there's also this thing that people talk about called "meditation", it doesn't have to be structured at all or related to buddhism. To me it's simply the activity of observing something, the polar opposite is mulling over stuff in your head, worry, complaining to yourself, fantasize, think, yet you can do both at the same time...you can notice things about yourself as you go on adventures inside of your head. Noticing the sounds outdoors and the birds makes me feel less lonely living out in the country...

the purpose of meditation is not to find entertainment or excitement though, it's basically just to free yourself from your self-created shackles.

there's also structured meditation, and one only need to surf the web and practice to figure out how to do this, i've stopped doing this for the time being as it can be self-destructive and un-englightening.
