Relaxing and creative hobbies like knitting (编织), gardening, bird-watching and drawing are sometimes called "grandma hobbies". 31 But today, people of all ages enjoy them—and not just for fun! These hobbies can actually help our mind and body feel better. Emma Palmer-Cooper, a scientist from the UK, says that setting small goals(目标), like learning a new hobby or finishing a project, gives us a sense of purpose(目标感). 32
Scientific research supports this idea. A study from Princeton University has found that gardening makes people feel as happy as eating at a restaurant or going for a walk. 33 A study has found that seeing or hearing birds can improve our mood (心情)—even when we are feeling down.
Drawing is also a fun and creative way to improve our mental health. 34 And if we keep doing it for a month, the effects(效果) are even stronger.
These hobbies don't just improve our mental health—they also keep our brain healthy.
Learning something new makes our brain (大脑) more active. 35
So why not try a "grandma hobby"? Whether it's gardening, drawing or watching birds, it could be your new favourite way to relax—and feel great!
