Health Benefits of Hobbies

This is an excerpt from 2022 WebMD, LLC. Written by: Venkat S.R.

"Research shows that when you take time to do activities that make you happy, it helps improve mental health. Giving quality time to activities that you enjoy also helps your performance in your professional life. It improves your creative problem-solving abilities and helps you build better relationships with your coworkers and makes you more empathetic.

A study in New Zealand found that participating in activities that bring out your creative side leads to an increased sense of well-being that is good for you in the long term. The people who were involved in the study felt a sense of positivity and upliftment after a few days of creativity.

Studies have also shown that individuals that regularly take time off for their hobbies are less likely to feel low or depressed. In fact, such activities can make you happier and more relaxed."

This really is a very good article, and I would encourage you to read it. Decorating and themed parties, cooking, etc. are my hobbies and they truly are what helps me stay in balance and be the best me I can be.
