On rainy days when it's coming down like cats and dogs and your plans are cancelled, what do you do? There's only a finite amount of TV you can watch till your brain get tired. In such cases, an indoor hobby might be right up your alley. They are perfect when you're stuck inside and want to actually develop a skill, rather than just passing time. Try these 5 hobbies for yourself and by the time monsoon ends, you'll be quite the pro.
1. Calligraphy
Putting pen to paper is a dying art form and calligraphy, even more so. It's one of the most beautiful forms of visual-oriented writing. Watching calligraphy videos is known to be quite the de-stresser so you can only imagine how much more writing it will be. It's a hobby that can even turn into a paid gig as calligraphy is in demand for invitation cards and letters.
2. Reading
Regardless of the season, reading will never go out of style. It's an excellent hobby for adults and children alike, which builds creativity and vocabulary. With the birth of e-book readers, you won't even have to lug heavy books around as you can read your latest novel no matter where you go.
3. Painting
You may not believe you're very good at this but that isn't the point of painting. It's to put paintbrush to canvas and let your mind take control. Painting is an extremely relaxing hobby and if you're good at it, a bonus is that you'll have artwork to hang on the wall to boot.
4. Embroidery
With scissors, stitches and needles being involved, this intricate hobby can seem difficult. But over time if you develop a love for it, you'll see why it isn't. You will get the hang of tedious stitches and they will get neater over time. It's also a wonderful hobby for the mind and an excellent creativity booster.
5. Music
Comments
One of the most refined hobbies is learning a musical instrument or singing. Musical activities have been known to develop cognitive abilities as well. Along with belting out tunes like Mariah Carey or playing up a storm, your brain will also thank you for this.
