Mindful hobbies, now that I'm on meds?

General Question/Discussion

Hi!

People around me have always talked about a hobby that "shuts your brain off, mindful, like knitting". Never understood what they meant, it's not only boring, it makes me even more stressed to not be distracted.

Now I've been on meds for a year, and only NOW have I tried such a thing again and actually enjoyed it. I have absolutely no routines for this, haha, but I want to experiment more! A hobby that relaxes your head, wow.

For me, it has to be at the peak effect, 2 hours after talking it when I'm most relaxed. I'm doing picross right now.

Anyone got experience with this? What's your mindful thing or routine? Does it help?
