You may find yourself enjoying practicing drawing or painting. Another thing is taking a breath work class or classes. Also if you go to a game's shop you'll find people that paint miniatures and create things. It is very interesting to meet up with such people as they give me a sense of child like appreciation to just having fun.

Honestly, I come from a long line of artists but I can't draw a thing. I admire those who use art to relax.
Other things I like to do are decorating and redecorating my room, listening to audio books, and reading.
What about you guys?

Being a mom and a wife actually eases alot of my anxiety. I'm always busy with them and my doggie helps me with my anxiety.

When I've done all my mommy and wife duties I like doing yoga,poetry and painting.

I know anxiety is never going to go away ever it will always be there but the key is keeping busy.

I find designing and sewing very relaxing. I also write poems

thank you for the timely reminder that i need to find time in my day for strictly personal pleasure. i haven't had time for hobbies since the advent of my second parenting career in august, 2019. this morning i find i can scarcely remember the plethora of hobbies i had way back when i was a comfortable retiree.

collecting and playing musical instruments is the only hobby i've maintained since the children came to live with me. listening to music is entertaining, but too passive to qualify as a hobby for me.

life onboard our little ship of fools has stabilized far enough that perhaps it is time for me to start rebuilding my hobby repertoire. hobbies really do ease my anxiety levels considerably.

I like listening to soft music. It's very calming to me. I also took up cycling. Just riding and enjoying the nice scenery helps me.

I love cycling, too! I love the feeling I get when I ride down a hill without the need for peddling. I haven't been able to ride lately, though, because we moved and the neighborhood is a lot less interesting and a lot more flat. (There are also a lot more bugs)

I enjoy listening to music too because it is so relaxing. Especially when I listen to old music from the 1970s and 1980s. They bring back a lot of memories. Music is like a photo album in the mind because as I listen to it, I visualize the time I first heard the song, the people who I remember during the time. Also, I enjoy playing games on the computer such as solitare and puzzle games or enjoy reading books or going for walks.
