I found a great sedentary hobby that doesn't produce anything or cost anything and can be done alone at home:
MEDITATION!
I'm reading "Full Catastrophe Living." I did the first exercise and was dismayed by how my brain natters on and on, just this torrent of thoughts and a new song i like spinning ceaselessly. But i must not judge. I only managed to focus on a few partial breaths. It will take some practice!
I was charmed by the poetry of the instructions for bringing attention to the belly. It said to imaging my belly as a shy animal i have come upon in a clearing in a forest sunning itself on a tree stump!
Excited!
Hugs to all who struggle!
