I like the ‘book’ suggestion. Having a good book to read, that doesn’t have anything to do with church, or philosophy would be great… something that is just a cool story that you can get wrapped up into. I know it wouldn’t suit everyone, but I have read all of the “A Song of Ice and Fire” books (a.k.a. The Game of Thrones series). There is 5,000+ pages that will keep you busy for a while. Also, a good hobby goes a long way. Find something you really enjoy doing and let that be your time to escape.
I completely understand. Find a specialty soda/drink that complies with what you’re looking for. My husband really likes a pineapple “cider” non-alcoholic called Tepachito sold at world market, non alcoholic ginger beer, or a really good root beer. Personally I love a good sparking water with fruit and fresh mint. There are tons of compliant options, be creative and have some fun. Lemonade is always a good bet too! Albertsons, world markets, Mexican markets, Asian markets and online can be great places to find specialty sodas and drinks. Many brew houses/tap houses that make their own beer sometimes carry a “house” root beer that can be seriously good.
Word of caution though: read labels carefully. There are many types of alcoholic soda available now.
Hope that helps!
For me it has been a combination of things, walking, reading, sleep, balance. I walk because I don’t take the extra time to exercise. Walking in a park and looking at the sky and trees is a stress reliever. I also read sometimes while I walk. I read dt suzukis introduction to zen buddism with a forward by Carl jung, it changed my world view and spurred a road to inner peace. Getting enough sleep is important I’m a zombie without at least 7 hours. Balance is finding out what you need and getting of what you dont, I’m still working out the wobbles.
