People who are living in the city needs a routine getaway back
to the nature.
Going back to nature(avoid crowded holiday places) imo and
ime(in my experience) would restore the humility back to us and
makes us realize that we are only a small part of the natural
order.
When you go the the mountain the rock could be as big as your
house, the cliffs goes down to a frightening depth, the night looks
so dark and alive. It all makes us feel vulnerable and would
restore our humility and lose our self centeredness. Hey the world
doesn't revolves around me afterall or that my girlfriend or that
of my parents or that of my schooling or that of my problems.
Suddenly you find yourself 'alone' and all the things that you
take pride in have suddenly lost its values. Your car cannot go
where you are, your position is now irrelevant, your money is now
useless, your grades is now too useless, you good looks is now of
no value too. Your strength is now not as strong as you once
thought. You now are without any armor. There's nothing standing
between you and the might of God that surrounds you. You are now in
His mercy(we have always been but we seldom realize that).
Going to a beautiful secluded beach would also help. To see all
that sands and the ocean empty of people. The waves so big that it
deprives us of our pride. The ocean so vast and yet there's no
single human who could live there. We are small indeed.
