    The sibling comment said drugs which may be effective for some people but I’d actually just highlight “leisure” being able to afford to explore when your mind takes you is a luxury that pays off massively for your mental health. I have wanderlust and I’m a programmer, sometimes my legs want to move and, with my understanding boss, I can go out into the world and walk along the beaches or through the forest while I ponder problems… this is a huge boon for my mental health and is something most employees can’t afford due to monetary stresses and toxic employers.
