I grow a garden. I have an emergency fund and paid off debts. I give my cat hugs. I take walks around the block.
I have really bad anxiety issues. So, it's not fun.
To echo this great comment: Gardens are amazing...and they don’t have to be much. To have an avocado tree that you've somehow kept alive for 5 years after you forgot you threw itnin the dirt is amazing.
Managing your money, time and friendships (including the fuzzy ones) is also key...small steps and big rewards.
Travel, if and when you can, instead of gifts, is more rewarding and opens you up to different life choices you may not know exist.
Garden & walks fix a lot. Also, if you eat it off the plant directly, it doesn't count against your diet!
