Starting a hobby or revisiting an old one can bring happiness and joy to our lives. Whether painting, gardening, cooking, or playing an instrument, hobbies give us a creative outlet.
Not only do hobbies provide a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, but they can also positively affect our mental health. Engaging in a hobby can reduce stress, improve mood, and increase happiness. Hobbies provide a sense of community and allow us to connect with others who share our interests.
If you need help or are more fulfilled, consider taking up a new hobby or revisiting an old one you used to enjoy. Start small and be patient with yourself as you learn and grow. Your hobby can become a source of joy and inspiration with time and practice. So why not give it a try? You may be surprised at how much you enjoy it!

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future.
Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. Mike is a member of the Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society.
