I will eventually create a refined and organized list. Right now this is just a stream of consciousness list, no thinking about which things work in which situations and how much energy I have to have to use the strategy.
Being out in nature
Watching my dogs race around open fields like maniacs
Being around water, better yet, being in the water
Curling up in bed with a good Scandinavian mystery
Visiting the art museum
Drawing
Going to the symphony
Putting some of my favorite music on and dancing around the house
Talking to my best friend who lives so far away
Writing about my feelings
Remembering painful things from the past but changing the ending in a way that makes me feel more powerful
Riding my bike
Cleaning and organizing some part of my house
Working in the garden
Checking out an art book from the library and looking deeply at the photographs
Traveling
Sage Burning 
Love your list. 🙂

What an awesome list. Swimming, boating, being near water is the most healing thing for me.

Water, yes, it’s so healing! Even wading in a river or letting the ocean splash on my feet (I live on the west coast where the Pacific is cold, so I don’t swim in it unless I’m south of Santa Barbara.

Weird, I actually thought I was posting this as a page that I would work on over time… oops… Yes, swimming and boating are really, really good, and snorkeling! And interacting with animals. I got to go dog sledding a few times in Alaska, and that was incredible, especially when I got to mush. Also learning to speak another language or even communicate a bit. Learn about other cultures. Cook something my family loves. Work on a project that is so interesting that I lose track of time while I’m working on it.

This is so heart-warming to me, and I’m not even sure why. I smiled when reading this list. Maybe because it felt very self-loving and acknowledging, something I am trying to do more of. Acknowledging who I am and what my experiences are; and you did such a beautiful job here of identifying what brings you to your peaceful place. Thank you for sharing.
