I have had similar experience and here is what I think. It is a perfect time to explore the following.

  1. Mindfulness techniques and meditation.
  2. Going for a run. Creating monthly challenges is a great way to keep the motivation going.
  3. Reading non fiction books. I suggest bookauthority.org/ to explore different options. Monthly challenges can help in this category as well.
  4. Working from a coffee shop for couple of hours if any are open in your area.
  5. DIY projects, building a website & open source contributions.
  6. Cooking!
  7. Learning a music instrument.
  8. Listening to sleep stories in calm app or youtube. This has greatly helped me fall asleep like a baby.
  9. I personally enjoy coffee but switching to green tea might help with anxiety.
  10. Getting rid of things that you don’t need or remind you of painful experiences. Creating more space is definitely calming.

This is probably the best time to truly explore and experience this beautiful world & the universe.
