Visit a place of worship and attend a service. Whether it is a church, temple, mosque, or another type of spiritual gathering, attending a spiritual service can be a great way to learn about the beliefs and practices of others.

Mindfulness is the practice of being aware of your thoughts, feelings, and actions while being present in the moment. Try incorporating mindful living into your daily routine by being mindful of your breath during meditation, or taking time to be aware of your surroundings each day.
