dude everytime I watch swades or listen to the title track I cry missing india as if I'm not actually right there like !?!

I love basic things I love popular things, I was born to enjoy every good thing the world has to offer

default pastimes

Default pastimes are different from hobbies. They're activities you can always do when you want to be productive or have fun. These activities are easy to do and don't need much planning. They serve as reliable go-to options for occupying your time in a productive or enjoyable manner.

What sets default pastimes apart is their remarkable ability to lift or stabilize your mood, assisting you in getting out of a rut and clearing your mind. Even engaging in these activities all day leaves you significantly more productive and fulfilled than anything else. Offering opportunities for personal growth, creativity, and enjoyment, they provide a healthy alternative to unproductive habits and contribute to overall well-being.

Default pastimes aren't just about relaxation or fun; they can also help you get ahead. Tasks like meal prepping, planning, decluttering, preparing outfits, and packing bags contribute to your well-being by reducing stress and saving time. Doing these things when you don’t feel well or are stuck boosts your sense of accomplishment and frees up more time for leisure.

So, dear ladies, make your list of default pastimes and keep it handy. When you're not sure what to do or find yourself rotting away, pick something from your list and give it your all until you’re ready to tackle the rest of your day/ responsibilities.

You'll find that by doing so, you can reset your mindset, reignite your passions, and approach the rest of your schedule with renewed vigor and enthusiasm.

Here’s my list

journalling

going on a walk and voice recording myself venting

running

reading

stretching

working out

decluttering

meal prepping

planning

meditation

praying (the rosary)

sitting in the chapel

spa/ self care day

walking around in the city, window shopping, art exhibition, museum,…

etc.

Again, they’re distinct from hobbies and help me get back on my feet. If it takes all day then it’s a whole day I need. One thing I do is pick my activity for the day beforehand and do that in between tasks. Can’t concentrate on my homework? Cool, I’ll just do stretching excercises until I feel ready.
