As you go through lives ups and downs, you may find that you are in need of a spiritual pick me up. When you are struggling through difficult times, it is so easy to become focused on your needs and trials. This can cause you to feel depressed or separated. It can also affect how in tune you are with the spirit.
One easy way to do solve this problem is to begin to serve others. Often when you think of service you think of giving something or spending a lot of time on something. An act of service can be as simple as a thank you card, or a note letting someone know how much your admire them. You may choose to reach out and befriend new members of your ward or your neighbors as well. This will give you the opportunity to support others when they are going through trials. It can also help you to stop focusing on yourself. You can be a good friend by simply listening or encouraging those around you.
Finally if you feel you are spiritually low, you should spend some time studying the scriptures and praying on a daily basis. Visiting the temple more often can also help to bring you a sense of peace and contentment. As you do these things you may find that your attitude changes. Sometimes we still have the trials to face, but with a new perspective it is easier to get through them.
Remember to take time to nourish and care for both your spirit and body. If you are in poor health, constantly tired or having a difficult time accomplishing your daily tasks you may need to take better care of your body. If you get enough sleep and eat well, you will find that you will have a brighter outlook on life as well.
