Walking outside..in the woods.. Long walks have always been my favourite thing to do.

And lots of things...listening to music..singing..cleaning around my house ..etc etc..

Hiking or walking on clear days that are on the cool side, dancing. Back in my weight training days, weight training not during, but shortly after.

When I was in a depression in my early 30s, one of the things that helped me was to walk up and down 16 flights of stairs in a building in my neighbourhood. On the top floor, I would pause for a while and enjoy not feeling depressed - I didn't feel happy, exactly, just not stressed.

Also, talking and emailing with good friends, doing things connected to my hobby (collecting 1:12 scale miniatures) and time with my cat.

Great list, and origami is very cool! Have you been doing that for a long time? My father used to so I have many good memories of watching him make things.

That's a beautiful flower! πŸ™‚

That's a great point about how there is always something that can be improved with origami, but there's something consistent about it too. It wouldn't surprise me if the people who have been doing it for years and are considered masters think of it that way.

Creativity works for me. I love making jewelry and going on drives or hikes and take photographs. Listening to music is really cool too. Driving is probably the most relaxing thing I do.

Listening to music, going for a long drive, reading, playing sudoku, dancing, yoga, sex and the occasional cigarette (I know, I know gross lol)

Scrolling the Dxp...

πŸ˜› jk

A good walk gets me going. Something off the beaten track, so it doesn't feel high intensity but the workout is hidden in the adventure 😎

If it leads to a view even better!

Walking long distances (music is a must), diablo, yoga and hula hoop.

Also, stripping bamboo with a knife is extremely therapeutic. I had to do it for a project once, I liked it so much I just started stripping loads of the stuff... like a crazy bamboo lady.
