How busy hands can alter our brain chemistry

Hobbies are good for your brain! What are your hobbies? How do you keep those hands busy and have creative fun?

Science now shows this is a good thing! (Thank you, Paintman for the article!)

Messing around with my dremel, or target shooting. Been a while once I’ve gone shooting I miss that

Playing and writing music as you know but my IT career started as a hobby and still feels like it. Always the geek

Repetitive tasks are good for me. It could be painting an entire trim package for a house, snapping green beans, sorting nuts & bolts or baseball cards, or rolling putts after work. It's all Zen. Quiets my mind. Plus, things get done.

I’m going to start with target shooting at Charleh’s dremel.

Being honest instead of a troll, I have to say that there is sincerely something totally Zenning about painting a big old wall - rolling, rolling, rolling, DOH, damn hit the white ceiling, rolling, rolling, etc.

I always do the cut-in first. By the time I get to the rolling, rolling it's fun and you get to see great progress. There is great satisfaction seeing a completed job.

let’s see my fav is spinning yarn, then knitting, and reading. Of course my pets are hobbies too. They keep me very busy.
