Crafted Frames
Crafting is a pretty forgiving thing if you take the time and feel free to express yourself. Try to surround yourself with good memories by putting up pictures that make you happy, whether they are photographs of some fun times you had, family members, or artworks that you like. How you decorate your environment can significantly affect your mood, so why not try to put up some wall decor and create some frames?
If you’re down to dive in, you can buy some dimensional lumber to work as a gorgeous base for the frames you’ll be making. You can even use them to make wall pieces, but as a focus on frames, the beauty of this type of wood is that it doesn’t look bare or lackluster if you decide to leave it as is. That said, you can always craft it up and add some other art materials to brandish the frame more. You can also stick to a few coats of paint to color your frames.

Vision Board
If you’re not one for using tools, then an easier DIY project to try is to create a vision board. There’s not a single way to do it, so you can go from anything as simple as a small illustration board with cutouts and printouts to a giant corkboard you’ve decked out with 3D elements. The design style is really up to you, whether you want something minimalist or you have a specific theme and color scheme in mind.
The most crucial part of creating a vision board, though, is the messaging and ideas that you put into it. The purpose of the vision board is to manifest your goals and desires by serving as a constant positive reminder for you to look on to. Even while you create it, it can be very grounding and helpful to figure out what it is you genuinely care about and to give you time to work out what you want for your future.

Soap Making
Making soap is not as complicated as you might think, and you can even do it without using lye. The final product you end up with serves a practical purpose that can be very soothing for your baths with the right scents and colors. That said, even the process of making the soap can be very relaxing and gratifying at the same time. All you have to do at first is pick a recipe you want to follow, get your soap base, and then select your fragrance. From there, you can start the process, which is only a six-step procedure.
There are lots of little activities you can try that can make you feel better. So why not go for them?
