some things that made life more bearable for me
this is just things that worked for me, im not guaranteeing that they will work for you.
getting outside. doesn't matter what im doing, going for a walk, kicking around a soccer ball(or football, whatever you call it), just sitting out in the porch for awhile.
(trying to) limit screen use. when I am scrolling, watching vids, or playing video games all day, i feel like crap. of course, it is still fun to play minecraft once in awhile or watch tv shows with my siblings, but i try not to be rotting my brain excessively
working out. going outside and riding my bike and doing some pull-ups on a tree branch, stretching, playing fitness video games, just doing at-home workouts. they don't have to be anything crazy, just chill exercise of some kind. its nice to be moving around instead of rotting in bed all day.
having some kind of daily routine or plan or goals. right now i have a schedule for school that I made that keeps me busy for ~5-6 hours a day. I get up at 7;30, shower, eat, feed my rabbit, put on some lofi and get to work with school. I eat lunch and then work on school some more. then after school i usually watch star wars rebels with my siblings, go outside, workout, do karaoke(at home), do some rubicks cube solves(also recommend this, find a beginner method tutorial on youtube and you will probably be able to figure it out. if one tutorial doesn't work, try a different one), play a video game, watch some youtube, do some chores, scroll reddit memes, chill and do nothing or stop the latest war between my 10 and 8 yo sisters. later i eat dinner and go to bed.
trying to wake up and go to sleep at roughly the same time every night. i think it really helps.
hopefully this helps some people. i can answer questions and try to help people in the comments. replys? what ever they are.
