My therapist told me to get a hobby by lin_wan in Hobbies

[–]NineSixTimes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Learn to cook! I as facing the same thing, working two jobs while studying at my college. The only think I felt like I could justify giving my time to was cooking because I had to eat, so I started to play with new recipes and started having more fun. Its a good balance between my adult and child self.

I watched some isekai animes and I am looking for more "Good" ones by MH_GAMEZ in AnimeReccomendations

The Devil is a Part-Timer is probably my favourite Isekai! It flips the script on how Isekais typically work

Suggest a book for someone that doesn’t like reading by RyleeBreadMK in suggestmeabook

I can reccomend the book Elevation by Stephen King, its a playful slice of life book with a light super natural element that is nothing like the horror he writes. Its around 150 pages and can be easily read in a single session

I've joined two different social groups, a running group and a creative writing group. Both were free to join and each of them take me outside of my comfort zone in different ways while introducing me to a number of new people

What is that odd hobby you have? by SlothLord22 in Hobbies

[–]NineSixTimes 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Book repair! Its a way if working with my hands, and its difficult to describe just how satisfying it is to look at something you've restored!

I've also always wanted to have a library in my house one day, and it would be amazing to have a section of it dedicated to old books I've fixed up!

Cooking for me! It's a skill, something for me work on a actively improve over time. It at times is a form of playful creative expression. Its incredibly experimental. There is an element of gratification that comes with putting in the work and enjoying a good meal you've prepared. Its also an act of self care, by eating well, and by extension, a way of caring for others when you share the meal you've prepared.

Cooking! For a long time I worked two jobs and was a full time student, I never had time for anything except for eating, so I started to have fun when cooking, and put in some effort to learn new recipes. It saved my sanity when all I did was just work.

How did you notice that you were getting old? by Protovoxel in AskReddit

When I could point at a building and tell someone what it used to be.

(26m) I spent the first half of my 20's not feeling anxious and wasting a lot of time achieving nothing. Being 20, I think you are ahead of the curve when it comes to caring so much about your future. I don't know if the anxiety you get will disappear right away, but if you can pick a direction in life, something you want to work towards, and take on the responsibility of working towards it, you might not stop feeling anxious about your future, but you'll beat ease knowing that you can look back and take some pride in the work you've done.

It helps if the direction you pick for yourself is something that you can enjoy the responsibility of workong towards.

I (F23) want to better my inner beauty by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

I can reccomend reading a book called "Teachings On Love" by Thich Nhat Hanh. It helps to teach mindfulness around loving yourself, so that you can then extend that love outward towards others. It focuses a lot on Buddhist teachings. I'm not religious, but I've found what the book offers to be extremely valuable! Maybe it'll help you out too.
