In doubt or desperation
Below are some of the easiest ways to alleviate the moments where you feel doubtful or desperate.
- Write exactly what you feel on a piece of paper. Trash it
- Clean your cupboard. Iron your clothes while listening to music.
- Call up a friend you haven't spoken to in a while
- Take a piece of paper, and just scribble. Don't try to draw. Just scribble away.
- Go through you phone gallery or google photos or cloud photos or wherever it is you store the photographs you took.
- Try reading and eventually take a nap
- Look at memes and make a few that depict your situation.Laugh
- Watch a food show.
- Go through your saved/ bookmarked posts and copy them on a word document or notion or roam or logseq or notes or wherever you keep stuff and forget to revisit.
- Listen to an entire music album without skipping any songs. Could do the same on Apple radio feature or YouTube. Don't skip a song.
- Drink warm water. Not lukewarm. The state between hot and lukewarm.
- Draw a comic panel with stick figures.
- Take an ice-cube and place it on your nape. Ask someone to do it if they're around.
- Cry it out. This one works like a charm
- Make a list of things you wish to buy in the next three months. Create categories for immediate, midterm, delay.
- Try out all the clothes in your closet. Iron them before you keep them away
- Attempt a medium sudoku puzzle
- Take a bath even if you've had one before.
- Try listening to a free meditation on YouTube? If you can't focus on it, I understand but give it a try.
- Spend some time on Pinterest? I like the non-interactive aspect of pinterest. You just look at things and move on.
