When I feel low or unmotivated, I solve Rubik’s Cube using different algorithms until I master the algorithms. I repeat it until I am satisfied with my speed of solving it. Very boring but somewhat very effective in my case.
I turn on my smart tv(without thinking about its surveillance capabilities), crank up my sound bar, and watch videos of live music I love, which usually turns out to be early 70s Grateful Dead concerts.

Is there an algorithm that you can recommend for a beginner? Something that is easy to explain and remember, but doesn't have to be fast.
Not OP, but this looks like the way I learned it.
Thanks for the advice but definitely that doesn’t work for me. 😞
Find easier problems to solve to remind myself what victory feels like.
That’s one of the best advices I’ve ever heard. I’m going to try that.

Step 1: step away from the laptop
Step 2: Pretty much anything. See if you can get you face into the sun.
Sometimes that's when I make myself do something I've been avoiding.
If you have an easy item on your to-do list that you've been putting off, knocking out a task can relieve some of that psychological pressure.
I think that’s a good idea.
Go do something you love or listen to something inspiring
Many options:
Soon you will feel better, sometimes you will feel like a locomotive... unstoppable
Get on the indoor bike and join a race or training session with Zwift. Clears my mind. Gets me back on track.
I go play 5-9 holes of golf.
Gets you outside and among nature, you walk 5-10km and sometimes after a hole, you feel you could still make the PGA tour 😆
Take a break from whatever possible and refocus on the important things like family and health.
Listen to music
Drink Coffee
Listen to music
Make a list of goals you want to accomplish
Make a list of things holding you back.
Drink another Coffee
Listen to more music
Get to work
