Well-being

09 January, 2025

Hobbies can enhance overall well-being by providing a break from stress and routine. These activities can offer space for relaxation, creativity, self-expression and personal growth.

Below are examples of hobbies that might help your overall well-being:

1. Being physically active while engaging in a hobby, for example gardening can raise an individual's mood and it can help a person set goals and achieve them.

2. Connecting with others through a hobby, for example being part of a book club can help a person build a sense of self-worth.

3. A hobby that involves learning new skills, for example learning a new language can help an individual build a sense of purpose and self-confidence.
