Self soothing - I walk my dogs and take them to different places that are pretty or interesting. I get massages. I do yoga and sacral cranial (it might be cranial sacral - I always get it mixed up) energy stuff, qi gong breathing and reiki. I have volunteered for things like making meals for the elderly or homeless, food pantry shelving, and so forth. Sometimes I get involved in my hobbies (bread baking, curing/smoking things - and take and give them away - the usefulness is in the making not the eating) For me, it is somewhat useful to get out and do something.
