I'm in a bit of a wretchedly existential mood, what little things help you when you feel like you're floating off into an uncaring universe of numbers and eyes and expectations?

If I've been moving & doing stuff recently, becoming still (and a little bored - watching clouds or a tree or closing my eyes, not scrolling or reading). If I've mostly been motionless recently (including office work), moving (go for a little walk, fold laundry, wash dishes).
go on wikipedia or whatever and find out about something oddly specific, maybe? like biology. you got unanswered questions about bugs or plants or human cells or some shit? now's a good time for that
going outside and looking really closely at plants, sometimes you'll find one heavy with aphids that blended in completely until they didnt and you'll go wow!
I remember that in the grand calculus of humanity's story, there is no variable that is redundant or unnecessary...and that even the smallest hope burns with radical light.
Tactile projects. Gardening, cooking, working out. Or I guess if I can help someone. My brain freely overrides all the system resources it's putting into feeling scared if it can put any of those resources into helping somebody instead.
