90: 6 Hobbies That Can Give You an Immediate Happiness Boost

There’s something magical about this time of year! I love fall, but after the initial excitement of pumpkin-flavored drinks and sweater weather wears off, the shorter days and chilly temperatures can leave me feeling physically and mentally drained. If this is the case for you, too, you’re not alone. As the season changes, it’s natural for our moods to shift too. Experts have confirmed that a decrease in daylight can affect our sleep, energy levels, and social ability.While it’s essential to take steps to protect your mental health all year round, the change in seasons may require extra support. We need to be proactive to prevent the fall and winter blues from setting in.  This year, I’ve decided to make a commitment to protect my mental health by picking up new hobbies that support me in a positive way. Today I want to talk with you about some of the hobbies I plan to take on and I’ve thrown in a few hobbies that I personally won’t be doing but I do think they will be great for you.   TIME STAMPS[02:41] Cooking new soups[04:09] Calligraphy can help boost your happiness[08:23] Why I’m getting back into photography[13:55] Beat your face sis[22:55] Meet my plant babies[34:50] Journaling Support for the Look On The Bright Side Podcast comes from: Jessie Monroe Nail Care:  Visit JessieMonroeNailCare.com and save 20% on your entire order (excluding bundles) with code BrightSide20Resources Mentioned in the episodeShow Notes (here)PLANTSApartment Therapy ft The Plant Doctor (watch)Planterina (watch)Christopher Griffin the @PlantKweenMAKEUPJackie Aina (watch)BeatFace Honey (watch)Destiny Godley (watch)Don't forget to watch the video podcast on  Patreon and visit my blog for additional resources.Connect With Me: Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | My PatreonDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
