Connect Digitally
To some, the digital world can be intimidating. However, as we get older, it is important to keep up with technology to stay in touch with family and friends you may not see often. Aside from using technology to connect with loved ones, you can also use it to explore new hobbies. You can engage in activities like tracing your ancestry, join virtual tours of world museums, or simply catch up on a TV show or movie. The digital universe is awaiting exploration!
Artistic Pursuits
Channel your inner Picasso! Another fun indoor activity is art. Whether you’re doing a watercolor painting or a DIY craft, your options are endless. You can also use art as a social activity. Getting together with your neighbors and friends to work on an art project is another way to spend time with fellow residents.
Wellness and Meditation
Your physical well-being is essential, especially during the summertime. Some indoor wellness activities include tai chi and yoga. These activities are more laid-back meditation sessions and are specifically designed for senior residents. Participating in these ensures that your body remains active and your mind is able to find moments of tranquility. Plus, it’s an excellent way to stay fit without having to brave the summer heat.
