S01E18 - Love Yourself Through Hobbies

Carry On with Criselda

In your daily effort of working on your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to become a better version of yourself, do you sometimes find yourself tired? Do you sometimes wish you could quiet the thoughts that keep you from the peace that you seek? Consider a hobby to distract you, even for just a moment. I will go over the many benefits that a hobby brings to your life and mind. When you are immersed in a hobby you love, even though it doesn’t really feel like work (since it’s enjoyable), it actually is working toward your mental health. It energizes your creativity and imagination and gives you a sense of purpose. It also quiets our minds from the thousands of thoughts we have daily since hobbies can be meditative. If you don’t have a hobby, I’ll give you some ideas on different ones you can take up. The important thing is to make time for your hobby. Your mind needs an occasional break, and a hobby gives you the rest, peace, and clarity that you seek.
