START NEW HOBBIES AND KEEP THE OLD ONES

It is important to stay active and maintain some normalcy in your life – meet up with like-minded doers such as yourself by joining Meetup.com and type in your favorite interest. Let’s say you enjoy hiking, type in “hiking” and various groups of people meeting up for hikes will pop up – not only will you be making friends, you will also be staying active.

If Meetup.com is not your thing, try getting involved with community organizations or volunteering your time at the local flea market. Most organizations are looking for some extra help and it beats staying at home. Get out and be social when you can – you may learn a thing or two as well!
