1. Flip through photos of loved ones or a past vacation
2. Eat nuts
3. Inhale a calming sent
4. Get some sunshine
5. Walk around the block
6. Clear away clutter
7.  Think fast
8. Watch a funny youtube video
9. Spend money on experiences (dinner, travel) and not material items
10. Smile
11. Zone out - clear your mind
12.  Chat with a neighbour
