Stress and anxiety is running pretty high for just about everyone right now, and frankly, we'll take all the distractions we can get. We're currently finding solace in laughter, movement, and focusing our minds on something else. When we can concentrate on a colouring book or fun game, we feel moments of joy that are deeply appreciated right now. These 11 activities will give your mind something else to concentrate on, and probably put a smile on your face.
Now's the time to learn to sew, put on some of your favourite music, or get really good at chess. Plus, you could start journaling, or work on a pretty puzzle. In moments of uncertainty, it's nice and comforting to get back in touch with ourselves. Take a deep breath, and shop our picks.
