2. WRITING
Laying out your thoughts and ideas on paper is an easy way to express your feelings, emotions, thoughts, etc. It is one of the ways to know more about yourself, as you as the author lead the pen on what to write on the paper. You can write about yourself, your future plans, your experiences, your realizations, and many more pertaining to yourself. You can also be creative in writing, you can write short stories, novels, poetries, and many more. Writing relaxes our mind and is also a fun way of escaping from reality just like what reading does, but the difference is you are the author of this one.
“ The pen is the tongue of the mind.”- Miguel de Cervantes
3. LEARNING A NEW LANGUAGE
Learning a new language is one of the most complex mental activities that you can do. It can make you knowledgeable and smart regarding the culture and traditions of one’s country.

Just imagine watching a movie without reading its subtitle and traveling to another country without too much worrying about communication is indeed hassle-free!

5. PLAYING SPORTS
Some of you might really don’t like playing sports or just going outside the house. Perhaps you don’t like being sweaty or you are afraid of the possibility to get an injury. However, sports aren’t only a physical sport but also a mental sport. It has a dual effect on a person’s body. Just like when a person is playing a sport, he/she is not only focusing on his/her posture but also the strategy that he/she is planning. Playing sports can help you to stay in shape, stay healthy and make friends with others. Just make sure to stretch right before playing to reduce the possibility of getting injured.
“Just play, have fun, and enjoy the game.”- Michael Jordan
