Sleep enough and keep a consistent wake-up time
Drink water regularly
Eat simple, nourishing meals
Get sunlight early in the day
Move your body every day, even briefly
Take a shower and change clothes
Tidy one small area around you
Open a window or step outside
Breathe slowly for a few minutes
Reduce alcohol and other numbing habits
Put your phone down for a set period
Do one small task you have been avoiding
Reach out to one person you trust
Say out loud what you are feeling
Write down what feels heavy right now
Listen to music that matches or lifts your mood
Spend time in a place that feels calm
Do something physical with your hands
Make a short plan for the next hour
Break the day into tiny steps
Let yourself rest without guilt
Seek professional help if this feeling persists
