Good idea.
Don't forget you always have your breath! Remembering to breathe on purpose at least a few times a day helps me get the rest of the helpful things in order a bit more efficiently.
Are there any bartering opportunities around? I offer to help some of my favorite farmers and master herbalists during their busy seasons. They absolutely love having an extra set of hands there to help and that extra time in nature is priceless to me. I always walk away with locally grown organic yumminess along with more knowledge and a lighter heart than when I arrived.
Any drum circles or community workshops or fun festivals that you'd enjoy happening? You can often volunteer for like a 4 hour shift doing a task of your choosing to get free access to the larger venues. Many community things are often donation based. Drum circles don't even require you own an instrument, as many are often glad to share theirs, and they also warmly welcome folks just wishing to soak up the vibes and maybe dance a bit if they're feeling it. I like to take hula hoops and other small percussive things when I go.
I benefit from written and visible prompts at times, too, like affirmations on my dry erase boards (most made from el cheapo thrift shop frames with a piece of construction paper in place of the photos), or some of the magnets I make with reminders like, A.F.G.O. - Another F'n Growth Opportunity, Y.A.N.A. - You Are Not Alone, etc. It helps keep my brain pointed, or redirect if need be, in a healthier direction. Pocket rocks help, too, when I have to be away from home. Just a small smooth favorite rock of some sort to hold onto and fiddle with. I'll often draw a heart on it to remind me of how much I need to love me in each moment.
