Bitcoin bear market, stress management and in my case growing vegetables.

Ok, so I know this is an odd title but I think we all need to find a way to de-stress at times.

This is my second bear market and it's not much easier than the first.

Earlier this year I decided I needed to do something to take my mind of things, just staring at charts was really not doing me, or my family, any good.

In my case I decided to plant some vegetables, nothing major, just some tomatoes, beans, peppers, chillis and other bits.

The simple acts of digging, planting, watering etc has helped enormously, taken me away from the crypto world and given me something positive to focus on for a while.

Of course when I'm done, I can't help but check the prices, I still feel much better though.

Of course I'm not saying everyone should pick up a spade, but I do think it's worth repeating that we need to get away from the charts a while and do something, whatever that maybe be, that is positive for our mental health.

I know it's hard when you are feeling incredibly low, but kicking a ball, taking a walk, gardening... or whatever you choose, really will make you feel a bit better.

Bear markets are long and tough, look after yourselves.
