Play guitar. Ride a horse. Ride a motorcycle. Play frisbee with my dog. Read a book.
Like the other reply, the little things are big things.
I hope you can feel better, friend.

I sit still and try to feel the sadness as directly as possible, without any distractions at all.
Rewatching Parks & Rec episodes always cheers me up.
I do something creative that lets a little secret part of me out. Those things I feel guilty enjoying (because I feel like I'm not good enough at them to do it, like singing or painting). It's like a little special indulgence that also reminds me that I'm pretty cool.
What's your secret hobby?
hmm... maybe I need to find a secret hobby of my own. most of my free time is spent just kinda staring off bored.
Take a nap
Shopping, alcohol, gambling, drugs. None of those is my answer.
I just remember that everything is going to die with the heat death of the universe and I feel at peace.
A walk, copius amounts of alcohol (will postpone not solve), a joint with a favourite movie/tv show and a tall glass of choccy milk.

It's just better to get used to a baseline level of misery than relying on happiness to get yourself out of a funk.
That said, turn the fucking devices off, get a big fucking cup of herbal tea, and look at the natures for 30 minutes. You are not allowed to press the buttons on the misery-skinner-box until tea is gone and timer is up.
Caffeine, and spend money.
You gotta start it with a positive jam!
Gummy bears.
Waste time on the internet, maybe modding or other nerdy projects
Lists, strong emotive music, niche interest rabbit holes (preferably new) and awful people (It's always Sunny)... I also clean if I'm able, short bursts usually.
Say "bubbles" in the deepest voice you possibly can. It always make me chuckle when in a funk.
Just wait until you watched a certain little Britain sketch. "Bubbles" will be forever etched into your mind.
I quit looking at ALL news sites. And sleep. If I do this for a few days I feel so much better. Other healthy habits help too.
Singing to your favorite songs
Mjuzik
I listen to some Rick Astley.
He's never going to let you down.
He's never messed around and hurt me.
Listen to music.
Seriously, two things on the internet can help me laugh uncontrollably.
Reading Garfield Minus Garfield. It's hilarious when you just imagine that Jon is simply completely neurotic.
Or, whatever hilarious "autocorrect" disaster screenshots will do the trick also.
Take a nice shower,get to yoga class even on the days I don't feel like it, treating myself to a nice book or random thing I want, talking to my therapist and letting it all out.
If you have a dog, wrap them in toilet paper. Ok it's not the best idea in the world but it's really fucking funny.
We're all just feeding answers to the AI overlords.
Go goth and embrace the mood. Nothing wrong with being sad sometimes.

Its all about the hopefull and uplifting music, put it on and go for a walk, tell your family you love them, then appologize to someone you feel you let down. Cry, it only means you care. After, eat a nice home cooked meal and re-watch Loki or Guardians of the Galaxy.
Thats what I like!
I usually eat, drink, and watch Youtube until I'm tired and it makes things worse. Instead, play loud music and do chores, then exercise, then do something productive that you enjoy
I'm doing it right now.
