Take Notice
Evidence suggests that taking notice of the present moment helps to improve our wellbeing, so we've put together a list of ideas that can help people to do that. We haven't listed many hobbies that give people something to focus on though, as there are just too many of them! But anything enjoyable that takes your mind off other things could also go here.
