Crowdsourcing My Self-Care

[lunabee34]

I need some calm and peace and comfort and strength and love and light in my life.

To that end, I would appreciate it if you would tell me about your religious, spiritual, mystical, and/or secular practices, rituals, or behaviors that give you the aforementioned.

Note: I would be delighted with lateral discussion; as a teacher, it is always my goal LOL. However, I will not tolerate any negative comments about peoples' beliefs and practices in this post (which I know is an unnecessary disclaimer as you all are the loveliest people who would never dream of being that kind of jackass).

Thank you for these suggestions; they're really helpful.

I already have some coloring books; I do those from time to time, and I should pull them out more.

I think knowing how to knit or do some other craft would be a very soothing way to pass the time; I'll have to think about what I might like to learn.

At my public library every month we have a "Sewcial" (hate that name) for fiber crafts. Our universal recommendation for people who want to learn is YouTube! I am bi-fibrous--i.e., I knit and crochet, but not very well for either but for reasons I don't understand most people either knit OR crochet. I sort of prefer crocheting because you're not bound by the size limitations of the knitting needles and you're in less trouble if you drop the thing because it makes less of a mess to fix.

I hadn't thought about it before but you're right. Most people seem to do one or the other. I love bifibrous. Lol
