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!

Succulent Garden

Just check out how sweet these succulent boxes are! Lately I’m just obsessed with succulents. They make great indoor plants for anyone because they’re easy to maintain and so cute! They make great additions for any home or office and gardening can be a relaxing hobby. All they require is a pot with good drainage, sunlight and a little watering here and there and boom- you’ve got a green thumb and an adorable indoor garden!

Painting is fun and therapeutic, especially if you have an artistic side that’s just been dying to get out! Why not spend a little time painting and see what you can create? You can freestyle or take some lessons online. There are so many free painting tutorials on YouTube to try, just add a bottle of wine and make a night of it.
