Time for Hobbies!

When I started my business, I made the choice to give up some of the hobbies I enjoyed to make more time for my business to flourish. I've most recently started to pursue those forgotten hobbies - and it's reminded me of what a journey life can be! 

Going forward, I am going to make more of an effort to pursue my passions outside of work, hoping to create a little more balance in life.

What about you? How are you making time for hobbies in 2025 (and beyond)?

    I LOVE this post!! Such a break from the norm...

    I too sacrificed and still do continue to sacrifice A LOT of my personal time and endeavors in order to keep going in multiple ways. However, I started ice climbing and mountaineering a few years ago and fell in love with it. 
    Now I use it a reward and refresher when things are too heavy on me! 

  • For me it is travel.  I never per say gave it up, I just would like more of it.  :) 

  • I really love this post that you made. A few years ago I got really into doing art by first trying painting on my own and then taking some art classes while in college. I have since continued my art journey and have been doing watercolor for about two years. I hit a plateau with the watercolor stuff and even passed up a chance to do an art battle recently. However, I have been drawing again and it helps me relax and unwind after a stressful day at work.
