I did a lot of coloring while I was recovering. Buy the biggest box of colored pencils or crayons you can find and Google "coloring pages for adults" or "mandalas to color free."
I also spent a lot of time walking outdoors (weather permitting).
Other ideas:
*take a bubble bath
*do your hair in some fancy way
*give yourself a manicure and/or pedicure
*download a guided relaxation podcast and listen to it
*fill a bird feeder in your backyard and watch it
*pet your dog or cat
*get sample perfume cards from stores and smell them to see how the fragrance notes change over time (got that one from Jane McGonigal of SuperBetter)
*practice meditation (podcasts available for this as well)
