Wow, you're being bombarded with good suggestions. Although I'd like to add an ingredient that helped me with my constant boredom; if you are going to go exploring or hiking, I found going outside to be incredibly dull personally unless I kept my mind occupied.
For me, that was creative writing brainstorming (plot, character development, etc) almost like organized daydreaming. I'd write it all down when I got home. Although I never did make the game given time constants, I had fun thinking of worlds of my own design.
Right now Iโm trying chess. I absolutely suck at it, but I can play it on demand at any time online and getting better at it. Donโt really play against live opponents often, but rather play bots or solve puzzles mostly. It helps get the mind to think about something else and makes me want to learn due to how bad I was initially. Still bad, just less so.
My hobbies change with the seasons. Woodworking, tinkering with electronics, amd gaming in the colder months. Biking in the summer months. Anything that requires your undivided attention helps forget about depression.
What sucks about exercise tips is that I live in Florida where there is nowhere to hike.
Stroads everywhere so I canโt bike.
Gyms? Not unless I pay $150 a month.
Walking? Oh right, stroads.
Itโs fucking built to be depressing here. I hate Florida.
Go for a bike ride.
If you can afford it, I highly recommend getting an ebike. It can open up a larger range where you can travel if you aren't in the best of shape.
