Taking a shower and letting the air circulate in the home will increase the moisture content in the air, thus raising the relative humidity. Note that the other options will decrease the relative humidity: lowering the temperature can cause the moisture in the air to condense on cold surfaces, increasing the thermostat setting will make the air warmer and drier, and sealing the house against drafts will prevent moisture from entering the home.
