drop a heartfelt appreciation message in your mutuals’ inboxes! Some ideas of things to say are how they make you feel, what your earliest memory of them was, first impressions and favourite memory with them. What do you love about what they post or reblog? What do you associate them most with? For bonus points, you can even draw em a little doodle on a post-it note or send a cute animal gif!

pick a tag you like, be it a fandom, a random word or just art and go on an art reblogging spree! Show artists on tumblr some love today! If you wanna go even harder, leave them a lovely comment or an ask telling them how their art makes you feel, reblog their commission post to boost it or/and even follow them if you want! Today is a good day to find amazing art to fill your dash!

if you’re a fanfic reader, read some fanfics and drop a kudos and comment! Reread an old fic or find some new ones - tell the author what you enjoyed, what you love about their writing style, what your favourite line was, what impact their story has had on your life, and what you look forward to in the story! Give them something sweet to read in their inbox, no matter how short or long it is! It’ll really make their day, I guarantee it. Also consider recommending some fics to a friend so they can experience how the fic made you feel too!

follow some self care and self love blogs that you vibe with! If you do this, you’ll be more likely to see positive posts on your dash sprinkled amongst your usual stuff, and who knows, you may really need to hear it someday. Look for blogs that remind you to eat a snack, drink some water, take a break, relax your jaw, take your meds, go offline for a bit, look outside etc. Or even blogs that post affirmations and reassurance fairly often. Your future self will thank you for it. Don’t forget, reblogging these will put them on your followers’ dash too and might help them through a bad spot or get them to finally grab a snack!

text or call someone you love to tell them you love them today. (Not an ex!) Especially if it’s someone you’re related to by blood and deeply care about but don’t say ‘I love you’ to often. No matter what jokey comments they send back about you going soft, it’s worth it. You never know how much someone needs to hear this.

spend some time with a family member, especially if they’re elderly. Make them a drink and ask them about their, or your, history. Connect with them and make them feel loved today.

spend some time with a friend or acquaintance who wants to socialise and feels alone today. Whether it be that something bad happened last Valentine’s Day or recently, or you know they’re prone to struggling more today, enjoy some time together to get their mind off it. Make sure you’re spending it in a way you both enjoy - going out or staying in. Order some good food you’ve been craving, watch a movie, and have fun!

spend some time with a pet and just focus on the feeling of petting them and hugging them. Take comfort in feeling how warm and soft they are, and think about all the times you were sad and they were right there to make you feel better. Give them a treat, teach them a new trick, or go online shopping for a new collar, customised tag, leash, costume or cute, little hat if they wearing these things don’t bother them in the slightest! Take a few pictures and videos of them for you to look at later when you feel sad and maybe even send to other people to cheer them up!

listen to or make a new playlist! If you don’t have a playlist for songs to listen to for comfort, for post-breakdowns to ease you into recovery again, for when you have a headache, for calming yourself down and stopping yourself from doing something unwise, for feeling safe, for feeling good, or for feeling like a badass, curate one! You could even make a playlist for a loved one or a friend, or a character or AU that you’re into rn! Another option is to search up a favourite character, fandom or vibe and check out other people’s playlists!

download some calming and helpful apps! Some ideas are dailybean or daylio for daily journaling (you just tap on icons, no need to actually write out what you’ve done, but there’s a place to do that too), study bunny which helps you keep track of your study hours through timers using a lil bunny and aloe bud which reminds you to self care in diff ways. Consider ones that will send self care and self love notifs to your lockscreen too. For calm, idle games, there’s also tsuki odyssey (which I love to bits) where you can check in on a bunny in a village, fish and buy furniture for his house, neko atsume where you check in on your backyard for kitties and put out toys and food for them, and cats and soup, where you get to tap on cats making soup, fish for them to eat and dress them. Happy relaxing!

buy something nice! Treat yourself! This can be something as simple as pair of earrings, a new game on steam, a plushie, a new duvet cover and pillowcase, a poster, an album, some new slippers, or something practical that will make your life a lot easier on those hard days. You could also buy a picture frame for a photo you really love and keep it somewhere close to you.

get a haircut, dye your hair or go get a consultation! Switch out negative energy for good energy and get a style that will make you feel happy, comfortable and confident.

dress up for yourself! Wear something you haven’t worn in ages, an outfit that you thought was too much or too dramatic or too glamorous. Wear it, even if it’s just in your own room! Take selfies just for you or ask a family member to take a picture or video of you. If you’re feeling confident, wear it out too! (Stay safe and with a friend!) I bet you’ll look awesome.
