Spoke 14: Reignite meaningful joy by savoring spirit-lifting hobbies.
Have you ever been so immersed in an activity that time seemed to stop, your concentration kicked in, your consciousness vanished, and it felt blissful?
Doing meaningful work for your own sake, away from deadlines and expectations, is pure joy. So why do our spirit-lifting hobbies often get kicked to the back-burner?
One problem is that many of us in the workforce think that there isn’t time in such a busy day for something as frivolous as a hobby; we have “more important” things to deal with. Maybe you’ll take up painting when you retire.
When we do have a break from our stressful day, we gravitate toward the most effortless decompression: social media, television, web-surfing, etc. These things are fine in moderation, but they’re not bringing you joy.
A spirit- lifting hobby is active, engaging, and energizing, and we rise a notch every time we do it. You may not have one yet, but it’s never too late to start. In Reinvent the Wheel I present some tips for finding, prioritizing, and nurturing hobbies that uplift and reignite.
