Do you feel overwhelmed amidst the daily grind? Do you yearn to escape to an imaginary world and enjoy the bliss for a few moments?

You don’t have to spend huge money on expensive vacations.

A few simple activities at no cost can give you tiny moments of happiness. These activities are hobbies. Studies suggest that hobbies contribute to a healthy mind and body.

Here are the five hobbies that give me child-like joy.

Painting

These days, I love to play with colors to draw Paris Cafe images.

It transports me to the cafe ambiance.

Journaling

Creative journaling is surprising with all the colorful washi tapes and stickers.

This YouTube inspired me.

Cooking

I prepare simple recipes (only my favorites) to see the outcome.

The excitement for the result drives me to do cooking.

(Previously, I did not know how to cook).

Learning new skills

Acquiring creative writing skills excites me to explore the art of writing and sprinkle life into lifeless words.

Here are a few skills I am focusing on now.

  • Headline
  • Introduction
  • Storytelling

Writing

I have included the habit of daily writing in the last two years. I have no idea why I am writing. I write because it relaxes my mind.

Simple.

The fun part is that I am not an expert in these hobbies. I feel joyful to explore these activities.

This feeling attracts me to spend time doing my hobbies.

What will you gain by knowing my hobbies list?

This content is a way to tell you to experiment with different hobbies in your daily free time.

You will never feel alone.
