WE’VE ALL BEEN KNOWN TO FRITTER AWAY TIME WATCHING TV OR SCROLLING THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA WHEN WE COULD BE WORKING ON MORE PRODUCTIVE PURSUITS. HERE WE LOOK AT SOME FUN HOBBIES THAT COME WITH ADDED HEALTH BENEFITS
Doing puzzles
It might seem like a mindless activity but sorting straight edges into a pile or deciphering what goes where can help with problem-solving, memory and fine motor skills. Puzzles can take your focus off what’s stressing you and keep your brain active at the same time. The end result is that you come back to your problems with a fresher, stronger mind, better able to find helpful solutions.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Whether you simply want to take better pictures of friends and family or make beautiful art, photography can be a great creative pursuit. As you practise seeing the world through the eyes of a photographer, you may start to notice new things, and learn to see the beauty around you, appreciating the small moments more than ever. You could choose a theme or just record one instance each day. This hobby will get you out of the house and may take you to places you’ve never been before to get that perfect shot.
