Share a hobby you do or have done
Hi there. Hobbies are fun. They teach us how to express things we cannot express at work or in relationships. They reveal a hidden part of ourselves that is really crying out to be expressed.

Hobby you do that makes you feel good?
Hobby that you have done ?
Hobby that you would like to do. ?
I've been struggling particularly badly with my anxiety in the past couple of weeks, and so I have taken up knitting and crocheting to provide a welcome distraction! I've never tried it before so I'm enjoying starting something new
@impartialTriangle8899 I find that focusing on a task takes me out of the loop of anxiety about things I have no control of.
Keep us updated please on how that is working. Maybe I will take that up!
@soulsings it's definitely helped me so far. As you said, I think it's good to have anything that requires focus, so that I can do that whereas usually I would be overthinking or worrying about something else. Plus I now have a cute little teddy that I have made
@impartialTriangle8899 wow how cute!

@soulsings,
Hobby you do that makes you feel good?
I sew. I get lost when I am watching the needle and the fabric go by in front of my eyes. It is zen. The bummer is that I live in an old apartment building, and noise travels easily. So I have to be mindful of how much noise I am making with my machine. It is an old basic Singer sewing machine and isnt exactly quiet.
Hobby that you have done ?
Ive gardened. When I had a house, I spent a lot of time gardening flowers, herbs, vegetables, trees and shrubs.
Hobby that you would like to do. ?
I would love to garden again. Maybe someday if I can ever own my own house again.
@purpleTree4652 glad you have a sewing machine. You can make a lot of things with them.
I had a balcony on an apartment and I had some 5 gallon buckets with tomato plants and some flowers. It was my mini garden!
Funny, I was just thinking about this.....
Hobby you do that makes you feel good? I love sailing, horseback riding, riding my bike, ice skating, kayaking, painting, photography, writing, gardening, traveling, and hiking.
Hobby that you have done? Currently, I am gardening. I have done them all, but most not in a long time.
Hobby that you would like to do? I would like to start doing all of those. Currently, I think riding my bike, hiking, writing, and photography I could do. The others will probably need to wait until we get covid under control in my area. Thanks for asking the question. I would like to do those things again.
@optimisticRaspberries5247 thanks for sharing those. It is more difficult to do activities outside the house. It just does not feel the same. Kids look at me funny when I walk by as if to say watch out they may have the virus. It is like a wall has gone up.
