Learn to Do Nothing
Here’s an idea: When you’re bored, teach yourself to do nothing at all. In a culture that emphasizes the need to be going, going, going all the time, it will only benefit you to learn how to just enjoy doing nothing. Maybe sit on the couch or take a nap or a walk. Whatever it is, there’s no need to feel guilty about just existing and relaxing, so you might as well learn to do it!

Print Out Your Favorite Photos
Physical photos may not be as common as they've been in the past, but that makes them even more special. Take the time to print out your very favorite images that have only existed digitally up until now, and you'll feel like you're giving them a whole new life> Bonus points if you frame and hang them, too.

Start a Gratitude Journal
Even if you don’t want to do anything too exhaustive or busy, it’s easy enough to take the free time you have to start a habit that you can stick with all year.
Try starting a gratitude journal and writing one line (or even one word) a day that reminds you of something you’re thankful for.

Call a Friend or Family Member
You’d be surprised how much taking the time to talk to a loved one on the phone (or in person, if you have a lot of time) can boost your mood. You’ll also be surprised how great it will probably make the other person feel to know you’re thinking of them.

Clean Out Your Closet
Websites and apps like Poshmark make it easy to sell your old clothes, unused makeup, and even home goods. There’s nothing better than turning a boring afternoon into feeling like you accomplished something and made some money.

Organize Your Phone's Apps
If you get tired of looking at cluttered phone, full of apps and notes and chaos, then take a few minutes to organize your phone. Divide your apps by use, subject, or even color and you’ll automatically feel more calm every time you look at your home screen.
hope these can help your life feel better!
