Hobbies

[Bookoffee]

My wife and I have been thinking of hobbies I can do to occupy my mind when it becomes to overwhelming, too intense to think.

So far our list consist of:

1. Letterboxing.
2. Art therapy
3. She is teaching me to sew
4. Reading

What are some of your hobbies/ stress relief activities?

Painting

Did you paint your profile picture?

Petting my cat

I didn't think of my pets! They help a lot.

Jigsaw puzzles, art journaling, and video games are high on my list.

I won a jigsaw puzzle that is from my favorite artist, M.C. Esher. What is art journaling?
The last time I played video games I think it was on a Genesis and it was about a hedgehog, Sonic I think.

@Bookoffee I did paint it, thanks for noticing. :)

@littlelostchild I really like. Do you mind sharing the story behind it and why you chose to use it?

playing with Dogs, training my Service Dog in Training new tasks

I would like to have a service dog. I am not sure how to go about to get one for PTSD.

researching topics online

Maybe this is a great place to start. Do you research mostly one topic or many?

Painting/drawing/doodling
Crochet
Photography (bit of love/hate on/off thing with that though)
Walking
Playing with the dog. A bit more than a hobby really. I foster for a local rescue, but it's been really helpful for keeping me occupied.
