Hobbies

I like those hobbies that are meant to naturally increase dopamine levels.

Incremental, detail focussed manual tasks do it for me.....When I go fishing I love to untangle the fishing line really slowly and patiently.

Yesterday, I had to untangle a really fine gold chain on a locket for my daughter:

That totally calms my head down and gives me focus:

Mind you, I'm ADHD, so maybe that doesn't suit everyone.

Not that you can make a hobby out of this, unless you take up watch making.

I also think long sessions of intense aerobic exercise are good.

Try downhill mountain biking listening to music.

Mind you - Bear in mind these are solitary activities and we benefit from the company of others, even though we find socilaising difficiult.

Key is to hook up with a like minded friend with a common interest.

Good luck
