Hobbies & Leisure Activities for Life With MS

Hobbies that bring joy to our Can Do MS community and ways these hobbies can be altered to fit life with MS.

Hobbies Members Of The Can Do MS Community Love:

A favorite hobby of mine is journaling and writing poems. It can be a gratitude journal or just sharing your daily thoughts to stay stress-free.
I began taking ukulele lessons a few years ago. It has improved my dexterity, my ability to multi-task, and it’s a good stress relief.
I make cards for the Caring Ministry at church with supplies from Stamp’in Up or Scrapbook.com. Making them brings me much joy.
Library is an incredible resource for activities as well as movement, and mingling while learning.
Having an Audible account and being able to read/listen to books. It helps me keep up with what is happening in the world of literature and it’s always great to hear a good book.

I take riding lessons. It has always been a passion for me. I know my limits, but it gives me strength building and keeps me active.
I use guided meditations.
Riding my bicycle!! It helps me get outside in nature (when it’s not too hot), explore my community, and get exercise. Great for stress reduction and physical benefits.
Walking my dog!
My dad made birdhouses, and I started “Picasso-like” paintings on them. It is relaxing. If you made a mistake, for example, drawing two noses, you can just keep going!
