Just go ahead and immerse yourself in the words of the book, I'm pretty sure you'd be glad you did when everything is over. 2. Try calling someone you haven't called in a while. It's easy to get lost in our busy schedules and appointments day after day so much that we might forget to stay in touch with family and loved ones. Well, guess what? Now might be a perfect opportunity to reach out to them. When you call someone you haven't heard from in a while, most times, it brings a sweet and refreshing feeling of excitement. It also tells your loved ones that you are thinking about them and you care about them. 3. Exercise. The idea of exercising might seem a little challenging. The benefits, however, far overweigh the stress. Here's the good news about exercising. You don't necessarily have to go to the gym to exercise. There are a couple of exercises you can comfortably do in your house to boost your health and fitness. All you need to do is go online, compile a couple of workout videos that you can do. Who knows, you might be surprised to find yourself enjoying it. Or take a course online. There are several platforms online where you can either take a course or quiz. The good thing about doing this is that you are not engaging yourself in physical activities but also mental exercises that can help strengthen your mind and put it to good use. With quizzes, you are both gaining knowledge and giving out some. 5. Planning to do list for the next couple of days. When you plan out a few things that you intend to do for the next couple of days, you give yourself something to look forward to and that will not only help you kill the present boredom but also eliminate the ones to come. Given that such a wise thing to do, it could be either old or new ideas. It could even be something that you have started working on in the past. Either way, put plans in place that can help you accomplish your goals and spend the next few days working towards it. 6. Write a story or poem. One of the best ways to occupy your mind is writing. You could write a story, poem, or you could even write about your emotions and experiences in the last couple of days, months, or years. Writing this can help you discover specific things about yourself that you never knew or imagined. You know, one of the best things that can happen to anyone is self-discovery. Writing things down can give you a perspective about yourself, such as the way you think and perceive the world around you. Your ideas of what success is and what it isn't, what you love doing most, the skills you think you'd like to improve, etc. 7. Watch some of your favorite movies. You probably didn't see this coming but hey, why not? Watching movies can help to relieve you of the tension you might have accrued during the day. Also, watching a movie can be interesting with you waiting to find out how the story ends. It can help boost your mood. You can either watch the movies alone or with your loved ones. 8. Declutter your space. One thing we all like is the idea of changing something to look better. Decluttering your space can make you look arranged and organized, giving it a new look that can make you feel so proud of yourself for putting the work required to have gotten that look. It's a feeling of satisfaction. 9. Sleep. Sometimes what you need is sleep and there is absolutely nothing wrong with doing that. There are lots of benefits of sleep and if you feel that you have nothing to do or you don't feel like doing anything, sleeping is a great way to relax. The truth is that you don't always have to be busy. Sometimes you need to rest. So why stress yourself doing everything else but resting if you feel the need to do so? Anyway, there you go.
