I try to make my bed each day after I get up. So at the end of the day, even if I never left the house I know I've completed at least one task. I build on from that. Maybe going out for a quick walk out of my balcony and having tea. Whatever feels comfortable.

After you wake up from bed you can chant your prayer or self motivational quotes. Then exercise and meditation.. Eat fruits and healthy veggies for breakfast. Spend time with friends and families or you can resume to your hobbies and do things that interests you or makes you feel better. Go for a walk in the evening, it feels pleasant. Or you can visit nearest park and just relax yourself there. Don't use electronic devices an hour before going to bed.

Incorporating some exercise into the daily routine can reduce, depressive symptoms as exercise causes the release of endorphins, feel-good hormones, which account for the phenomenon known as runners high.

Do things you enjoy or will distract you from depression, try out new things as well, like meditation and going on short walks. I know it sounds cliche, but changing diet and exercising more can improve your mood, it wont cure you but it could help

Getting into a habit of recognizing when taking care of your needs makes you feel better.
Ex; taking time for yourself if you find you get social burn out, noticing if you have more energy after a meal/rest, noticing little things you are grateful for. Intentionally listening to your mind and body can help you to make decisions that are best for your wellness when depression is present.
To feel your best it/s a continuous effort to meet physiological, safety, and belonging/connection needs. You owe yourself care, and you also owe yourself forgiveness and grace if you struggle to keep up with your needs.
