Studies show that a rush of excitement or joy, such as taking a walk, playing with your dog, or cooking, releases eustress, a moderate psychological stress shown to be beneficial for you. As a positive break from work, hobbies offer new challenges for your brain and an outlet for stress. Focusing on activities different from work gives your mind new tasks to focus on. The intensity of participating in something you enjoy makes time fly by. This is time you are not dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. Engaging in activities that you love have proven to lower blood pressure, cortisol, obesity, and body mass index while, at the same time, increasing levels of positive psychosocial states. This proves that hobbies are good for mind, body, and soul.
