Doing something productive. Idk what it is, but even something as boring as doing dishes or dusting makes me realize "alright, I can do more than sit around moping". Sometimes it paves the way to do things I really want to do, like cooking a certain dish or writing about something on my mind.
It's basically hijacking your own brain. Dopamine is a neurochemical associated with positive feelings and motivation, and in order to get your brain to start producing it, you have to start small. For whatever reason, the brain doesn't like leaving things incomplete, so when you get the ball rolling on something you can start making real progress in your life
