Embrace a Hobby!

What kinds of hobbies did you enjoy as a kid? Knitting? Practicing ballet? Horseback riding, collecting stickers, or building model trains? Hobbies are a great way to relax, unwind, and be creative! They're an awesome way to show off your inner you! The problem is that as we get older, we sometimes spend less time doing those fun things that we enjoy, simply because there's so much else we need to do. We think we might even feel silly acting like a kid again or picking up an old hobby from a long time ago! Go on and make the time! Don't worry about what people will say if you take up a new hobby or pick up an old one. Just go for it and enjoy it! It doesn't matter what you do; a hobby is anything enjoyable that allows you to chill out and embrace your creative side.

What is it that makes you special? Do you love watching old movies or reading mystery novels? Have a knack for decorating on a budget? Love to salsa dance — or think you might? I encourage you to take on a new hobby, even if it just means putting aside an hour or two a week to spend on it. Get a friend or your children involved, or just enjoy your newfound "me" time.

However you go about it, it'll be worth it! You might meet some new people, make new crafts — and you'll definitely discover a new side of yourself. Get going!
