Mindfulness and Breathwork! Mindfulness is an incredibly valuable practice that can be a game changer for mental health and anxiety. Breathwork goes a long way as a fundamental technique.
There are a variety of free tier apps like InsightTimer that have beginner courses in meditation. Working to create space in your life between things like work and family give you breathing room. Starting to live in the moment allows you to step out of the anxiety of the past and worry of the future.
Slรถjd-style carving. You can really do a lot with just a few simple tools, a knife, an axe and a saw.
Morakniv has an excellent series of different knife-grips/cuts on their youtubechannel here
The thing I like most about it is since you are just carving with a knife, you get big shavings of wood that you can easily sweep up, instead of wooddust all over the place.
Photography. It gets you out and about, you move, do exercise, discover interesting places and people, and when you get good at it, they make for great decoration/art/gifts.
Juggling is fun and makes you really great at throwing things (but only mildly better at catching them hehe) ๐
