Counted cross stitch while blasting whatever song I am currently listening to on repeat. And a calming tablet.

I needle felt, paint, play cosy games, bake, scrapbook, write letters, tidy, talk, go a walk, watch relaxing videos. The worst thing i can do is just sit there, i need distraction

I write; in months when the daylight is stronger & longer I embroider; in darker months I knit and crochet. I have a handwritten daily journal but I also journal electronically when I need to have a longer vent. I swim and I go to the gym to weightlift. I meditate. I cook food I love to eat. I stick to SM I have curated to my interests, and avoid ‘trending’ topics I’m grateful every time the news reminds of shit going on how lucky I am to live in a relatively stable part of the world It’s tough
