What are your favorite healthy ways to engage Se?

[worthy]

I have struggled all my life with this and didn't realize it until recently. I tend to get stuck in Ni-Ti, get sucked into Netflix or Youtube or forums (like this one, ha) or really just any interesting online information rabbit-holes, or binge read, or eat too much, or eat the wrong things, or both.

I have recently started doing more hiking in the woods (awesome!) and some brief meditating in the mornings. I would love to know what other things people to do engage Se in a healthy way. Seems I ought to have made a lifelong practice of this already. And I have two INFJ kids who need to know about this, too (probably the INTJ one as well).

The healthy thing I do personally with Se is what you are doing; meditating, taking a walk, sports/exercise, doing anything with rhythm. Something to keep your body busy with, generally.

Clean your space. Organize it. Decorate it. Make it aesthetically pleasing to you.
Paint.
Exercise.
Play a sport
Go for a hike

Yeah, exercise.

Or make things (either arts or crafts, &c.)

Even just putting extra effort into cooking can help.

I run and paint, though not at the same time. That would probably help even more, though.

My favorite is playing drums

Does listening to music count?

Dancing.

I spend time outdoors (by myself). I like to go to the woods and dance while I'm there.

You play for real? That's awesome. My dad is a drummer too.

-------------------------------
I think playing any instrument is great.

So, does finger drumming and air guitar count as Se? Lol

It's true. And yes, finger drumming counts. Air guitar does not.

Cool.
I don't air guitar anyway. Lol.

Thanks, Milk.
