Welcome back fellow neurodivergent creatives! Today, we're diving deep into a topic that hits close to home for many of us – preventing the dreaded hobby hibernation.
As neurodivergent humans, especially those of us waltzing through life with ADHD, we know the exhilaration of diving headfirst into creative passions, only to find ourselves in a lull later.
In this episode, I'll share my thoughts + actionable tips on how we can keep our hobbies alive and kicking during the cozy fall and winter seasons!
Episode Highlights:
- Why you should try creating mystery boxes for yourself
- How to take advantage of your creative juices (especially when it's flowing in short bursts)
- Staying connected with your hobbies through low-barrier activities
- Setting up household hobby nights
- Why you need to regularly take yourself out on artist dates
- Developing a mindful approach to decluttering your hobby space
Noteworthy Quote:
"Lots of those dormant hobbies, especially the ones that you are no longer really connecting with, may represent good intentions. You know, like a promise you made to yourself, "I'm really going to commit to this thing," and then it just doesn't work out. Not a moral failing; people do that all the time."
