Do you have something that you do for yourself—a hobby that is just for you? That allows you to explore in new ways without pressure? If you don’t, what are you waiting for? We spend so much of our lives focused on work and family … and, often, our own creative endeavors fall by the wayside.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing how I’m resurrecting a hobby of mine: painting. Doodling and art is something I have always loved, and in this season of my life, I’m allowing myself to explore this artistic medium. Not only that, but I’m making time for it. We all have busy lives, and a creative outlet is something you have to actively prioritize.
I’m giving myself permission to explore, try new things, open myself up to more creativity in my life, and I hope this episode inspires you to do the same. Pick up a paint brush, go to a pottery studio, dust off your singing voice … Whatever it is, go for it. It’s worth it to have a hobby that is for you and you alone.
