There are so many free exercise videos available online right now, so take advantage!

I love fun Youtube dance videos like the one above, but there are tons of options out there!

Blogilates is super popular among CF readers, while the company Peloton is currently offering a free exercise video app subscription (you don’t need the bike to do the videos) for 90 days! (Note: Peloton does charge once the 90 days are up so be sure to cancel if you don’t want to be billed.)

8. Organize and Declutter

Decluttering helps clear your space/environment and therefore clears your mind. Organizing gives everything a home and helps keep messes at bay. Basically, if your space is organized and well maintained, it will be easier to keep your thoughts that way.

We have a ton of posts on organizing, such as Ten Tips to Help You Declutter and Ten Ways to Organize Your Room. I will say though that you should always declutter before organizing, that way you’re only organizing the things you’re keeping.

9. Put On Some Music

Music is a great mood booster, and it can be a game changer when you’re stuck indoors. Listening to songs you enjoy can help release dopamine, a feel-good neurochemical. Plus, dancing to music is just fun — it’s one of my favorite ways to destress.
