been knitting a lot this month: a scarf, hats for friends, just started a sweater. feeling productive and a sense of calm : )
knitting is so fun and such an easy skill i recommend everyone try this. wool and the gang has cute beginner patterns and easy to follow intro videos!
but put your phone somewhere far away from you. And then if you need something to do w your hands do something wholesome (knitting, drawing) or productive (cleaning/cooking).
I used to try to only read “smart” books and thought way too hard before reading a book. and now I can’t stop reading fantasy novels because I’m having just so much fun.
