Helping others: think of anyone in your life or who lives near you who you can help, with something practical or with a few kind words. Volunteer somewhere once a week in something you find enjoyable or meaningful. There are so many people who are lonely or stuck or need some kind of help, and to those people even the smallest kindness can make a big difference to them.

Get to know yourself, maybe by writing a diary. Try to discover what you like to do, what makes you feel happy, fulfilled, content, alive, excited. If you can, get the books "The Artist's Way" and "The Seven Habits of Highly Successful People". They both have really good ideas for practical things to do. There is an exercise when you imagine your own funeral and you think about what you would like people to be saying about you, what kind of person you were and what you did in your life.
