I think all of us should have some kind of practice. Something we do that we enjoy. We don’t necessarily have to be good at it. Just enjoy what we are doing. I find it helps me get out of my own head. I try to find things other than writing.
My husband enjoys fly fishing and tying his own flies. He is a prime example of repetition making you better. I remember one time we were out together and someone asked him if they could photograph him casting his line. I thought that was so cool!
I find myself looking to do things that are not related to writing. Especially if I get stuck. You have seen the photography I have done. Gardening is another thing I enjoy. I like helping things grow and thrive (although with our limited sun they are not very happy and I’m not sure what to do to help them).
There is so much out there to experience… even without going far. Some people enjoy origami. I have a tiny crane that a friend made me from a sugar packet. I also have a dollar bill that has been folded into a ring by a carnie that I met (carnival worker). That is something from another country that one could try that is fairly simple to learn.
Others enjoy cooking. Mom and I are of this ilk. I remember she planned a whole Indian meal for a party (India Indian not American Indian). It was amazing! Then there were the Formula One brunches when I was growing up. Everyone would come over on Sunday to watch the race. Mom would pull together some wild recipes for everyone to graze on while the race was on.
There is so much out there to try! What do you do? Or what would you like to try? If it’s something you’d like to try why don’t you take a step toward that? Look up instructions online or look up to see if you can take a class somewhere.
Let me know what you do and what happens. I would be excited to hear your results!
Cheers!

Frankly I do like coocking too, but I prefere to play the clarinette and the saxofone. I also play in a band, go to the gym, like gardening, mountanering, and cycling (without motor).

Very cool! My husband did sax and French horn in high school and has always had a hidden passion for sax. What kind of band do you play in? I have a problem with heights so mountaineering might be not so good for me! I am seriously thinking about trying running. It will come down to money to get the right shoes.

I play on our local brass band🙈 it’s great fun though mainly young folks and me old buff. I like running too. It’s sad if money is a running issue…

That I’d fabulous! Go you! Sadly money is an issue for most things right now. Including doctor visits. BUT be that as it may… I will try to save up for some decent running shoes and see what I can do. 😁

Cross my fingers that you’ll manage. I am lucky in this regard, I am a civil servant with little to worry regarding this side.

Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this
blog. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s tough
to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and visual appearance.
I must say that you’ve done a very good job with this.
In addition, the blog loads very fast for me on Chrome.
Excellent Blog!
