Simple... simple... What do you think of as simple?
Coloring books are pretty simple and it's a pretty relaxing thing to do. Doesn't require much besides some colored pencils or markers, and these days you can find books to fit just about any interest. You can start this hobby for ~US$30.
Personally I enjoy building and painting models, which can be very simple or very complicated depending on your resources and level of interest. It does take up space, but at the end you have a tangible finished product which always feels rewarding. Paints, some basic tools like a hobby knife and glue, and a model kit will probably run you about ~US$100. There is a mountain of YouTube content in this area, so it's pretty easy to learn new skills and techniques. I recommend Goobertown Hobbies and Boylei Hobby Time
Meditation is one of the simplest things you can do. It requires no equipment, no particular skills and really no formal instruction of any kind. It is one of the most rewarding practices you might pursue in life. I recommend Getting to Where You Are by Stephen Harrison and Being Peace by Thich Nhat Hanh, and this 27-minute guided meditation by Sam Harris as a starting point.
