Project Level 1: Beginner

This project is designed for beginner learners who are still learning and practicing Python fundamentals.

Project Description

Write a program that gently suggests self-care activities for the day. The program randomly selects an activity from a predefined list of calming, relaxing actions to promote mental well-being.

self_care_activities = [
    "Take a short walk in nature. 🌿",
    "Drink a big glass of water. 💧",
    "Do some deep breathing for 5 minutes. 🧘‍♂️",
    "Listen to your favorite music. 🎵",
    "Write down three things you're grateful for. ✨",
    "Read a chapter from a book you love. 📚",
    "Stretch your body gently. 🤸‍♀️",
    "Spend a few minutes with a pet or a loved one. 🐾",
    "Watch the sunset or sunrise. 🌅"
]

How the Program Works

Any time you run the program, it generates a self-care suggestion you can do at some point in your day. For example:

If you run it again, it will randomly select another self-care activity from a list of pre-defined activities.

And here is another run:

To help you get started, you can use the following list of activities:

self_care_activities = [
    "Take a short walk in nature. 🌿",
    "Drink a big glass of water. 💧",
    "Do some deep breathing for 5 minutes. 🧘‍♂️",
    "Listen to your favorite music. 🎵",
    "Write down three things you're grateful for. ✨",
    "Read a chapter from a book you love. 📚",
    "Stretch your body gently. 🤸‍♀️",
    "Spend a few minutes with a pet or a loved one. 🐾",
    "Watch the sunset or sunrise. 🌅"
]
