Can't agree more. I built myself a simple writing app[1] a couple of years back, purely because I wanted to have a place to slow down, somewhere I could just pour my emotions/thoughts into, without self-editing. I posted a bit more about in the root thread. If you give the app a shot, let me know. I think you might like it.

I'd add any unconstrained (and ideally "childish") form of art to the list. I write in the morning then doodle just before going to bed [2]. I generally struggle with sticking to new habits but relying on this form of mental hygiene, plus therapy made a huge improvement in my quality of life.
