1. Wink at your crush.
2. Like a picture of a dog on Instagram.
3. Text "Cool!" or "Great!" instead of "k."
4. Pluck that chin hair you always stroke thoughtfully throughout the day (don't worry, a new one will come along).
5. Do a good stretch.
6. Fart surreptitiously.
7. Flip your pillow to the cold side.

8. Take a deep breath (you'll only have time to inhale, exhale on your own time).
9. Look up from your phone.
10. Give yourself a hug.
11. Or a high-five.
12. Or BOTH AT THE SAME TIME.
13. Squeeze an avocado to make sure it's perfectly ripe.
14. Smell a book.
15. Do finger guns.
16. Take a one-second nap (known in some circles as "blinking").
