Ashley Foster Hobbies allow us to relax and sort of “zone out” while doing something we find enjoyable. Hobbies can be physical like golf, gardening, or dancing, or they can be activities like writing, making music, crafting or cosplaying that provide an opportunity to flex our creative muscles. In addition to being great stress relievers, research shows that hobbies can have positive effects on overall wellbeing and activities like drawing, painting, and molding clay have been scientifically proven to help people who have been exposed to trauma.
