How can dreams and goals be a part of life with the hobbies we already have?
From the time we are little to the time we go away to college for our careers what happens? We have fun, we have goals and aspirations and things that we want to go after. Hobbies and the like, if that is what you want to call them. When we have goals and dreams, how do they come to be, is it because we try to do the things that we enjoy and the more we do them the more we get out of them. Or is it because we want something in life so much that that is what we go after, in terms of a dream and then set a goal to attain it by a certain point? Yes it could be, and for most people it probably is. Dreams and goals for people can be the same thing if that is what they want it to be. So can dreams and goals be a part of life with the hobbies we already have? Yes they can, and actually are, when we think about it. The reason for this is, when we do things as hobbies that we enjoy the more we do them the more we can make them a part of life through a dream and get to where we want with them. Take writing for example, if you want to be a writer you have to practice, well the same goes for blogging or playing a sport and getting to what I like to call the big leagues when it comes to sports, if you don’t practice what you want in life you won’t get it. That is how I look at it anyway.

The UpDown Of Living
When we live life how do we do it exactly? Do we do it in such a way that we are moving constantly in an up down motion? Is that a thing? If it is a thing what is it all about? Well, constantly moving and living your life in a way that works for you. Do the things that you enjoy, get outside if you like to do that, read or get together with friends once a week or something. Do the things that you enjoy for your life, and the way that you relax. Remember that living life and the ups and downs of living life isn’t a bad thing . sure it might seem like it because of the word down, but it could mean that you are taking time to relax and do your own thing rather than what other people want you to do. Now I am not saying don’t do what people ask of you, I am just saying that you need to be in control and do the things that bring you joy. There can be a multitude of things that bring people joy and it is not going to be the same for each person since we are all different even if we live in the same house.

Is One Hobby Better Then The Other
When we think about lives and the things that we do in them for relaxation do we think one thing is better than something else? Or do we think that it is all the same thing? Can one hobby be as good as something else or is one hobby usually better than the other? Have you ever thought about that when you do the hobbies that you enjoy? Most people are probably saying yes and that is why we do one hobby over the other because either it's more fun, it's easier or it's just routine and that is what we like to do the most. With any hobby being something that we really enjoy, how many of them are we doing at the same time or are we doing more than one at the same time? If we have time for more than one hobby at a time we are probably doing multiple at a time. Yet is that too time consuming, too brain taxing or do you find that fun? Have you ever done more than one hobby at once and if so how did that make you feel? I have done more than one hobby at a time. I sometimes read or write and watch television so that is doing two of my hobbies at once. Now I know some people might not like that, but to other people doing two hobbies at the same time helps them relax and calm their nerves.

My Hobbies Are What For Living The Way That I Do
I live a life of reading and writing, which in turn means my hobbies are as follows: I love to write and read. When I was younger I was told at the age of six by a substitute teacher that I couldn’t read. My question is which six year old kid can actually read properly without having to sound out words? Not very many of them unless they were really taught by their parents before school. Now I am not saying that kids aren’t but I started school at the age of four, and learning things like reading happened at school. So it was hard but sounding out words at the age of six is how you learn how to read and I was doing just that, and the substitute teacher said I couldn’t read. However, a cousin who was in my class at the time, took me into the corner after she told the teacher that I could read and read the book with me. So ever since then I read all the time, I have a huge bookshelf with overflowing books. I read for at least twenty minutes or more a day, just to wind down. I have read my entire bookshelf at least twice and I have just added four more books to it that I am waiting to read because I am really into my iphone books right now.

Hobbies And Life Are Fun Aren't They
Fun is meant to be a part of life, isn’t it? Yes it is and what is the best way to have fun in life? So yes fun is meant to be a part of life, and the best way to have fun in life is to do it through your lifestyle and the hobbies that you do. If your hobbies aren’t fun for you then why are you doing them, that is the question that I always ask myself. When I ask myself this question I come up with a list, and this list includes getting outside when there is sun or the weather is nice, watching your favourite show, or reading your favourite book. Making friendship bracelets if you find that fun. Just to name a few. When you live life and make it fun you do so by doing the things that you enjoy to do, what I listed above for example. Or watch your favourite movie or television show. Remember life isn’t all about work so when you put hobbies into your life that is where the fun comes in because if you are having fun with something you are usually doing a hobby and not thinking about work.

Is Life Just A Mix Of Hobbies That Make It What It Is?
When we look at our lives, what do we think that they are made up of? Are they made of things that we need to do or things that we enjoy like our hobbies for instance? Life can’t always be about work and no play as we all say, or at least I have been saying that for years. Now I am not saying that we don’t need to work to make money so that we have it, but what I am saying is we can’t always work, we need to do things that help us relax and regroup from it too. What is life exactly? Have we ever really asked ourselves this, or do we just live the way we think we should? What I mean by that, is doing our jobs because we have too and trying to make sure we have some downtime too. Now I am sure some people are thinking of downtime as going on vacation and that could be one way to look at it, but you don’t always have to go places to do a hobby. I think I have actually mentioned that before, but I will again, you can stay home and do your hobbies and have just as much fun with them as if you were out somewhere. If life is just a mix of hobbies what does that even mean? That means, that you are doing things that you enjoy to do, in the way you live your life to give it purpose and meaning. That could be getting out in nature, or reading to relax or to do projects to sell at markets or to your friends that type of thing.

What Is The Meaning Of Self-Care
When we think of self-care a million different meanings come to mind don’t they? Yes they do because each person has a different meaning for what self-care means to them. Some people might say that self-care is being alone with their own thoughts, some might say it is going out with friends to lunch or dinner or even a coffee date. Some might even say self-care is getting their nails done or their hair, or even taking a bubble bath? But what exactly is the meaning of the word self-care? Self-care is the practice of taking action to improve one's own health and it is the practice of taking an active role in improving one's well- being and happiness in particular in times of stress. Now those are the definitions I found when I looked it up, this in turn means doing anything that makes you feel good is a form of self-care. Self- care is something that has always been around and it is something that will always be around considering our lives become more stressful as the years go on, at least that is what I notice.

Can Hobbies Be Done With The Weather
When you do certain hobbies during certain times of year do you have to contend with weather? If so, does that deter you from doing certain hobbies? Or does it make you want to do more hobbies? Hobbies can be done with anything, weather included you just have to believe that they can and they will be. If you have hobbies that you enjoy doing outdoors then if the weather allows you to go out and do them, you will feel amazing when you do so. The more you put the hobbies you enjoy into the weather that is happening at the time, the more vitamin D you will get and if you are someone who needs vitamin D in the winter and gets outside, when it is sunny do something fun like walking or even shovelling the snow if that needs doing. I am not very into shovelling the snow but I know that it needs to be done and I will do it just so that I get some fresh air. The more fresh air in the winter the better I feel so I try to be able to do hobbies like swinging on the swing that type of thing. I also really enjoy re-organizing my room and things in the winter.
