New Hobbies for the New Year | Jon Heindel

New year, new you, simple as that. There are many things to try, from little routines to more challenging activities, to help you succeed. In this blog, we will discuss some hobbies you can pick up in the new year. 

Make a vision board

A vision board is a creative way to start the new year by identifying what you want to achieve in 2023. It can be used to plan out your activities and goals, or it can be used to remind yourself about the things that you want to achieve in the future-- be it places you want to travel, academic achievements you would like to achieve, or physical goals you want to keep in mind. You can make your own boards using platforms such as Canva, Piktochart, and Pinterest.

Needlework

Whether your initial goal is to make tangible products or crafts, this hobby can help you achieve success. It teaches various techniques and provides you with fun and creative projects. For instance, embroidery can be used to add a bit of fun to your clothes or create a fashionable look for your bags. There are also plenty of YouTube tutorials that can help you get started.

Painting

Painting can be a fun and creative way to get away from the stressful and time-consuming tasks of day-to-day life. There are plenty of cheap paints and canvases that you can easily find, and you can also follow online tutorials to learn more. This hobby can be used as a time for reflection or to enhance your artistic capabilities.

Journaling

As the semester goes on, taking a break from the usual activities can help keep the positive memories of the year as they happen. This can be done by writing down the best moments of the day or even everyday events that you have been able to experience. There are also websites that provide prompts that can help you write down what comes to mind. It can be a great way to end the day and start the new year by reflecting on what has happened to you.

Photography

Getting into photography can be a great way to start your creative juices flowing, and it doesn't require a lot of equipment, such as a professional camera--you can just use your smartphone! One of the most important factors that you should consider when it comes to picking up this hobby is consistency. Try to set a goal and stick to it, such as setting a goal to take a photo for 50 days. That way, you can look back on your photos and be proud of what you've done and how you've changed!

Watercolor

Watercolor painting is one of the most challenging and intimidating hobbies on this list. However, it is relatively easy to learn. Learning how to paint with watercolor is a liberating experience because it allows you to let go of the control you previously had over the water. If you are busy, this might be the perfect hobby for you. There are plenty of supplies and tips to get started that you can find online.
