I clean, a lot. I scrub the bathrooms in my house, the kitchen sink till it gleams, the floors, wipe dust every single place i find it, vacuum, vacuum some more, and on and on until im exhausted...this may sound kind of silly but physical activity causes endorphins which make you feel better. Staying active combats depression. Allah swt gave us the bodies we have to use them.
As for an islamic perspective, I perform Wudu and read the Kuran or I read some other Islamic material. I love love loooooove to read stories about the prophets, their wives, and other important people in Islam. Their stories make my problems seem so small I laugh at myself
