Love this, Holly. For me, it’s swimming or knitting. The repetitive nature and not having to concentrate too hard relaxes my brain. Funnily enough, playing the piano doesn’t have the same effect because I’m too involved in the music.
Thanks for reading and sharing Sarah! It’s interesting about music isn’t it? I have colleagues who listen to music while they work but that would just distract me and get tunes stuck in my head. I have to listen to rain or waves or birdsong instead to help me focus. And I’m totally with you on the repetitive movements relaxing the brain. Sometimes I love colouring books for that too.
