What do you do that you'd consider therapeutic?

    I don't know if this is an appropriate place for this, apologies if not, I need a kind-of Miscellaneous-y Forum. I might ask can we get a Miscellaneous-esque Forum.

    Anyways I spent a rather pleasant half hour or so this evening cleaning my ice-box! Have been putting it off for a while but everything in there is going soft and not freezing at all! Anyways I found it quite enjoyable and therapeutic to be thawing it out sitting there with my hair-dryer. :) Another thing I like doing that I find therapeutic is ironing. :)

    How about you?

    I have a pole at home that like to do tricks on. Seriously, it works wonders like going to the gym!

    A 30-minute jog every other day
    Walking the dog
    Having one beer at night before going to bed
    Burning cinnamon candles

    Cooking and training.

    Both require a little motivation to get started at times but both are very satisfying when finished.

    I like mild pains. Piercings and that kind pain is real therapeutic.

    I love when my hair is brushed. I have very long hair, halfway down my back and I love the feeling of someone else brushing it or playing with it.

    It gets me excited and relaxed at the same time :o
