Some different things you might want to try:

- Take a day off. Allow yourself at least one full day of not thinking about whatever you are struggling with.

- Take a long walk. Like 1 or 2 hours.

- Listen to some music you love. Maybe even go see a concert (covid permitting).

- Call up a friend or family member you haven't talked to in a while.

- Take a walk with a friend, or have a beer or meal with them.

- Shoot some hoops or pool, or do some manual labor, like shoveling snow or raking leaves. Get your body moving and focus on something concrete.

- Try to dump out all your thoughts onto a pad of paper (or a txt document).

- Draw, paint, play music.

- Get out of the city. Or go into the city.

Basically, get your brain and body working in a different mode. The only thing you know is that doing that same thing every day isn't working for you, so you have to shake things up a bit. Good luck!
