15 Therapeutic and Meditative Activities for Calmness

Calm is something we all need to cultivate in our stressful adult lives. However, we’re not limited to the obvious, more mainstream methods of therapeutic activity or meditative practices: yoga, meditation, journaling, reading, walking, etc.

Here is a list of activities that are very calming because they are gentle or because they take keen concentration that can bring us into the present moment and relax us…

Pottery
Cleaning
Woodwork
Scrapbooking
Knitting, crocheting, macrame etc.
Gardening
Painting
Martial Arts
Colouring
Cooking or baking
Animal grooming
Brushing hair (yours, child’s, dog’s etc.)
Playing with beads or marbles
Swimming
Dancing and singing
