What do you do to clear your head? Decompress, take time out from your life?
For me my favourite is watching waves. Rather excited that I'm off to do just that today. I also love to garden, stitch or sketch as it's great to create. I'm also picking up my newly framed latest piece of work in thread and can't wait to see it. Only took 9month to complete!
What do you do, lockdown or not, that keeps you at least semi sane in this crazy life we all share? |

I walk my dog while listening to upbeat music. Good brisk walk, blow the cobwebs away. My poor dog knows the difference between his normal walk and his 'mum wants to explode' walk. You almost see the words 'oh shit' run across his face. Cos he knows its gonna be a few hours before he gets to slow down ( he's old) |

We’d love to see it. I (mr) get quite passionate about things that people are passionate about, if you see what I mean? |

Not silly at all, I very much appreciate the length of time and effort it takes. Getting it framed is a great idea.  |

My first go to is take a few of the dogs for a good long walk, being on a hill taking in views or going through woodland area usually helps me think things through and bring me down. Gold panning is a great past time for me to keep distracted. A full day at a secret river with nobody around for miles as I work bedrock, finding semi precious stones/metal, the odd occasion some little pickers of gold, taking breaks where I just sit and watch the water flow by, sometimes quite entrancing. |

"Go for a long bike ride"
Same for me - I've been getting little anxious flutters since I lost my job and a long bike ride or walk always makes me feel better. |

I colour, a lot! There's some moments where I realise that my breathing has gotten really calm and all I'm thinking about is my colouring. Utter bliss 
I will also rrrrrrrr in my journal. Often all it takes for me is to get what I'm thinking and feeling out and I feel so much better.
Going out for walks by the sea.
Curling up with my Kindle.
And watching All Elite Wrestling.  |

In a ball gown because that's how we roll in N. Devon |
My happy place has always been down watching the water at the entrance to the harbour here. Even before I moved to Devon it was the place I felt most at peace and I'm so grateful to have been able to move here from London! |

I have a fabulous new hammock chair under my giant sycamore waiting for just that experience! It even has fairy lights in case stars are not twinkling enough |

Sleep helps. I find walks really help me too but only if I'm somewhere with a place worth walking around. I live in a shithole so it doesn't work so well here. |

Tranquility sounds good too. Sometimes I feel like I forget to breathe and peace sounds perfect. |

I do and If I could now I so would. Hope you've got room for a little one. When it's possible I'd love to visit |
