Music

Culturally specific foods.

Cannabis

Psychedelics (mushrooms, LSD)

MDMA

Sexual activity

Cuddling

Personal Retreats/solitude.

Music is the most important listed above. I use music to keep me in a specific and personal space. Noise isolated headphones let me maintain a constant pulse regardless of the environment at large. It's key to my mental well-being.

Comfort foods specific to inherited Caribbean culture reminds me of the years spent under the protection of parents and family.

Sexual activity, whether it's a good fap or intercourse, is probably a biological response. But, I really really like sex.

Cuddling goes back to parental love and nurturing. Plus the benefit of holding another warm body close, especially if you love them.

Every few months, I get away from society and occupy rural areas for a weekend. It's easier to remain isolated from the constant activity of urban life.

The drugs are self explanatory.
