Wasilak mentions that she oftentimes will write a list on a piece of paper or on her phone — but not just any list; a "FUN" list such as her all-time favourite restaurants or favourite holiday spots. POPSUGAR UK editor Tori Crowther similarly says that she relies on a list of "basic" things that make her feel good and calm.
On Crowther's list are activities like walking her dog, getting coffee, painting her nails, and cleaning the house; relaxing acts like settling into a hot shower and taking a whiff of nice smells such as perfume, flowers, or candles; and wellness-related tips like drinking lots of water. She also has a small list of some favourite foods and snacks that are easy to get. "Having the list on my phone gives me a physical reminder that by spending an evening or a day doing one or more of these things, I know without a doubt I'll feel better (even if it's just the slightest bit better) and more in control."
