For me it's exercise, being able to turn off my brain while listening to music and exerting all of my energy into something positive is something I wouldn't be able to find in anything else really except fitness.

My favorite self-care day starts with putting my phone on do not disturb. Next is getting a haircut and beard trim at the local barbershop. Then I go home and rinse off. Hit the gym. And then hit up a bakery for a croissant. I finish the afternoon with a trip to see a movie by myself with a big sugary drink and a bag of popcorn that I pour M&M's into.
Edit: I forgot to add that I don't tell anybody I took the day off from work.

Dungeons and Dragons
I've had many bad games through the years but I can noticeably track the positive changes its had on my confidence and interpersonal skills, which is crazy for a game where you do funny voices and math.

Psychedelics, i would argue they are superior to therapy.

Lying on the floor, staring at the ceiling, and letting my existential crisis play like a slideshow. Surprisingly calming.
