At times, events in and around our lives can feel overwhelming. The best emotional reset activity I know of is laughing with good friends. Every month or two, three women and I have an afternoon of playing spades and enjoying each others' company. We always feel renewed and happy after these times, and look forward to the opportunity to get together again as soon as possible. Many people, for many reasons, have not been able to cultivate lasting friendships, and I want to assure them that it's never too late! Reach out to people when you have a good feeling about them, whether you know them well or not. Companionship, stimulating conversation, a common cause such as animal welfare -- there are many foundations on which to enjoy communion with others. Don't be afraid to open the door!
"You rest within the peace of God today, and call upon your brothers from your rest to draw them to their rest, along with you. You will be faithful to your trust today, forgetting no one, bringing everyone into the boundless circle of your peace, the holy sanctuary where you rest. Open the temple doors and let them come from far across the world, and near as well; your distant brothers and your closest friends; bid them all enter here and rest with you."
A Course in Miracles W-pI.109.8
“With one Father, even God, the whole family of man would be brethren; and with one Mind and that God, or good, the brotherhood of man would consist of Love and Truth, and have unity of Principle and spiritual power which constitute divine Science.”
Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 469:30-5
