Books you enjoy. Read them in the sunshine, in a hammock if possible. If you don't own a hammock, and the ground is soft, sit on the ground with book in hands. Comfortable? Remove shoes and if you like coffee get a big one. A red eye maybe? Those are pretty good, not for everyone, so maybe a latte's better. Then you sit and you read and you read because you love it and you love it because you're finally accepting who you are (ie, a person who now sits outdoors reading (ha!) in a hammock or on the ground if it's comfortable, sans shoes, and drinking a large cup of coffee). You do this once and then again, maybe many times. Why? Because it has become a thing you do for yourself, the first of many things you will do only for your own enjoyment. Life is so good now and then, suddenly! There are balloons. What a cool world to be alive in.

Remember that you actually need to read some of them though, not just stare at them on your shelf after listening to a youtuber summarise it. I’d give a specific rec of Leaves of Grass by Whitman as well. Also, much literature that elevates ones spirit helps to bloom, for me that book was Moby-Dick but I think it will vary from person to person.
