Five Hobbies for the Perfectionist

Hobbies are meant to lift your spirits, not destroy them.

In my practice, I often hear people ruminating on how desperately they want to find a hobby or outlet for their emotions. Usually, people are able to find the right craft that fits their talents, but I all too often hear people devastated the next week when the project they selected actually made them feel WORSE when it didn’t go to plan. Hobbies like crochet or painting can be incredible emotional outlets and are a great opportunity for exploration. However, if someone is in an emotionally vulnerable space where they aren’t ready for failure, they can totally wreck your mood! Here are some hobbies that I recommend as a starting place if you’re someone who wants a short project to lift your spirits and get your creative energies flowing.
