SAMPLE
​There are lots of ways to do a daily mental work-out. You can:
​
  • enjoy a daily puzzle or the crossword
  • opt for mental arithmetic rather than use the calculator
  • read more – perhaps by joining or starting a book club
  • play mind-stretching games, like bingo, bridge, chess or computer games
  • stay socially active – join a local choir or gardening club
  • take up a new interest – learn to knit or embroider, even gardening is good for the brain
  • start a course, day or evening class
  • go out more with a friend – enjoy the cinema, theatre, galleries
  • continue working or do voluntary work – social contact helps your memory and concentration
  • exercise for half an hour at least three times a week

STIMULATE YOUR MIND WITH CREATIVE HOBBIES
SAMPLE TEXT

​If your mental health needs a boost, or even if you are just trying to maintain your wellbeing, creative hobbies are a fantastic way to do help improve your psychological health.
Creative hobbies help you to use your time for something positive. It’s easy to idle away hours doing on social media or TV, and more often than not, it doesn’t make you feel good about yourself. In fact, research has shown a link between mental health difficulties and excessive time on social media.
Creative hobbies help to focus your mind by getting you into a state of flow. This can get you out of your head and away from any problems or difficult thoughts that you might have. Creating something and learning new skills can also boost your self-esteem, as well as give your brain a healthy workout – boosting your attention span, memory and problem-solving skills.
