    Hobbies that create a physical result at the end. 3D printing, building electronics / furniture, baking and more. When I have an end result at get to think; I made this.

      Man, I love to bake when I need to slow down. It’s such a methodological process. It’s good for my brain.

      And when I’m feeling squirrelly? Cooking. A hot pan can take a lot of abuse, and it can be fast and exciting.

      I’m with you though — something physical. Something to appreciate. Another recent example for me is building out WLED projects, which marries tech with the physical world.

      I feel the same way. I love things I’ve made myself. Then I look at my son and think “Ugh… I made that.” JK of course. My son is awesome.

    Crochet. I love making things for people I love. Currently working on an enormous winter blanket. I used to make chain mail, which was fun, but just wrecked my hands. Crochet is very similar but way easier.

    Meditation. It’s weird to say it “out loud” because I tend to obsess about other hobbies a lot… to the point you’d think they mean the world to me. But actual joy, without that underlying doubt/pain that comes with most life stuff? Definitely sitting down, calming down, letting go, blissing out. Don’t get me wrong, I have no plans of giving up playing music with my buddies, watching movies with my family, etc!

    3D printers. I enjoy tinkering and fine tuning hardware,firmware, and software. There’s somthing lethargic about taking things apart, maintenance, improvements and troubleshooting that I find very cathartic. The final results in the ability to print whatever I want.

    Maybe just tinkering in general tbh lol. If somthings broken, I always see if I can figure out why and potentially fix it or/and improve it. No better feeling than bringing life back to something thats considered dead.
