I personally enjoy taking long walks. It doesn't matter if it's in the woods, on a bike trail, or just through town. There's something nice about just meandering and being alone with your thoughts while still being immersed in the outside world.

I enjoy brewing loose leaf tea gongfu style (in a small vessel with many infusions): it gives me just enough to do, and a pleasant stimulus to focus on, that it's very grounding.

Is that where each cup(infusion) tastes different and there's a whole ritual kinda thing?

Yeah, I found a neat article that explains it: https://pathofcha.com/blogs/all-about-tea/a-detailed-guide-to-gong-fu-cha-the-chinese-way-to-taste-tea
