Winter Hobbies: Journaling

Journaling has so many benefits, including goal setting, manifestation and stress relief. I use journaling every day, throughout the day. I start my mornings writing down what I am grateful for and set a few intentions for the day. And I journal throughout the day if I come up with an idea. I also keep a long-term and short-term goal journal. Putting it all down on paper affirms your goals and ideas and helps inspire you! It’s a very powerful tool everyone should try writing is one of the best winter hobbies.

Improve Your Handwriting

This is one hobby I have got to try! I have terrible hand-writing (it’s actually embarrassing) from years of being a journalist, my hand-writing is so fast and sloppy, literally only I can understand it. Learning how to print neater or master calligraphy or script is an awesome skill you’ll want to show off!
