Okay, here are my suggestions for the Dwarf Therapist challenge. Other people are free to add to the list and I'll compile everything and make a challenge for the guild. Keep in mind that you can always remove parts of the challenge from your tasks lists if you don't want to do them, so everyone can pick and choose the things that are most effective for them.
Habits:
-5 Min Exercise (any kind)
-Healthy Snack (nothing sugary, salty, or processed; fruit, vegetables, a fresh sandwich, a bowl of plain yogurt, etc.)
-Creative Work (to be awarded every time you spend time doing something creative, be it drawing, painting, writing, building something, designing something, etc.)
-Tend a Plant (if you have a garden, great -- I live in a 20 sq m / 215 sq ft apartment on the 2nd floor of my building and I have a few flower pots on the window sill growing whatever I can get to grow, including old onions that have started to sprout, catnip plants, and lentils)
-Resist an Unhealthy Craving (depressed people tend to crave sugar, chocolate, and often feel the desire for alcohol or other drugs; this isn't about quitting anything cold turkey, just something to award for each time you recognize that the thing you want is bad for you and choose something else instead)
-Put Away Clothes Properly (whenever you change clothes or do laundry, this is awarded for folding/hanging clean items and storing them properly, putting dirty ones in the washer or hamper, rather than leaving dirty clothes on the floor or leaving dried laundry on the rack for days on end)
-Learn Something New (can apply to Duolingo lessons, FreeRice vocabulary/geography/etc. practice, reading non-fiction, watching educational YouTube videos, or any other focused attempt to learn something)
-Overcome a Rut (manage to get up when all you want to do is lie there doing nothing, putting on music instead of sitting in silence, watching a funny video and making yourself laugh when you feel down, etc.)
-Random Act of Kindness (do something nice for another person, regardless of whether they deserve it)
Dailies:
-Write a Good Things List (a list of good things, accomplishments, and any other positive experiences from the day; no negativity allowed; can be on paper, on a blog, wherever you want)
-Exercise (no minimum on this, just get some exercise each day, whether it's a walk, jumping rope, doing pushups, dancing, whatever you're able to do that gets your heart rate up for a while)
-Make Your Bed (simple, easy to accomplish, good way to start the day)
-Get Dressed (no lying around in pajamas all day; put some proper clothes on, even if it's only to take the garbage out)
-Vacuum/Clean Bathroom/Do Laundry/Etc. (one entry for each household chore, to be chosen by each individual and set for one or two particular days of the week, ie I have "vacuum" for Wednesday and Saturday and "Clean Bathroom" for Saturday; this is to remove the constant feeling of "I'll do it tomorrow" by having a set day on which it will be done, creating a routine)
I'll also link to one or two lists of suggestions for upbeat music, videos, games, activities, etc. which can be used to help. Feel free to make additional suggestions here, and we'll compile them all for one big challenge.
The exercise challenge should also be coming out today.
