Another 365 days have passed and the ball dropped once again. So that means new year, new you… Right? It’s the time of positivity for some, yet simultaneously the time of negativity for others. Why exactly? Because resolutions. Those goals or changes that some people are so gung-ho about, causing others to scoff, turn up their nose and bet on how long until failure.
Whichever end of the spectrum you are on, there is never anything wrong with challenging yourself in the new year. Stepping out of your comfort zone, doing something you’ve always wanted to do, or taking on something completely different can be all kinds of fun and rewarding. Also, the connotation of starting a new hobby is just so much better than that of a resolution.
Implementing a new hobby can be something purely for fun, or it could be to better and challenge yourself. The possibilities are endless. So, below are 19 new hobby ideas for you to consider for 2019.
