Bored

I love doing puzzles! I can feel like im doing something while vegging in front of the tv. And it keeps my mind focused

I keep a running list on Google Tasks of all the stuff that sounds awesome but I don't think I'll ever get to. Then just pick one. It doesn't have to be the right one. Even if it ends up being the wrong thing for me today, I chose something and tried. Some examples from my current list are: repair that old camping gear, research a place to get accupuncture, learn a CAD surface modeling program, brainstorm 10 moments in the past when i felt joyous, find a support group for my particular health condition, learn how to use my sinus wash thing that i never used, read about the Enneagram, do a homework assignment from a class that i finished but never did that assignment, call that friend that i haven't talked to since before covid. I have this list and I just add to it when I remember stuff. It's always going to get longer, never going to get shorter.

I feel this way often. And I think it goes away once you get started on something anything, could be a chore you’ve put off, or walk (fresh air and nature are always a good idea). Some of the things I do to engage the mind are: - Online sudoku puzzles - coloring - tending to plants/ repotting ones that need it - reading - guided meditation - call a friend / family - some organizing task that contributes to my space feeling clearer

This may sound cliché, but recently I’ve taken up knitting, lol. Don’t knock it til you try it!

Taking my dog for a walk helps me a lot. If you don’t have a dog go for a walk :). I just started going back to the gym and that helped me more than I thought it would
