4. Start your own journal
Penning down your thoughts and emotions is a healthy way of expressing yourself. And it is a great way of managing stress, anxiety, and overwhelming thoughts. If you are a little shy, writing a journal will provide you with a safe and non-judgemental place to express your emotions.

5. Order biryani for lunch
Give the Masterchef within you a little rest and get some comfort food. And we all know what’s one of the best comfort foods ever. Skip all the long hours of cooking and doing the dishes, just order in some biryani instead. And why wait for dinner?

In the mood for something light? Skip Friends and watch the most ridiculous shows suggested to you.

7. Organise your workstation and give it a new look
With work from home being the new normal, we spend more time on our workstation than we do in our bedroom. And by the looks of it, this situation is not changing anytime soon. So, why not organise your things and give your workstation a makeover. Add some plants, photographs, clear the clutter, and make your workstation look new. That way, dragging yourself out of bed every morning might actually be a little fun.
