Does reparing my boyfriends' dreads count? 
You have to crochet hair in some way
Dance and music 💓
@VickyP Singing, listening to rain sounds, walking & sketching. :)
@VickyP Sewing, hand embroidery, draw
Drawing really helps me to overcome anxiety. Also music is really helpful. In general, music has a great power as it can change my mood, make my day or help to relax. If I'm depressed when I get up in the morning, I just listen to Online Radio Box (I was lucky to find it on https://streamingsites.com/radio-streaming-sites/), and usually I feel better.
Spiritual listening.. and exercise
Put my worries aside and got back on Gus yesterday- he is a gorgeous TWH gelding - forgot what a good horse he can be - as long as I ride him where he can see his buddies ( and put his head down and graze the longer grass!)
@VickyP Singing, walking, sketching, photography & reading.
@Yougotmyback
Those sound so creative and calming! It's great to hear that you have found something that lessens your anxiety. 🌸
@VickyP Thank you so much. 🎈
Few of them have helped some people who used to self harm. Like walking & sketching. I have had few friends & they tried them too. It's like putting your energy into something positive & something that doesn't harm you. :)
@Yougotmyback
I can see how they can be really good distractions! Putting our energy into doing something else that we enjoy can really take our mind off things.
@VickyP
The most main thing that I do is to listen to Music. I love music so much. I listen to it every time.
Mediation also can really help so in the morning I try 10 minutes of meditation too. It really helps me to concentrate more and to become more realistic and friendly...
These were the things/exercises I use to practice every day...
@SuryanshSingh
Music can be so refreshing and fun, and meditation is a great idea when need to feel calm! I'm glad you have found a hobby that is so good for your anxiety. 😃 What is your favorite song?
@VickyP
Thank You So Much...
I hear both Hindi Songs and English.
Faded, On My Way, Closer by Chainsmokers are some English ones...
Zara zara behekta h, aankon me tera hi chehra, lashkare are some Hindi ones...
But there are millions more in both Hindi and English which give relief to my heart...
Thanks...
i kinda like to lie down on my floor and listen to music
@deedee72
Lying down and listening to music sounds very relaxing and comforting! Good to hear you have found something that is good for your anxiety.
