For me it's practicing art.

Mainly playing music with a group, sometimes writing and occasionally drawing or painting. It focuses me on the emotional experience and response to entering the unknown and finding flow there

There's a book called Art and Fear that nails the tao of it.

Seconding this recommendation heartily!

"Art & Fear: Observations on the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking"

It's surprisingly relevant to what folks like us go through, and how we relate to our creations, intangible though they might be (at least if you're purely in software).
