so, what would you recommend?
That solely depends on your attitude and your plans regarding this crypto-platform.
Some alternatives:
1) Get more NXTs by buying them or earning them to start forging on your own.
2) If you do not care about the forged fees (you might actually contribute them for charity), then you could consider leasing them to this pool:

Problem with 2): leasing costs you 1 NXT right now (fee for the lease transaction).
Good thing about 3): forging with such low balance equals just running a node. That supports the network. +1
