Be part of many social groups.
The support and activity makes you better able to deal with stress and to recover from physical challenges.
From Science Daily:
Being a part of many different social groups can improve mental health and help a person cope with stressful events. It also leads to better physical health, making you more able to withstand — and recover faster from — physical challenges, according to a study in the current Social Psychological and Personality Science.
Belonging to groups, such as networks of friends, family, clubs and sport teams, improves mental health because groups provide support, help you to feel good about yourself and keep you active. But belonging to many different groups might also help to make you psychologically and physically stronger. People with multiple group memberships cope better when faced with stressful situations such as recovering from stroke and are even more likely to stay cold-free when exposed to the cold virus.
