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

  • Just one of my hobbies,restoring old tools,  I replace handles, clean file and polish rusty steel, varnish wood, repair broken parts.

    I like to try and improve as well.

    The tools are seen as no longer viable by most?

    They all function, 

    I am a practical person, hands on type, I understand metals, the science in making the steel to suit each use.

    the care that went into making them.
