I like to read or play some games usually. I have a few “fun reads” that I can come back to like some Vonnegut or comics I always enjoy. Gaming can work for a little bit but I get more easily burnt out with that. Sometimes I’ll walk my dogs or sit outside with them in the yard. Get some sun on my skin and fresh air.

You could clean or move stuff around too. A change of scenery and tidiness helps me break away from the monotony of everyday life.

I don’t recommend alcohol. I’m trying to stop drinking now but I’ve have a few “almost shot myself in the head because alcohol digs me deeper in my hole of despair” moments. Weed helps me relax too but there can be a point where the dependence on that our weighs the benefits.
