well, you payed 5 sat/byte whilst you should have payed > 13 sat/byte.

If you know the receiver (or if you received change), you could do a CPFP... Otherwise you can wait, the transaction will probably confirm sooner or later (or after 14 days, it'll get pruned from most mempools of most nodes).
Or, you can pay a fee directly to a big, known mining pool to include your transaction into the block they are currently solving... Viabtc is one of those trusted pools that does this (they do it for free for tx's with a fee of >10 sat/vbyte, but yours doesn't qualify i'm afraid).

To bad you didn't opt-in RBF, next time this might be a thing to remember aswell... If you would have opted in rbf, you would have been able to bump the fee.

Here's a walktrough i wrote a long time ago on how to do a cpfp with electrum: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5285192.0

Use a reputed wallet next time for bitcoin transaction. One of the features of a reputable wallet is to have replace-by-fee. You can use Electrum (https://electrum.org/#home). Electrum wallet have replace-by-fee by default, you would have just pumped the fee if you use such wallet.

If you want to download the wallet, make sure you verify its signature (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5240594.msg54223763#msg54223763)

I will advice you to wait until weekend (Saturday or mostly probably on Sunday) if you can, the transactions would probably be confirmed as the mempool is mostly less congested on weekends. It can also probably be confirmed before weekend. Just wait if you can.

If you can not wait, you will need to use child-pay-for-parent

Also in case of next time and you want your transaction to get confirmed with best possible low possible fee to get your transaction confirmed, you can use the sites below to check the fee:

As stated by mocacinno, if you have control over any of receiving addresses, you can use CPFP method.
This means that you should spent the fund received in the unconfirmed transaction with a high fee, so a miner include both transactions (the unconfirmed one and the one you make to do CPFP) in a single block.

In both transactions, 1F8eovMT....... is the change address.
If you own this address, note that it includes 36 UTXOs. So, you should pay attention that not every transaction made from this address with a high fee will help you.
If you want to do CPFP, you should spend the UTXO that has been received in the unconfirmed transaction. To do so, you need a wallet with coin control feature.

The mempool become less congested recently.

The transactions has been confirmed. Use a reputable wallet like Electrum which you can use replace-by-fee (RBF) in case of anytime you want to pump fee to increase the chance of a miner to include your transaction into a block early.

You can as well learn more about CPFP. But know that if you are not intending to make another transaction, using CPFP will cost you more transaction fee than just using RBF for pumping the fee.
