You're right! I was thinking it from the perspective that things that come from within might be more rewarding, but I agree with your point and I changed my mind, suggestions are good signal to try things.

In that sense, I would recommend first going through watchlist, reading list of similar pending things that give me a lot of peace of mind, also connect with people you have postponed to reconnect with, I'd learn an instrument (my choice would be piano) and train my self in a sport of interest (like table tennis)
