For me, what came to mind was going to the library and checking out as many books as I want to read and relax with. 📚
Ooh I do that!!! Especially with kids’ books lol
@jesusredeemedme2425
Same! I like seeing if any copies of my favorite childhood series are available. 😄
Ooh like what??? <3

The Rainbow Magic series by Daisy Meadows. I discovered it when I was about six years old (in my mid 20s now), and it’s still going! I was really into it when I was in elementary. The series turned into a cash cow franchise ages ago, but I’m willing to overlook that for any particular books that interest me.
Never heard of it! What is it? <3

It’s a series about two young girls who become best friends and meet fairies together. The original arc was The Rainbow Fairies, which involved the girls, Rachel and Kirsty, meeting each other and the aforementioned Rainbow Fairies. The Rainbow Fairies were thrown into the human world by Jack Frost (also a fairy, but more malevolent), so Rachel and Kirsty help them get back to Fairyland. After the success of The Rainbow Fairies, the author came up with more fairies for Rachel and Kirsty to go on adventures with and help out, with Jack Frost always being the source of trouble. It’s a wholesome read well-suited for about 3rd-grade level, and I really love the illustrations (examples below).

Awww that looks cute <3
Pretend you’re a blob and ponder about deep psychological questions and also fall asleep while doing that cause it’s quite boring
So basically, what I do every day? ;)
@jesusredeemedme2425 I like to go to the dollar store or thrift store and buy sensory toys or a notebook for journaling on occasion when I'm feeling down. Recently, my gym put in a free toy machine for little stress balls and animal erasers.

My brother currently has one of my stress balls at work. Recently, my gym put in a free toy machine for squishy stress animals and animal erasers.
