Everyone has their off days. I’m even struggling to write an article right now. Sometimes you fall in a “funk” and can’t find motivation to do anything. It may be a weird time in your life or just some old fashion stress. It’s good to detox yourself every now and then, and everyone deserves a “catch up” day whether you’re a middle schooler stressed over two big tests or a 55 year old employed CEO who can’t concentrate on the material to present at the big business meeting. If you’re taking a day to recover, here’s just a few things you should consider doing to get you refreshed and recharged.

1. Go for a walk
2. Take a nap
3. Pet a dog
4. Play with puppies at the animal shelter
5. Volunteer at the animal shelter weekly
6. Go buy some bath bombs
7. Take a bubble bath
8. Go through all the “crap” laying around your room
9. Recall some amazing memories from said “crap”
10. Catch up with a friend
11. Go on a coffee date
12. Go to a movie
13. Call a relative just to see how things are
14. Maybe do your homework

36. Start a new series on Netflix
37. Finish your new series so you can start another one
38. Finally watch that movie that your co-worker has been recommending
39. Google where you know that one actor from
40. Fall down a wormhole of all his past roles
41. Find out who this actor is allegedly dating
42. Then fall down a wormhole of stalking her
43. While you’re on Google, you may as well check up on current events
44. Educate yourself on what’s happening in the presidential elections
45. If you get furious with the debates, you can just search for all the memes about Trump. That’s always entertaining.
46. Maybe while searching for memes, you fall into the vortex of presidential conspiracy theories
47. Research everything about the 9/11 Bush conspiracy theory
48. Then find hilarious theories like the one about the royal family being lizard people or the Mayan countdown to the world’s end in 2012 actually being the countdown to the hobbit movie.
49. Log off the Internet before it gets weird
50. Do your hair and makeup and get dressed up and have a photo session
51. Take selfies in your sweatpants and messy bun. No judgement
52. Post your best one on Twitter because you can
53. Or just keep them for yourself because your eyeliner looked like it was done by the gods and should be cherished by only those who will appreciate its beauty
54. Redecorate your room
55. Wash your sheets and blankets
56. Search for a new favorite game in the App store
57. Become addicted to this new game
58. Throw your phone/iPad in frustration because you can’t beat this new game
59. Paint a picture
60. BREATHE!

If all else fails, just scream into a pillow and start your day over again. The day can restart at 3 PM if it has to. Just remember it’s okay to feel down in the dumps or in a funk every now and then. Just write it off as a weird day, and try again. You can do it! I promise.
