- read until your eyes hurt.
- take a long shower. just think.
- listen to music; tune the world out.
- stay up so late that the world seems peaceful and friendly.
- get up so early that your household is not bombarded with family members and pets (but go back to sleep right after).
- buy or make your friends little gifts (e.g. small drawings of their favorite animal, funny pairs of socks, silly stories written, etc.)
- go on a walk; stay safe.
- jump around and dance once in awhile.
- blast your favorite song, or learn the words to another song.
- just have a cleaning day. (do laundry; organize your bathroom, etc.).
- go through things, and donate what you don’t want. (start small; try underneath your bathroom sink or the second drawer in your dresser.)
- spend a little time to yourself.
- brush up on what you have to do this week.
- find something you’ve always been wanting to do, and do it.
