Working with my hands really helps me. I have a fairly weird life, but the times I can throw myself into making things, or fixing stuff, are the times I find the most peace. Physical work, that’s also a bit of a cerebral workout really helps my brain state. There’s a lot of the time that I don’t really enjoy being me, but looking at a thing that I’ve made that solves a problem or serves a purpose, and will do so for years, that makes me feel pretty good. That said, my brain works best when solving physical problems - I guess it’s different for everyone, so finding that thing that your brain is good at, and makes you feel good by doing is the key. You might be useless at carpentry and metalwork, but a good cook or artist, or whatever, but putting effort into creating a thing that you’re proud of will definitely give you some lasting satisfaction
Edit:- less time scrolling or playing endless phone sudoku definitely helps me have more space to find happy moments too. The fediverse is a fantastic place, but I think it can be pretty detrimental to my mental health too loose myself in here
