What do you do to keep yourself busy? According to my mental health team keeping busy will help me. I generally have zero motivation to do things so now the weather is better I've been outside doing more and I do feel a bit healthier.
Odd little jobs I've done are ...
I want to begin my writing again but admittedly that's a tall order.
Crikey, when have you had time to sleep?
When I saw your user name, I thought "that's brilliant - ZX spectrum!" Then I read that you have a Nissan ZX. So now I'm wondering, did you buy the car because it reminded you of the computer, and is your user name a homage to the computer, the car, or both??
(By the way, I also loved David Tennant as the doctor, and Matt Smith)
I work part time but in my spare time I read, research my interests and play video games.
I had a different day to the one I planned, my dog jumped into a swampy drainage ditch and started digging, throwing up great clods and gouts of horrible smelling water and mud that she covered herself with. She's not much of a swimmer so wouldn't go in the sea deep or long enough to get clean, so when I got home I had to bathe her which was a performance as she hates it. She's all nice and clean, smells nice and has a lovely shiny coat now, but she's still not happy, she's going round the house with a real long face, and on a lurcher that really is a long face!
I have a pamper morning every Monday which always makes me look forward to a new week and is a positive start. I am currently studying part time and then on the days where I don't study I invest time into my special interests eg: listening to music , exploring new asian resturants as I love the cuisine , live streaming is another and it just makes me feel relaxed and it's enjoyable , hope that helps
i go to work everyday which keeps me busy, but i dont think that kind of busy is any good for my mental or physical health at all loli keep my mind sane and busy by plotting out different ways to retire and different financial things i can do.if i save like 200k into savings account i could probably get more interest than what i live off per month. so thats a motivator plan/goal for me. which could be possible if things stay the same for 20 years, which is also coincidentally the amount of time i need to get my state pension contributions fully.
Yesterday, I walked my dog twice, went to the B&M and bought fence paint and a brush, cooked a roasted vegetable salad with home made honey and mustard dressing, everything cooked from scratch and some gardening, then I sat on my bum and watched telly.
I'm always fairly active, I try and get a good dog walk in before I do much else so as I get endorphins flowing through my body that enable me to do other physical stuff, although sometimes a walk just finishes me off. I always cook from scratch and I batch cook so I always have stuff in the freezer for days when I really don't want to cook or when I've been busy with other things. I do all the shopping, dog walking, most of the gardening, some of the cleanning, all my own laundry. I have more to do than time to do it in.
Watching TV, stuff on YouTube, going for a walk/drive. That's usually it.
