Hobbies and Motivation!
This is Motivational March and so I wanted to discuss with you about your hobbies and what motivates you to get started!
Often I find it hard to motivate myself and so I might look at doing other things for a while. If I am in a 'hobby slump' and just want to find another project then that is exactly what I do. So often I might have many 'WIP' work in progress.
I also know sometimes I look at all my yarn and knitting needles and groan! I love knitting but sometimes I just want to watch tv! I found my mojo when I wanted a new beanie hat, it was something I could easily knit AND watch tv lol! And, of course I got a warm hat :)
So please take a moment to answer the following questions, of perhaps just read and think about them.
? Could you please tell me how you motivate yourself to spend time on your hobbies?
? Which hobby do you feel motivates you the most?
? Which hobby do you find the most rewarding?

I don't know if this thread is still active, but what I do know is that hobbies need be intrinsically motivating and show progression - looking for financial reward takes the intrinsic bit away and you end up with another stressor. The previous post about meditation is a good example of hobbies with motivation and seeing results built-in. I would add yoga nidra to that, one of my own pasttimes. Or pursue something truly unique where the novelty factor is enough of a driver -gravefinding, genealogy research or trig-bagging.

Could you please tell me how you motivate yourself to spend time on your hobbies?
Right now I am struggling as it's too hot so I have talked to some friends and they asked me to make some things for them
? Which hobby do you feel motivates you the most?
Writing! I like to write songs and poems and novels. And making things for others.
? Which hobby do you find the most rewarding?
Ha, well that would be making things for others too, birthday cards. Teddy bears, jewellery, special energy bracelets.
? Could you please tell me how you motivate yourself to spend time on your hobbies?
I think of how I will feel doing it and after it's done for the day.
? Which hobby do you feel motivates you the most?
READING BOOKS
? Which hobby do you find the most rewarding?
Reading or writing.
@charmingSky5972 what do you write?
@CocoaCassie
I am skilled at writing poetry and occasionally journaling.
@MistyMagic
Could you please tell me how you motivate yourself to spend time on your hobbies?
I try and find a goal, a target, usually making something for someone
? Which hobby do you feel motivates you the most?
Finishing a project so I can gift it to someone for their birthday or just to say thank-you
? Which hobby do you find the most rewarding?
Rewarding is difficult as they all do and if they don't then I stop
