What do you find therapeutic?

I listen to music and tinker about the apartment, do versions of Solitaire on the computer or scroll through TikTok. The last one also keeps me up at night so I try to limit that one.

I find playing in the pool at my local Y very therapeutic. I feel like a mermaid when I’m in the water. Unfortunately my right foot and ankle are healing from tendonitis, and I haven’t been able to enjoy the pool for about two weeks.

Spending time with people (friends and family) I love and adore and respect.

Especially with my partner. Spending quality time together with people I care about always gives me peaceful feelings and enriches my life and theirs.

Bubble baths with dim lighting, maybe a few candles, and some music in the background. I lock myself in the bathroom and everyone knows not to knock on the door while I'm in the bathtub.

This is short-term therapy; it won't solve anything, but it does make me feel better for awhile.

Music to suit my mood is very therapeutic for me.

Time spent with people I’ve known over the past ten years or so. Some person, from my recent past, dropped by to say “hello” and catch me up on their own life’s events and such good feelings filled my day after spending time with them.

Reading Private Messages that you had not expected I find very therapeutic as it is unexpected and therefore relaxes my mind as opposed to expected and daily messaging.
