What do you love doing? What activities can you lose yourself in? What did you love doing in the past?
Enjoying yourself helps beat stress. Doing an activity you enjoy probably means you’re good at it and achieving something boosts your self-esteem.
Concentrating on a hobby like gardening or the crossword can help you forget your worries for a while and change your mood.
“I’m learning the guitar. You have to really concentrate on getting it right so there’s no room in my head for worries.”
It can be good to have an interest where you’re not seen as someone’s mum or dad, partner or employee. You’re just you.
An hour of sketching lets you express yourself creatively. A morning on the football pitch gets you active and gives you the chance to meet new people.
Don't just focus on crypto! Open your horizons. 
Good advice.
I am particularly sensitive (receptive) to stress unfortunately, and my therapy is to do what I love and I'm good at (programming). Without that, I'm beset by panic. But I can think about it (my projects, what I'll do next) every time i'm in a stressful situation.
And you should do it before problems arise. A life without hobbies isn't a life.

Correct. And don't get stressed. Life is meant to be enjoyed. It seems like your stuck in a small bubble that bursts whenever you don't program. Enjoy life for what it is. Spread the word. #alexMD

Easier said than done :D I wasn't programming a lot (but it was already a hobby for some years) before it happened to me (I wasn't stressed at all as a child / young adult but work did that to me).
It's crazy the habits the brain can take... And the efforts required to break them is even crazier.
It doesn't restrain me from enjoying life, it did for some time, but I came back.
It just made me realize that I had to do what I want when I want (and f*ck their careers and their money), and programming is most of the time what I want to do.
