What are things you enjoy doing that you are internally motivated to do?

Basically I'm internally motivated to passively consume things.

1. Read good self help books

2. Read interesting articles on culture, history, and institutions

This used to include politics, but the Trump era has turned me off from that subject

3. Gaze at art that I find beautiful and compelling art

This is mostly realist, academic, renaissance, baroque art, etc.
