Good mental health and good health in general are closely related. What do you do to help boost your mental health? I use hobbies. My hobbies are reading Tarot and collecting kazoos. 😄

Members shared how they maintain their mental health while living with cancer, with many emphasizing the importance of staying active through daily walks, exercise classes, and physical hobbies like woodworking, guitar building, and painting. Several members described finding comfort in spiritual practices such as daily devotionals and gratitude, while others highlighted the value of staying socially connected with friends and family, whether through regular coffee dates, online gaming communities, or virtual reality spaces. A recurring theme was the power of engaging hobbies and routines to provide structure, purpose, and distraction from both the emotional weight of cancer and the physical challenges of chronic pain.

I use hobbies as well. Right now I'm working on building and finishing a 12 string electric guitar. But I also paint land scapes and do puzzles and have started to alleviate the social distancing with using a VR headset and going into meta world. Mental health is a problem at times I have to admit still because I also deal with chronic pain in my spine and knees. I also read a lot and meditate.

I read several devotionals each morning with my coffee as I thank God for my health!
I am grateful 🙏 every minute of every day.
