Make friends on the other side of the world, their timezones will make them awake at night

Listen to comedy podcasts or stand ups. In english I started listening to clips of Ricky Gervais with Karl Pilkington if I ever have any solitary work, there are long compilations and clips on YouTube if you search for them. Theo Von with Bobby Lee are another English pair I find funny on YouTube. I mention comedy instead of other informational audio because if you find something funny enough it can cause a disruption in your nagging brain, if you’re already anxious you don’t need the added strain of true crime or politics

I allllways suggest people start up a physical project, whether it’s deep cleaning a room, doing a renovation, building outside, gardening, building dioramas. If you are someone who stresses over perfection, choose a cleaning activity rather than a from-scratch one until you can learn to appreciate your ability to create.

Being able to /see/ progress in a project is a major major mood booster. More so than progress in, like, videogames, or other non-physical things. Physical activity will also wear you out faster and give you a more deserved rest. Ending the day with a little muscle ache is motivating
