— reconnect with an old friend, relative, spent time with your pet. go for a walk even
— listen to the songs you liked when you were younger to remind yourself that you are real and made up of experiences
— stare at yourself in the mirror for an uncomfortable amount of time and ask your reflection how do the things u worry about actually affect you
— stick your hands in the dirt

Not on an emotional level - that seems impossible sometimes.
Rather physically. Remind yourself you‘re attached to a body. Remind yourself you can experience the world around you.
For instance, splash your face with cold water, multiple times. If you‘re cold, let warm water run over your wrists, it warms you up quick.
Put yourself out there in the (chilly) wind and/or sun. Either open a window and stick your head out or - if you can get yourself to do that - really go outside for a walk. Could be a quick five minute stroll or an extensive one. Also helps clearing your head of any noise.
Reconnect with nature while you‘re at it. Just touch your environment. Do it. Touch the leaves you pass by, touch the tree branches, step into puddles, pick up flowers, blow a dandelion. If you have the opportunity, (if you‘re living near a farm or similar) pet animals.
Those things usually help me regain a bit of positivity or any (positive) feeling of being human at all.
Hope this helps, slumps suck, but there‘s better days ahead. After all flowers need rain to grow, no? 💐

i think it’s so easy to get caught in the throws of life that you start to lose yourself a bit. take up new hobbies, listen to the music you used to love, watch some comfort films. do things that remind you of a time when you remembered you. and if those things don’t fit anymore, find someone else. find the things that feel like home

& go for a walk outside, journal, clean my living spaces, find someone who will hug me without making me talk about it if I’m not ready, find someone else I can help in some way, play video games, watch beloved comfort movies, shower, do easy art (like cutting watercolor paper into bookmark-sized strips and just painting gradients on them), write poetry, sing along to moody music, let myself move slowly and not feel productive without judging myself
