I have this HVW friend who told me she learns one new thing every year, does a deep dive into it. One year it was a language, another year it was learning to ride horses. Taking the cue from her I've been doing the same for the last couple of years.. The first year I signed up to Salsa on a whim and it introduced me to the world of Latin and Afro Cuban dancing and the bonus was social dancing which helped me get out of the house and interact with others through dancing! Highly recommended joining the lively salsa bachata scene, there are salsa socials all over the world!

The second year I took up fundamentals of drawing and fine art, an intensive course and learning the basics of 'seeing', perception, proportion, lines, light and shadow, changed the way ordinary things looked! I saw lines, shapes everywhere. Recommend that too, and it's such a wholesome practice to sit down with a pencil and paper and create a drawing, and there are some lovely books to read on it too, can recommend if you're interested.

The third year..this one, I accidentally found a beginner's football class for women and I signed up, and it's become my new obsession! I think football is physically demanding but it also forces you to think, be present on the field and play strategically, as any sport does. Not to mention learning all the great ideas that comes with sportsmanship. It consumes your body and mind and you can think of little else while playing a game. Also bonus is meeting a big group of women in their twenties who love sport and some of them are feminists as well! (it's not a common hobby among women so you meet some extraordinary ladies who kick soccer butt)

Overall I would say, keep your eyes open for any opportunity to learn something new and interact with other people, it will be fun, add value to your life and you can apply the learnings elsewhere!

I find most of the things I want to sign up for or try on Instagram, so that would be a good starting point for you, to start following insta pages of local organisations that have classes/events for your interests!

I also believe in trying something even if I never thought we'd like it. I hated running but I agreed to try soccer, I hated partner dances but I tried out salsa and it turns out the old adage, don't knock it till you try it is true! So be brave and try different things out, see what fits.

Let me know what you try out!
