- eat food that u like (bonus points if u cook a recipe, I find it very therapeutic)
- dont procrastinate on cleaning - do it at the start of ur day and end of ur day (also therapeutic)
- move ur body!! dance, walk, run, stretch!!!!!!!! it’ll help regulate ur parasympathetic nervous system
- cold showers stimulate neural pathway development :)
- be careful with what songs u listen to, make sure the lyrics aren’t..erm condescending bc I believe words u tell urself/listen to are very powerful.
- pursue long-form media & hobbies to refocus ur attention span perhaps into a book, a feel-good movie/tv show OR paint, journal, sew clothes, make a bracelet.
- explore ur city! pottery classes, farmers markets, botanical gardens, thrift stores, new park, new food spots
- always indulge in ur appearance even if u aren’t going anywhere. Wear clean clothes, brush ur hair, be hygienic, indulge in skincare. :)

When i say everything can be different i mean it !
changing your bed‘s position can give you a sense of difference in your day to day life.
So let’s go slowly and expand that with little resources :
Home :
-Changing your room from bed position to where the desk is - maybe even change the whole room with the other siblings/parents.
-As an outfit repeater i always try to put a piece with a different one just to be able to create a new out.
-Art is your friend, try to sketch, colorbooks, craft, crochet, etc…
- Journaling with prompts, use tiktok and youtube to get prompts and start writing as much as you like
- discover the internet, start searching new niche websites as a hobby, searching by itself is a hobby, use reddit to discover to world.
- try new recipes with the ingredients you already have in the kitchen.
- pinterest mood boards
- reading books
- get into movies, analyse the movie, rhe colorgrade, the technique etc..
- discover new music
Outside :
- try new roads
- discover your city parks
- register in a library
- walk by the beach even if it’s cold
- collect plants (either by taking pictures for a digital board or a physical one in your journal book)
- watch the sunset with music on
- try new drinks in your local coffeeshop
- window shopping (you dont have money so what ? Just look at the items even try them, you like it ? Thats a motivation point to be able to save up for it for the next sale season etc..)
- if you work or use your laptop to study, use the internet to make it more fun ( ex : search how you can navigate your mail box without using your mouse - search how you can write a whole email without touching the mouse - make your tables colorful - try a new style of writing - etc …)
- after work/school, dont go straight home, walk a bit, discover anything “new” around you.
- before school/work, try to wake up earlier, get pretty for yourself, skin care routine, shower a bit longer, make your fav breakfast, walk slow to ur destination..
- ask around if u can do any volunteer work in your city.
- join a book club
- join a craft club

honestly try anything and everything! nothing exists but the present moment. when i want to switch up my day, i’ll read a new book, learn a new recipe, even watching a show feels more productive than doomscrolling on my phone. the easiest way for me to find something to do is looking around my house and using any object i find, or even cleaning. going on walks! oooh if you live in a city, nothing is better than a walk

this afternoon I mentally prepped myself to go on a run. before I left the house I impulsively ate a garden gummy. its 21c, I coughed a lot, splashed cold water on my face, walked more than I ran, got honked by a car, and the veggies did not kick until I got home. now im sleepy, eating my weight in food, and trying to pick up my energy so I can do at least 3 productive practices today. and if not... try to honour rest :-) but I rly do need to work

There's something about a wet and humid early morning that heals my soul. It's like a free sound bath. Especially if you are lucky and have a little bit of thunder alongside.
