What activities make you feel good about yourself

Oakling

Like many, I often struggle to manage my mental health, self-esteem and negative thoughts towards myself. However, I do have a few activities that I enjoy that just help to reframe things and make me feel positive about myself.

What activities do you enjoy that have a positive effect on your outlook?

I just started exercise again after a 3 month break and it feels wonderful. I also picked up woodworking again after a similar break and have just completed making a new workbench. It’s not brilliant, but it’s mine and I’m proud of it.

    Thank you. It feels nice to be productive again. To focus on something purely for me. I enjoy doing things for others, but don’t often find the time for myself, so it feels good. It’s definitely a discipline.

    Ah that’s great. It must be nice to make something exactly the way you want it. I enjoy decorating occasionally too.
