Hobbies you’d like to get back into

I’ve started bike riding everywhere and I love it. I felt awful this morning & called in sick to work. Instead of getting myself into a crisis I went on a 5 hours bike ride. And I am feeling a lot better than before I left the house

What’s something you used to enjoy and want to get back doing?

    Ooh that sounds great shaunie I always feel like being out in the fresh air helps. I love to run it helps to clear my head although lately I’ve been injured so not able to run as much. I have got back into reading though and I’m really enjoying it.

    That's lovely to hear @Shaunie hobbies that you can really dedicate your time to are so important everyone needs a way to unwind when you've got free time. As for me I really want to get back into creative writing, it's something that I used to do a ton when I was younger but dropped off of it over time.

    I used to play the trumpet - I'd love to get back into it, but practicing it is a nightmare without annoying the neighbours! :#

    Thank you so much for this thread @Shaunie

    I used to do a lot of creative writing - I particularly enjoyed writing short stories. I even participated in writing competitions. I haven't been able to write nowadays because I'm so busy with studies, so my imagination isn't running as wild as it used to :(

    I also used to read a lot too - I have a pile of books that I need to read, and I haven't touched any of those books in ages :disappointed: I really love immersing myself in a good book ^^ now that I'm in uni, I have to read a lot of long research papers which is boring.

    Hopefully someday I can get back into these hobbies :smile:

    whenever you try a hobby, the door is always open to get back into it whenever you take a break for whatever reason and that's a wonderful thing!!

    i'd like to get back into music, i took a break for my studies and cos i was too stressed to hit the right notes, so then i ended up donating my keyboard to my neice. im glad she gets some enjoyment out of it, but id love to get back into music!! a new keyboard (or a piano, one can dream) would be amazing, but its about outside my price range rn, but i do have a harmonica and a ukulele i bought recently and id love to drop something to find some time to learn to play!

    I really empathise with this @Azziman - I used to play the drums and had the same problem! Also was part of a samba percussion group. But it all sort of dropped off when I had a couple of teachers who sucked the joy out of it. I'd love to get back into that stuff.
    All behaviour is a need trying to be met.
    The truth resists simplicity.
    I no longer work at The Mix! If you need anything, message or tag @TheMix

    I reckon I should try to get back into my knitting, it gave me a lot of solace during the pandemic and gave me something to focus on when I couldn't work, now maybe I could try to look at it more as a bit of fun like doing some once a week =)

    I love the idea of this thread :)

    I used to play acoustic guitar but recently it's just something i've never really found time for, so it's just collecting dust now :') I should change that!
