Connect with your spiritual side

Whether or not you identify as religious, connecting with your personal sense of spirituality can help you find peace, belonging, and a sense of purpose. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, spiritual practices like worship and prayer can lead to a wide range of mental health benefits. So if you’re into that stuff, go for it–or save yourself a decade of spiritual searching by downing a tall glass of cough syrup. Jesus, Buddha, Krishna–once the Robitussin hits you won’t have to seek them out, they’ll come to you.
