It can be easy to focus all your time and energy on doing things that earn or save money, especially during a financially stressful time. However, it is just as important (or maybe even more important) to do the things you love, even if it doesn’t put extra money in your pocket.
Think of some things you love to do. Maybe you enjoy playing the guitar or being in nature. Perhaps you like to spend time cooking or playing games with family. Whatever your favorite things may be, just thinking about them probably made you smile!
When you're doing the things you love, you typically feel excited or joyful. You may even laugh more often. When this happens, you may also feel less stressed due to the decrease in stress hormones and increases in feel-good hormones in your body.
Hobbies can also provide stress relief. Engaging in simple pastimes expands your focus, activating areas of the brain you may not use during your day-to-day activities. This increased stimulation can increase happiness and improve learning, memory, motivation, and productivity. How much improvement is possible? Studies have found that activities like doodling increase memory by up to 29%!
