Journaling/Writing
Writing is a great hobby you can start and offers plenty of health benefits too. For starters, writing can help improve your memory because the act of writing something down can help you remember it. It can also boost brain health as writing will keep your brain active.
Journaling can also be a great stress reliever! This is because the act of transferring your overwhelming thoughts to paper can help rid your mind of these emotions and in turn, help to relieve stress. Along with journaling, you can also use your time to write a book.
