Enjoy the little things…
Do you think the absence of the hobbies in our lives is affecting our creativity? Have you made an effort to take time out for hobbies?
We all have exciting hobbies. Some convert their hobbies into successful careers while others get busy in their respective lives, forgetting they had any hobby. Maintaining our hobbies is crucial because they act as significantly stressed busters. They relax our mind and body. The heart feels at peace. Our everyday life has become so fast and robotic. It is difficult to spare time these days for hobbies and creativity.
Moreover, the digital world has eaten into our free time. I have seen people enjoying hobbies like painting, listening to music, pottery, sharing jokes, reading and more. The human touch was present.
Sadly, that has now changed. Advanced gadgets have taken away small everyday joys. Instead, we need to work on our forgotten hobbies. Live a simple but happier life by creativity.
I believe that hobbies should be enhanced and encouraged. If a child likes to paint, he could become a famous future painter. Same with story writing can be a best-seller writer. We can’t crush these desires.
I always loved listening to music, reading novels and penning down my thought in a diary. But I took a long break from writing due to my responsibilities. It’s not that I am a professional writer, but writing freed me from my stresses.
Today, I can say that I have started taking out time for my hobbies. I have managed to get some pieces published too.
A big thanks to ‘GULFNEWS’ local newspaper of UAE for giving me this opportunity to enhance my writing skills.
I end my day by reading myself to bed and listening to Quran Audio.
