    I always find perspective in spoiling myself in little ways. Long hikes, peaceful places, music, a good book, a talk with good friends. All those things recharge me and help me gain perspective..

    Remind them that life is like a box of chocolates, but they don't have to eat the whole box at one go. Take care of the small things a nibble at a time, and savor the different flavors and textures, and they'll find that they're able to appreciate them, and deal with them a lot more effectively.
