I think so many people are so deeply alienated from themselves that they have no clue how to exercise their free will and autonomy. For some, this alienation runs so deep that they are afraid of their own autonomy and humanity. It is completely understandable why one would have those feelings, but it can be worrisome.
I want to help others who feel this way, so here are small things I have done to exercise my free will:
Add "guilty pleasure" songs to playlists and actually listen to them (I have a ton of late 1990s-early 2000s music I listen to now proudly that I never listened to in the past out of shame)
Getting the décor item, bath set, bed spread, ect. in the patterns you like, even if it's "childish" (I got a dinosaur-themed wastebasket from the kids' décor section and I adore it)
Taking a new route to get to a place you go to often
Eat dessert first
Celebrate well, and often
Collect things that are "odd" or don't seem like an "acceptable" thing to collect (somebody on my "for you" page collects dandelion crayola crayons and it was so cool!!!!!!)
Incorporate one new piece in an outfit you wear frequently (e.g., a new chain, a necklace, ribbons, bracelets, ect.). Challenge yourself to add onto the outfits if you feel up for it.
Sing along to songs without worrying that you sound "good" or your intonation is completely accurate
Read a book from a genre you weren't allowed to read as a kid (comics, thrillers, mysteries, anything!)
Walk without having a specific destination or goal
Pick up a new craft without expecting yourself to master it or to ever be "good" enough. Get your hands messy.
I don't want to shame anybody for not feeling as though they have free will or that they are exempt from exercising it. However, I wanted to give ideas so that you might read this list and find your own ways to express your intrinsic autonomy and will. You deserve to be a person, to feel alive, not just living. That is what our lives are for.

obsessed with the way that Lisa Frankenstein answers the question of “how will Lisa overcome her trauma” not with “by putting her morbid tendencies aside and rejoining society as a normal girl” but having her relive it as the perpetrator instead and being rewarded with a messy codependent husband

don’t see enough posts on here normalizing having good relationships with your parents. not everyone does but those who do shouldn’t feel bad about it.
anyway shout out to my parents for wanting to go to a concert with me and my sister last night and singing louder than all of the 20 year old girls around us. fucking goated as hell i had a blast.

[Baldur's Gate 3 spoilers]
My Dark Urge playthrough has been with Sam, paladin of vengeance, and it's turned into one of the best RPG experiences I've had in a very long time.

"Relish the good stuff."
Life can be hard. There's no denying that. It feels like it may be even more so this year for many.
So, maybe it's more important than ever to give your mind and emotions a break by relishing something that's good... may be a little success at work today, the taste of that Christmas treat, the smell of pine needles, your favourite music, the fresh air on a walk, stroking a pet, the hug of a loved one.
I painted this art for a lovely customer whose mother used to take her to play on this little beach in Caergybi (Holyhead) on Ynys Môn (Anglesey) when she was a child. It was their something good to relish, and the daughter asked me to paint it as a gift for her mother earlier this year.
It's available printed (without the text) on all sorts of nice stuff at:

need to kiss him until we’re both silly and delirious and giggling, until we’re both grabbing at each other’s shoulders and sides and arms, until we’re both half hazardously stumbling our way backwards onto the couch in a heap of laughter just so we can be as close as possible and we’re clumsily bumping foreheads and noses. need to kiss him until he can’t stop smiling and until we’re both stupidly lovestruck and just clinging to each other
