Gardening
Being able to grow your own food for free is just the craziest concept. I also have some doomsday prepper DNA in me and gardening satisfies that need for self-sufficiency lmao. My girlfriend’s mom told me recently that plants have survival instincts too, so when you grow your own fruits and vegetables, they try to adapt to what you like so you’re less likely to get rid of them. So also that’s why food you grow yourself tastes so much better.

Gardening
Putting your fingers in the dirt produces serotonin, and eating things I grow myself makes me feel less guilty about my carbon footprint. it’s exercise, meditation, prayer and therapy all in one.

having a garden
I think It's the sweetest thing ever when someone puts a lot of effort into making and keeping a garden. Hope to grow one of my own someday 🌱

cooking and plants
I think people with plants are happier than the rest of us. Grow something to eat and combine it with a cooking or baking hobby! Baking is good because you have to share it with people unless you can eat a whole cake by yourself before it gets stale.

Using games as meditation
When I was younger I used to be able to spend HOURS playing random internet games, like I would just get lost in them and not think about anything else outside of the game. That’s probably not the best way to spend your time when you’re a kid, but as an adult I’ve realized it’s kind of a way to meditate. It’s an opportunity to be present and take a break from thinking about anything, and it’s so easy to get lost in it.

Strudel.REPL
This one’s for my live coders out there ♡ I’ve been learning how to work in a new live coding environment called Strudel. It’s special because it’s web-based and has some cool integrations, and personally I also like it because its notation lends itself really well to unexpected outcomes.

Hobbies
I think in general it’s extremely important that everyone has a hobby, or at least something fun to do outside of work. Artists I’m talking to you too, because if your job is music or visual art, I think you should have something totally unrelated to that to do in your free time. For example, I've been working on a painting for my brother’s boss in my free time, and I’ve also been knitting a scarf! It doesn’t have to be anything crazy and definitely not profitable, but it really helps with separating work time from free time.
