Just like some countries in the 1930’s.

Take a walk, weather permitting, and just say HI to most people you see on the walk. If you are in a large city, you may be pleasantly surprised at their reactions.

Read a good, or even a bad, book. Let yourself fall in to the pages and get lost in the story. I suggest a story with a great ending, one that will leave you feeling wonderful.

Or if you love learning anything new, studying a subject you have been interested in.
