Restore Your Faith
When life's got you down, you might begin to lose hope in everything, including your beliefs. Spiritual teacher Dr. Wayne Dyer says it's at those times when you need to keep moving forward and start to strengthen your bond with faith again.

Help Others
This is the thing that helps me most when I'm down or have lost faith: to extend kindness and service to someone else, to want more for someone else the peace that I want for myself. By doing this, I begin to take my attention off myself, off what's wrong and what I don't like (my ego). Instead, I begin to think in terms of giving rather than receiving, of offering and serving. I change my inner mantra from "What's in it for me?" to "How may I serve?" Almost instantly, when I shift attention off myself and reach out to others, the thing that I thought could never be fixed is, in fact, fixed.
