Instead of biting my nails or playing with a fidget toy, is there a skill I can learn/practice?
Like rolling a pen/coin through my fingers or something like that.
Look into flow arts! Thereβs something for everyone, and itβs great exercise!
Also for those who donβt feel like Googling it: flow arts include juggling, spinning, baton/staff/whatever spinning, fan dance (?), and more.
TIL thereβs a general term for that.
Wouldnβt the coin on the knuckles thing count?
Coin on the knuckles is tangential but not usually considered flowarts, which is usually more of a whole body activity. However itβs close enough that I wouldnβt be surprised if I saw someone showing off at a gathering. Similar to like hackeysack or balisong (butterfly knife).
Flow is also a gateway to fire performance, aerials, acrobatics, and other circus arts
