One of the most challenging things people have to deal with on a daily basis is stress. Although some stress in your life can be good for you, too much of it can overwhelm your life and cause your mental health to decline. You need to find ways to fight the stress so you can live a happier life. Sometimes, life doesn’t go as planned. Life isn’t easy at the moment, with the pandemic sweeping across the world, we are dealing with the fallout. Here are some amazing hobbies to try to help you combat the stress for good and learn a new skill while you’re doing it!

Attend yoga classes 

I hear a fantastic hobby you should try to help you fight the stress and worry in your life is to take up yoga. It’s such a great way to unwind and release tension from your body. You can tone and strengthen your body at the same time. You should consider attending an outdoor or online yoga class so that you can follow an instructor. They often have a relaxing section at the end, which will help you to stop worrying about everything in your life. The few times I've done yoga, the end has been my favorite LOL.

Start gardening 

You could also consider gardening if you are looking to get rid of stress from your life. It releases tension and will distract you as you will concentrate on looking after your plants. Lots of people out there have flourishing gardens in this pandemic, which is a brightside. MFD is killing it maintaining my flower beds in Philly. Getting out in the fresh air can also help you to get rid of some stress. Start planting and you will feel a lot calmer while you are outside in your garden. If you are already a plant earth mama then make sure that your garden keeps blossoming!Feed your plants and take care of any issues you've come across. Maybe squash vines are a problem; in that case you can look at how to get rid of squash vine borers. We all want a great garden and it is certainly achievable. Sit out and soak up the sun after you’ve pottered around, the sunshine is great for helping you fight stress and anxiety! 

Learn an instrument 

This is not in my wheelhouse, but it is in many people's. Learning how to play an instrument can also help you fight stress. Playing an instrument is an excellent way to release tension and emotions. It’s a great way to distract yourself if you are worrying as you will have to concentrate entirely on trying to hitting the right notes. Once you know what you want to learn, you can find an instructor to teach you some of the basics. Or you can follow some guides online and download some musical apps to help you to learn how to play. You don’t have to become Mozart but just learning to play a little something can help you fight stress and not think about it as much anymore, it forms as a distraction to your problems which is perfect for people who want to get out of their own mind.
