I work to live and distribute time to items which nourish my soul and encourage family wellness. Working towards these goals creates a feedback of contentment for me - I'm in a good place and very happy about who and where I am.

I've learned over time that means activities which give you energy: physical fitness, creativity and relationship time (parenthood, spouse, friends, other family etc) and less activities which draw energy from you, inebriation, excessive video games, excess in any form (for example gluttony or work) etc.

I used to try to do projects 'for the money' in my spare time and inevitably I would give up on them. For me, money is not a main driver. I have enough, and toiling extra hours has no benefit for me.

What are some creative activities you'd recommend?

I'm currently learning piano on udemy. There are some great intro courses and udemy frequently discounts for 10 dollars. Previously I've done watercolors from them as well. I know they seem 'small', but I can't explain the thrill I got doing something I previously thought was impossible.
