Use fans, ventilate your room - best if there are openings on top and bottom of the room to help air circulation. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting, cotton-based clothing - cotton tees, bermudas, take cool drinks, relax ..
Lastly, if practical and the weather is not too humid, you can hang a thoroughly wet blanket or some heavy wet, soggy material outside the door. The evaporation of the water will have a cooling 'aircon-like' effect. The guys in the desert do this a lot in the old days. You could also throw a pail of water periodically outside you doorway !! - provided you're not living on an upper level and there's no one living across your abode!

Taking a cool shower, not a hot shower always helps. A cool wet twisted towel around the neck also works.
Keep yourself hydrated by drinking lots of fluids, (preferably water)

Lie in a tub of cool - cold water, with ice near by, or spritz water on yourself while in front of a fan. I'm from South Texas, you come up with all kinds of stuff when you grow up without a/c down here!

Pour some cold water on yourself and run the fan on yourself. Try rubbing some ice too! Wear some clothes that have been in the fridge or wet them.

Your going to laugh but I used to do this when my baby was little. I'd blow a fan over a bowl of cold, icey water or place a wet cot sheet over the fan and allow the air to blow through it. It is almost as good as Aircon and cheaper too.

Opening the window always works here. Is cheaper as well. Remove as many clothes as possible eg just wear t-shirt & shorts, or skirt, at home with no underwear to trap heat.
