Unlike the projects you had to hand in at school, you don’t get graded on a hobby. They are meant for your pure enjoyment. If you get something right, then take pride in accomplishing a project. If it doesn’t turn out like the plans, then shrug it off and start all over. Of course, not all hobbies involve creating something. The only “rule” is that you have fun while you’re doing it. Here are some terrific ideas for starting a new hobby:

A Club

A club can be for books, movies, baking, sewing or wine tasting. What makes it different than just a gathering of friends is that there is a regular time and specific purpose. Beyond that, pretty much anything goes in terms of topics. Clubs work best when the “members” rotate responsibilities like the place where everyone meets or setting up the agenda. Clubs can be as big or as small as you want to make them. The goal is to come together to share common interests. Sounds like fun.

Calligraphy

Writing letters is getting to be a lost art. When was the last time you actually wrote a letter? Calligraphy is the art of specialized writing. There are many calligraphy patterns online that can help you explore your creative side with this artform. It helps if you already have good penmanship. Once you master the skill, you might be able to hire out your services to write invitations, cards or letters. That’s a nice little side business you can run right out of your home.

Embroidery

Embroidery is one of those meditative skills that keeps your hands busy while you’re watching TV or listening to music. It allows you to enhance clothing, hats, gloves and pillows with intricate designs. What you embroider can serve as decorations for your home or gifts to someone special.

Meditate

Meditation has been shown to improve concentration, will power and will boost your immune system. Additionally, it can decrease stress, depression and anxiety. All of that can come from just sitting still and quieting your mind. There are meditative guide programs you can download to your phone. Or you can listen along to a meditation podcast. Once you’ve mastered the techniques, you can mediate pretty much anywhere.

One thing all these hobbies have in common is that it will help to clear space in your home to get them started. If a club is meeting, then you want all the clutter gone.
