Anxious? Clean space clean mind. Depressed? Do your laundry or wash your linens. Lack of self confidence? Go a bit further on your skin care treatment.
If you’re really glued to the seat, read a book. It’s good escapism and if you can’t do that then it’s probably time to look inward.

- 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. :)

I know this sounds like faffy lightweight advice, but I’ve learned that the #1 thing you can do to help in stressful times is avoid moralizing and beating yourself up over your perceived failures to Do All The Stuff You’re Supposed To Do.
So, you didn’t fold your laundry? Big deal! Things will slow down at some point and you can get back on track.
Freeing yourself from self-imposed judgments takes a huge mental load off and helps clarify priorities and what you can focus on to get out of the hole.

40-60 year old people get laid off daily after 15+ years in an industry and have to restart. You’re too young to even know life’s all about restarting and it’s all relative. Fall in love with the process of learning and it’ll never be scary. You might even end up loving what you pivot too. You’ll be fine.
