How Hobbies Make You Happier and Healthier

Britt
The Creative Cluster book club reads inspiring nonfiction about the creative process, bringing together readers, writers, artists, and other creators. Founded by Brittany, the club is currently reading “The Creative Act,” the legendary music producer Rick Rubin’s book about connecting with the wellspring of your creativity.“My name is Brittany, and I am an Atlanta-based Art Director. I am inspired by performing arts, painting, design, photography, and creative research,” the founder told her book club. “I hope I learn to create a more pleasurable and joyful creative practice by reading this book!”

Why hobbies matter

Fable community members have many different hobbies and creative outlets, writing about them every week on our app.According to a recent study, hobbies can improve your mental and physical wellness. Activities like art, games, crafts, writing, and club participation can bring a host of benefits. “Hobbies,” explained the Harvard Health Letter in an article about the topic, “involve creativity, sensory engagement, self-expression, relaxation, and cognitive stimulation, which are linked to good mental health and well-being.”

Fable members share their own hobbies

Our readers proudly told us about their own creative outlets in the Fable app. I collected a few of my favorites.

"My creative outlet is painting and photography" – Britt

"Currently, I'm writing (finished my first book trying to get it published). I still draw, I paint now too, but my favorite is painting on denim pants or jackets. I'm a part of a bowling league, but it's off-season now, so I'm taking a break." – Millie

"Customizing retro gaming consoles and Toy Design." – Vikings Can Read

"Does Fable count?" – Tori Ross

"Cooking." – RachelB
