Happiness Tip:

Board games seem like a trivial thing that probably doesn’t make much of a difference to our long-term well-being. However, we know that fun social activities are declining all over the world and being replaced by screen time. Board games are a great way to spend more time with groups of people and increase well-being. It is important to select the right game for the group. Some groups like skill or knowledge based games. Others need to be games that have more luck involved so that no one feels at a disadvantage. It can also be good to find games that have teams, bluffing or anything that causes a lot of laughter. One good game type helps everyone learn about other players, such as games that ask “Would you rather do this or that?”

How can I process my hurtful experiences?
Source: Happiness Tips

Therapy is often the best option because a therapist can tailor it specifically to your needs. However, many self-help exercises are also available. There are many apps, books and workbooks that address either specific areas of unprocessed hurtful experiences such as abuse or having narcissistic parents and there are also general mental health apps that help with a wider assortment of issues. If you don't know where to start, first search for apps or books on specific past hurtful events that pertain to you such as a divorce. If those don't feel applicable, then search for general help with terms like "CBT", "DBT", or simply "mental health apps or books".

Over the last 30 years, people in western countries started spending far less time in regular social situations like religious groups, weekly bowling leagues or game night. Scientists believe this reduction in socialization is a primary driver of mental health issues like anxiety and depression. Try to find regular activities with others that are with a group of people that won't emotionally ambush you (emotionally safe) and that display moral behavior.

Perhaps the most common way to cultivate close friendships is to have recurring activities together. A problem with meeting just to talk is that you “catch up” and run out of things to say. If you have a regular activity, like some form of exercise (walking, hiking, playing basketball, etc.) or a recurring game (cards, bowling, etc.), then you aren’t pressured to have new, interesting topics because the primary goal is the activity itself.
