Whatever kind of human connection you need, seek it out. Make new friends or reconnect with old ones. Spend more time with your spouse to re-spark that connection between you. Make it a point to say yes if you get asked out on a date or do more asking! One thing that connects everyone? We all want to feel connected.

Tired
Image Source
You have been going at full speed for a long time and it's time you gave yourself a little break. It's great to work hard and get things accomplished, but remember to take some time out for yourself. Balancing work, family, friends, school, and everything else you have going on takes a lot of energy. Find a way to take a personal day once in a while so you can have some time for yourself. Even if you just sleep the whole day that may be exactly what your body needs. No possible way you can take an entire day off? Find little things you can do like going to bed earlier, taking more breaks throughout the day, or take a power nap. If you keep yourself well rested you will ultimately be able to get more accomplished.

Hungry

It sounds like it's been a long time since you've had a really good meal and your body wants some food! If you're on a diet that's great, but make sure to remember that balance is important and use portion control. If you just can't have it, then allow yourself some kind of substitute. Lots of products come in reduced fat and sugar versions. If you have an allergy you can find glucose and lactose free versions of many items. Basically food taste good and it's enjoyable to eat it. If we do it in moderation most of us can eat a little bit of whatever we want. So don't starve yourself, just balance out your diet.
