Like to add that if you are a girl, go hangout at the local family hardware store. I worked at one all through college and got more father figures and free handyman training than I ever imagined. It was a better education than college was.

This combo is my husband's dream come true.

You don't have to sit still and quiet to meditate. Try doing a repetative action instead. You want to find something you can do on autopilot so you can hyperfocus and turn your brain off. You could run, dance, do yoga. Personally I'm lazy so I knit. The goal is to get so focused on the activity that everything else falls away.

I genuinely love this answer :-)
