Screenshot of Instagram post about People with Grandma hobbies have better mental health globalpositivenews A study published in the British Journal of Occupational Therapy found that people who frequently engage in 'grandma hobbies' report feeling calmer, less stressed, and more uplifted. + Knitting, gardening, baking, and sewing offer surprising mental health benefits in our fast-paced world. + These slow, hands-on activities serve as practical tools for restoring emotional balance and bringing joy to everyday life. Rather than chasing productivity or perfection, these “grandma hobbies” create space for self-care, offering a refreshing and meaningful alternative to hustle culture. + Research has also shown they can enhance brain health, improving memory, learning, and problem-solving through activities that require sustained focus and creativity. + By dedicating even a few minutes a day to something simple and intentional, people can experience the joy of slowing down and find peace in it. -- h/t: Forbes
Embrace the crone! 🧶🧵 I'm a knitter, cook, gardener, I'm sure there's more!

New hobby to keep my brain sane.
My first loaf turned out very good!
Note to self, buy a decent bread knife and a wood cutting board. 🥲 not sure where my bread knife disappeared to.
