What I have done recently or am doing:
- Turning off most of the notifications
- Trying to connect with old friends
- Listening to podcasts and reading ebooks
- Watching my favourite tv-show
- Watching “Oddly satisfying compilation videos”
- Participating in free online courses
- Reading funny or interesting blogs
- Ignoring my phone
- Googling “magnificent trees”
What I’d like to do:
- Avoiding screens one hour before going to sleep
- Avoiding news for two weeks
- Making a playlist of my favourite songs
- Looking cute animal pictures
- Exchanging books with friends
What I have tried, but wasn’t my thing:
- There were a lot of recommendations for videos and relaxing sounds. I listened, but didn’t like most of them.
- Giving stuff away or selling online – it isn’t for me, I just collect stuff together and take it to second-hand shop or give away to my friends
- Downloading a game to my phone – I get addicted too easily
- Using pinterest for getting ideas – it was irritating for me, because everyone seemed so happy
