A new year provides the perfect opportunity to explore a new interest and pick up a new hobby. Aside from learning something new and honing a skill, it can be a lot of fun. More importantly, psychologists say that having hobbies helps people cope with stress.

Starting a new hobby will be the most difficult at the beginning because beginning a task often requires the most motivation. It’s easier to keep going once you’ve started and built momentum. Besides, achieving small wins will give your spirits a boost. In turn, you will feel motivated to engage in your new hobby more often. Whatever your interests are, knitting, model cars, painting, mosaics – the hobby world awaits you!
