]]>A Great Excuse to Read
So many of us love to read but find it hard to find time. There are always so many other tasks and duties that require our attention throughout the week that putting aside time to read just isn’t a priority. Having a book to read for a club will help you make time for it and get to enjoy it.
Lovely Way to Socialise
As adults, it’s so hard to meet people and find places to socialize, especially if you aren’t wanting to drink alcohol for whatever reason. Having a space to share a passion for reading with others is the perfect way to enjoy some social activity that suits your lifestyle.

]]>A Cinema Trip
This is much less daunting and is a fun experience. You can choose whichever film you like, and sit wherever you like. Then just enjoy getting all cozy and comfy while enjoying the movie and the overpriced cinema snacks. What better way to spend a solo afternoon?
Going Out for Dinner
This might feel very daunting, but that’s all the reason you should do it. It will be amazing for your confidence to put yourself out of your comfort zone. And it’s a great way to treat yourself to some much-deserved luxury and decadence that’s purely for the purpose of showing yourself a good time.
Visiting an Art Gallery
Art is incredibly subjective, and so often when we experience art with others we unknowingly let others’ opinions affect ours. Visiting an art gallery solo is ideal for just taking the art in and letting it speak to you on a personal level without any interference from anyone else.

So often in the natural spaces around us, there are so many items that can be foraged to be eaten or turned into something. It’s a lovely way to interact with the natural world and it’s an amazing feeling to make a meal out of something you’ve found in the forest.

It’s crucial to know as much as you can about how to identify the right species and how to avoid anything dangerous. Attending a course can give you some basic and essential knowledge about your local area.

]]>A Great Excuse to be Outside
There are endless amounts of research to suggest how beneficial spending time outdoors is for our mental well-being.

Having a goal to go and spot birds is a great way to connect with your local surroundings.

]]>Buy A Sketch Book
The first step is to buy a sketch book for yourself. Owning a sketch book helps you to identify as an artist, and gives you a place to jot down any ideas, doodles or sketches. Opt for a smaller version so that you can carry it with you and transport it easily.
Embrace All Forms Of Art
Sometimes, we’re reluctant to paint or draw because the art we’ve been exposed to is of a traditional or classical style, which prioritizes accurate and realistic portrayals of objects and people. Go to a gallery and seek out the abstract, naive and surrealist works which can introduce you to new ways of doing art.
(@basement_galaxy)Practice Every Day
Like any skill, art needs to be practiced regularly so that you can improve and develop your work. Carve some time out of each day so that you can work on your drawing, painting, modelling, or whatever it is you’re working on artistically.

]]>Find Something You Love
Crocheting and candle making may be trendy right now, but that’s not reason enough to give them a shot. You’ll struggle to commit to a hobby if you’re not really interested in it, so try looking for an activity that sparks joy and hold on for dear life once you find it.
Perfect Schedule
Scheduling everything in your life, including your hobbies, may be excessive, but it’s sometimes the only way to make a commitment. Look for some free time in your busy schedule, and set aside some time for your hobby because you’ll never get around to it otherwise.
Fun Over Money
Many people try to monetize everything they do these days, including their hobbies, but that takes the fun out of them. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself to be exceptionally good at your hobby and make money out of it because you’ll have a hard time enjoying it once you reach that point.
