Try Something New

Riddle Me This: Does a busy person have time to start a new hobby?

        Of course you do. What a dumb question. Never make excuses for yourself to not start something new. Excuses get you no where and cause you make bad habits.
     
        Okay breathe. New can be scary, but it cant kill you. Well unless you decide to start skydiving, knife throwing, or chasing tornadoes. Which I think might be fun to try, I'm just saying.

        As well as a full time college student, I play college softball, work, and try to spend as much time with friends and family. Like trying new foods, I push myself to pick up new hobbies.

      My example: I started painting and selling shoes last year. I really just fell into it and just thought that it would be cool to customize your shoes yourself. I was always well rounded in art, but I can agree I was a little timid to paint on shoes.

      If I can do it you can. No one is too busy and you will be surprised the effects a new hobby or skill can have on you. I was surprised how well I did with the shoes and several people contacted me quickly wanting a pair of their own.

Steps:  

• Start with something easy, like taking a walk around your neighborhood every evening. 
• Involve your friends. If you've wanted to try anything that they do, you can count that they will be welcoming to involve you. 
• Start a new TV or book series.
• If you want to spend the money, take classes at a local school or community college.

    In the end starting something new is your decision. Someone will be there to support you and may even join you too. New can open many possibilities, advance your skills, and you can pass on a trade to others.

    Good Luck. "Never give up, never surrender," said Captain Tagger in Galaxy Quest. If you guys need anymore tips or questions on this topic follow me on twitter @SLStrekkie and message me.

Making a Change

Riddle me this: Is giving away your possessions easy?
   
      It may be called spring cleaning, but donating your possessions can be done at anytime. Cleaning out your room or house can relieve stress, make room for new things, and give your home a less sufficating feel.

      The idea of donating your stuff may sound great, but actually doing it, I know from my past experience and probably most people, it can sometimes be not much fun. I sometimes call myself a close hoarder, overexaggerating of course, because I have several close that I never wear or may be wear once a year.

      Okay breathe. Its just stuff and if I can do it, you can. Things can temporarly make you happy, but they don't have a soul or a heart. If it is hard for you to get rid of things then take baby steps.

      Steps:
            1.) Start with shoes. Shoes that dont fit, damaged, or out of fashion can easily go.
            2.) Anything worn, stained, or ripped can go. You want to look your best and old damaged close are not going to cut it.
            3.) Books. I have five bibles and you only need one, so give those others away for someone else to enjoy. If you have books from your childhood that you can part with or the textbooks that you couldn't sell back to college they can go too.
            4.) Have fun while your cleaning. Have a movie or music playing so that your not dwelling on what goes and what stays.
            5.) Have someone help you. Have a parent or friend be there so they push you get rid of things or take stuff of your hands.

      If you follow even one of these steps you will be okay and youll be surprised how refreshed youll be feeling. And youll might make some extra money if you decide to sale your items in a yard sale or thrift shop. $$$$$
