Imagine if sinking into the joy of an everyday ritual made the need to control outcomes or resolve difficult problems vanish, even if for a moment.

It’s interesting how comforting activities can come to the front of our mind, and their relation to sameness and continuity can free it of all the clutter. The thought alone is comforting.

In addition to everyday comforts, consider how time spent enjoying a favorite hobby can help clear your mind. If you’re someone who finds comfort in art, consider visiting a museum, art gallery or other creative space. Better yet, create your own space in which to enjoy your hobby. A well-placed crafting table and a bookshelf filled with items you love, maybe a comfy chair with a cuppa on the side table while you browse your favorite art book.

Get creative with the possibilities.
