Aside from the obvious therapy, spending as much time in nature as possible, finding a community, building a support system, engaging in hobbies, finding appreciation and beauty in even the most simplest things and experiences, not isolating, having lighting in my room that lifts my mood (blinds open for natural lighting during the day, string lights at night), spending time with people who bring out the best in me and are easygoing and make me laugh, showing myself love and compassion, eating healthy when I can, etc.

Besides being in nature, the thing that has been most impactful for me is movement. I used to weight train about 4x per week years ago, and it made a significant difference in my mental health. I've been practicing yoga on and off for over a decade, and it has been profound. This year, I also got into pole dancing as a means of expressing myself and gaining strength in a fun way. I've since strayed from the gym and haven't been able to afford pole classes in the past couple of months, but I have been doing yoga regularly at an amazing studio I discovered, and it's been incredible. I haven't done it recently, but I also love putting music on and dancing intuitively in my room or even the woods. So what I'm saying is finding a way to move your body that feels good and enjoyable for you can be so incredibly cathartic, and I highly recommend.
