Couple of ideas, not necessarily ordered by importance.

- Going into nature (walking, running, hiking, etc.).

- Corollary to (1), have a form of activity, maybe throw some Yoga in the mix.

- Interpersonal relationships (it's more difficult in these times but I believe necessary).

- Mindfulness exercises (a form of meditation).

- Sometimes doing absolutely nothing is nice / contemplation.

- Maintaining a healthy diet.

- Consistent sleep schedule (and healthy habits/routine in general).

- Relaxation, which includes sauna but also breathing exercises for example (see Wim Hof breathing method / connected breathing), massages.

- Work on your passion if you have one.

- Is maybe going to be a bit controversial, note that I am not advocating for illegal drug use (should they be illegal in your area): using psychedelics (both in microdose/macrodose format) shows very promising results with regards to regulating mood (especially for those suffering with med-resistant depression) and re-connecting with one-self/others (especially with higher doses). I recommend reading "How to Change Your Mind" from Michael Pollan as an introduction, but there are also pretty good videos on Youtube.
