I know journaling might be one, and doing new things from time to time, curious if people have other tips

I started a diary. It's a nice check in that I can do with myself whenever I feel like it. It's a good way to take yourself out of autopilot and putting conscious attention at the goings on in your life.

Plus you get to read it later and see how things have actually changed!

I think that's a great idea! I've often wanted to start journaling or a diary, but I am disabled and spend most days miserable and in pain stuck at home or in bed, just trying to distract myself from my symptoms (usually by browsing the Internet, since I don't have many options) to get through the day, so I don't really know what to write each day, ya know? I'm commenting in hopes that maybe it'll help me actually start in some way, lol. Especially because my memory can be pretty spotty and iffy. Maybe I'll just write about how I don't know what to write, haha!
