Join a group outside of work.

Joining a group outside of work can help you feel socially and emotionally fulfilled. You’ll find them centered around religion, hobbies, or sports. Community volunteerism with your local school, library, food pantry, Habitat for Humanity chapter, or fire department can also fit the bill. As a side benefit, these activities can feed back into your professional life. People you meet in non-professional circles might need the freelance or consulting services you can offer, or they may know someone who can use your skills.
