Invest your time and energy in your family and friends to develop and keep meaningful relationships.

STEP 6 Live in the moment 活在当下

STEP 7 Volunteer 做志愿者

Volunteer and help others in need. It is beneficial to all parties involved.

STEP 8 Think small 往小里想

Think small. Instead of worrying about things in the big picture that you can't control, think about little things that make you smile, such as a song or movie you like or a friendship that's important to you.

Volunteering helps build self-esteem and confidence while helping strengthen communities and improving lives.
