Baking is very therapeutic for me, forcing me to relax
when stressed or upset. I also enjoy the creating different
creations through baking which others can then enjoy.

my home looks
presentable

10. BushWalking
I enjoy bush
walking as it
gives me the
chance to
escape outside
pressures and
admire nature.
It is also
physically
challenges me
and gives me a
sense of
achievement
and satisfaction
upon
completion of
the walk.

11. Singing
Singing is a
very
therapeutic
output for me.
It allows me a
way to express
myself around
those who also
enjoy it, and is
also a way in
which to meet
new people.
