding, dance, martial arts, recreational sports, swimming, and playing games outside.
summary: Encourage your child to find other activities. Get your child involved in social activities. Encourage your child to get involved in physical activities.
