This could be taking a walk, Googling free or cheap events in your area and attending them, visiting a local gallery or museum or even just finding a quiet spot at the library. Make an extra effort to get out the house, because once you are out the possibilities are endless.
2. Learn something new! - Try your hand at something new, sometimes that's all it takes to liven up your day. Why not take up a new hobby or learn a new skill?

Another option could be to channel your inner musician by learning a new instrument such as the guitar or piano. Take up a new online course, practice a few magic tricks or grab a pencil and paper and learn how to sketch; whatever you are interested in there's bound to be a variety of options available for you.
3. Meet new people!: Meeting new people can open new doors leading to excitement and adventure. Others may introduce you to new hobbies, interests and activities and give you the chance to make new friends along the way- different people have interesting stories and it can be nice to hear them and share some of your own!.
4. Make something interesting!:  Why not try crafting something and see if you're any good or just do it for the fun of it?! Pinterest can be used to quickly search for simple projects and thousands of results come up when you look up ideas using a search engine such as Bing or Google.
5. Travel to new places!:  A guaranteed gateway to meeting new faces, observing different cultures, discovering entertainment, trying out new tastes etc. You don't necessary have to go abroad to venture somewhere new, there's the option of roadtrips to different towns, or heading to the train station and jumping on a train to the cheapest new destination and seeing what happens. Although traveling somewhere new can seem frightening at first it can be refreshing and liberating, especially if you've been stuck in same place for a while.
