Knitting or crochet but where the pattern is very simple and easily becomes a reflex - think crochet granny squares or knitting a scarf in easy rib (just 2 rows to memorise: 3k 1p to end, next row 1k 1p; 3k 1p to end).
It's a wonderful way of emptying your thoughts.

Lifting heavy weight, long distance cycling.

That hobby I started of carving signature chops is really good for erasing anything bugging me because I have to focus on the chisel cutting through rock to actually get the output I'm looking for.
Rock doesn't care about your feelings. Chisels don't care about your feelings. You need to set them aside to work.

Taking a walk around the block helps me when I'm drowning. If it's not enough, I will call someone while I am halfway through the walk. This helps me to return with a different perspective.
I keep a notebook to scribe my unresolved fears and feelings into. It took me a year in therapy to feel safe enough to write down how I feel. I had been too scared that my mother would find the book and haunt me with everything in it.
I write down my goals onto loose college-ruled three hole punch paper.
I timestamp all of my written work (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM) because it feels loving and helpful to the future version of myself.

I hope to one day achieve this level of wisdom (sincere).

Sauna, if you can find a cheap one

Going to the gym helps for sure. Sad? Gym. Angry? Gym. And then hitting a PB because I channeled the feelings in to lifting as heavy as I can... Even better.

A way too long and way too hot uninterrupted shower.

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.
