For me, when im painting, and no im no artist, i dont think about my pain or anything else. When you have to concentrate on the details of the painting, I always buy canvases with a picture already on it or stencil the image, then you have to only concentrate on the painting so that you dont mess it up. It also helps my anxiety and stress!! My one other comfort is my cats!

I do yoga. Getting to the mat takes work, but when I get done it feels as though something transformative happens for the better.

I learned to crochet last winter and it is a HUGE help for my “painxiety” Not too difficult to learn either! There are tons of YouTube tutorials and of course Pinterest has lots of learning tools as well! Another bonus is it’s not a very expensive hobby and you can make great gifts for your loved ones! Hope this helps❤️

Adult coloring (I use pencil crayon's and a sharpener near by) and work for a bit, go lay down, sometimes I am there for so long, I don't notice time, or pain

I love to knit, and do plastic canvas. They both relax me very much. I also listen to a lot of Native American Flute Music, they have some awesome musicians. I find much peace in their music. I also pray, a lot.
