  Ohh! I love this idea - I gotta think of some things. Usually I like to do sports but exercising has been a chore for me during lockdown. 
  
  I love playing with my rats and my hamsters. My wee babas

  
  Sometimes I love a good read or a nice bath as well

  This sounds like a good idea! 
  • Drawing / Doodling - I tend to drawing most of the time, especially during a lesson to prevent me from sleeping 
  
  • Playing games - I like play games a lot like rhythm, arcade games on my phone, will happily to have a competition if I know how to play that game or good at it
  
  • Journaling - Writing is very useful to me and helps me to calm myself from overthinking at times. I'm not good at writing but write about my feelings and life is good.

  For me it's probably running and a bit of reading.

  Ooh I love this idea @lara_mac, it’s great to have threads like this that we can all look back on too. 
  
  Mine have to be: 
  
  Music!! I couldn’t live without music.
  
  Playing with my labrador, he’s adorable and he still acts like a puppy even though he’s nearly 3 lol.
  
  I know this isn’t great for a lot of people but I actually find social media somewhat helpful, if I avoid certain apps (facebook) then I find it a good distraction.

  Must agree baking is fun, for Christmas I made a trifle and an orange cheesecake with my mum which was a nice break. Listening to music is also a great one for me.

  Love this thread idea!
  
  In no particular order, my top three distractions are probably:
  
  1) Swimming (when the pools are open that is... quick tip for those wanting to enjoy this relaxing form of exercise: outdoor pools/lidos are still open in tier 4!)
  
  2) Walking (I love to listen to an interesting or funny podcast while exploring a green space)
  
  3) Cooking (I find that after a stressful day or a period of feeling low, if I get stuck into a new recipe while listening to upbeat music, this can really help to centre me)

  - Journaling - When I'm having a really bad day or having a breakdown, my energy's focused on writing. I write until I'm tired then I have a bit of quiet time.
  
  
  - Music - Music all the way!
  
  
  - Photography - I take photos around my area from time to time. It's the same thing but there's always something new to look at.
  
  
  - Doodling/Colouring
