My chain of thoughts continued through the week. I was thinking about therapy and that is when my brain just jumped over the word therapeutic.

This is a common term that is being used nowadays. Okay, I had to look into the dictionary and one of the definitions was

having a beneficial effect on the body or mind

Warm lotion manicures … are a luxurious, therapeutic treat …—Elle

The past month, my phone has been giving me trouble. It is running out of charge and I am using like a landline hooked up on the charge. Boy, it is therapeutic. I am a social bee, with respect to my presence on social media, but I think I needed this break. I can go and get a new phone. But as of now I am fine. I am using my laptop more, it is a bit of inconvenience but I am not hooked up on it. I hope many may agree with me using less of screen time is therapeutic.

Anything that improves quality of life I can also be called therapeutic. Sometimes it may require hard work and sweat but the end result would be beautiful, like cleaning your home or gardening. I am not an artist or sports person but the small crafts I do with my boy are therapeutic for both of us and the walks we take I hope have long term benefits. My boy attends a music class and I sing with him. Ha, we are not going to perform anywhere but us jamming together is going to do us good long term.

Therapeutic activity can be long term, short term, even seconds or minutes. It need not be something you need to spend money or get tensed over.

So for now until I get a new phone me not looking into my phone much is a therapeutic activity.
