Mental Health Professional on Benefits of Analog Hobbies - Southern Living

For Southern Living, I’m looking for some comments from a mental health professional on why old-fashioned “grandma hobbies” (knitting, gardening, puzzles, cards, baking, bird watching, etc.) are back in fashion. I’d like to hear about why this is a potentially healthy response to digital overload and why working with our hands in these methodical, analog ways is helpful and desirable right now. Email responses to these prompts (no specific questions) work great. Deadline: 12 noon EST, Friday, October 17, please.
