Lockdown and 2020, in general, has been pretty tough on us all so although we can mention many ideas for activities for elderly women at home, the main purpose is to release some happy hormones and get yourself away from the glum feeling.

Physical activities that are good ideas for activities for the elderly and that release happy hormones can include:

• Yoga
• Gardening
• Exercising
• Meditation
• Dog Walking

All of these are great ideas for activities for the elderly for reducing stress and improving wellbeing. These activities can also reduce panic, anxiety and possible ease stress-related illnesses, which makes them especially important at the moment. They could even help with memory loss, focus, and concentration.

Can you think of any other fun activities for seniors? Let us know if you do and we will spread the word and add them to our list of fun activities for seniors.

If you're not used to being active, you could start with a walking meditation (walking and focusing on your breathing in and out), or perhaps a 5-minute meditation exercise first thing in the morning or last thing at night. Take a look at our blog on meditation for some inspiration.
