1) reading and watching movies. I feel like I say this a lot On Here but it is so nice to literally remove your own thoughts from your brain for a while by consuming (being consumed by?) a story. 2) friends. Remind yourself that there is love in the world and in your life. 3) start a project. Give yourself something to do and be excited about. 4) go for a walk and looking to see what small and interesting things you might see. treat it like you’re on a scavenger hunt but you dont know what you’re looking for. 5) eat fresh vegetables and fruits you are excited about perhaps from the farmers market and more generally feed yourself things that make you feel joy 6) get concert tickets or something similar for at least a month in the future give yourself something to look forward to 7) pop music and dancing to it 8) hang out with an animal 9) volunteer for a cause you specifically care about and find a volunteer role that you feel well suited for — when the world is scary and sad the best way to make yourself feel more in control and less hopeless is to actively work to make something better. there is no progress without hope! and even better, you might have fun and meet cool people while you do it.

- 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. :)

1. get outside I don’t think there’s anything better to help you appreciate the world you live in than getting outside. If you have a raincoat it can even be fun if the weather is terrible! 2. When you do get out try and take everything in. How much has the grass grown? What new people are in your area? What can you smell? Try touching leaves or walls. Using all your senses gives you a new appreciation for things! 3. Try something new. Walk a new route. Try a new hobby. See a new movie. Eat a donut you always wanted to try. Go do some volunteering. 4. Just practice smiling and laughing, it actually makes you feel better and have a better time (according to some science). Ultimately I think it’s important to be out and a part of the world. That way you feel connected! Kind of rambled, so sorry if not quite what you’re looking for but hopefully helps a bit. Everyone feels pessimistic at times (even the happy clappy optimists!)

When i say everything can be different i mean it ! changing your bedā€˜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 ā€œnewā€ 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
