On my cell, I get games with ? Like what is capital of Vermont? See if your local newspaper has its word games online. Sign up for NY Times for free and see if U can access your crossword. The idea is to build the knowledge.

Nature and the outdoors is the key. I go fishing but that's my thing. Being outdoors, watching the sun rise and set, watching the wild birds and nature. Lying back and watching the clouds go by and daydreaming.

Thank you. This is the type of answer I was looking for. fishing for you sounds fun! do you end up setting the fish free? i'd like more options to figure out what i can incorporate daily or often.

Here in the UK we cherish our carp fishing and treat all the fish we catch with respect. We have special soft mats to rest and protect them when there out of the water.For me it's the outdoors and the tranquility and beauty of nature. It doesn't matter if I don't catch anything it's the peace and spending time with my two boys and fellow angler's. It's like a big club and band of brothers, I've lost count of the times I've sat with my fellow angler's drinking tea and chatting about life.

Escapism, it's all escapism, what you do to get away from life's trials and tribulations doesn't matter.

I also love daydreaming lol, it helps me escape so many things, I’d recommend writing down how you feel, daily observations relating to your environment, country, the world, anything at all. Walking is also good.

Thank you :) i daydream a lot as well. i just don't see it much of a hobby or at least one i can invite others to do with me. I love walking to :)

Crochet, knitting, embroidery

I go to those during the winter months when I can’t get outside due to northern winters.
