My Journey of Personal Grooming

A man should have a hobby. It keeps him away from trouble. — — Madeleine Pilaster

Hobbies are activities that distract us from our hectic work schedules and mundane tasks. It boosts our self-esteem and creativity. Painting and drawing are not examples of hobbies. It can be anything that improves problem-solving skills, such as chess, Sudoku, and word problem games, or that promotes creativity, such as calligraphy, photography, knitting, embroidery, writing, painting, and drawing.

You may be wondering why we should pursue a specific hobby and how we should select one from a list of options. Everyone enjoys their hobbies. However, when you combine your passion with your interests and skills, it will become your job. A hobby is not the same as what you do for a living. It may be your personal choice, but you don’t want to make money from it; instead, you want to inspire those around you.

I am a writer by passion, and I decided to embark on this journey to share my thoughts and ideas with people all over the world. I’m also honing my public speaking skills in preparation for a leadership position with Toastmasters International. The thing is, once you start doing something you enjoy, you will be motivated to learn more and more. I understand that life is a beautiful journey of learning and that learning should not be stopped.

I recall that in March 2020, while visiting Dharmshala with my family, I decided to go paragliding at the world’s second-best location, Bir Billing Paragliding. I was astounded by the scenic beauty of Bir Billing and its paragliding. I know that going paragliding gave me the confidence to take on new challenges. As a homemaker, I began my second inning with writing, blogging, and video-making after 12 years of marriage. All of these activities are now a part of my daily routine. These are not only my hobbies but also productivity boosters.

If I say I enjoy photography, this is my second favourite pastime. Whenever I plan a vacation, I always carry my Canon DSLR with me so that I can capture the beauty of this beautiful world and relive that moment in my life. I enjoy photographing flowers, birds, insects, mountains, and waterfalls.

I know that whatever our minds tell us, we start focusing on that, whether it’s sketching or drawing, which I enjoy doing in my spare time. You are aware that I work around the clock. Every day, I like to keep myself busy by learning new things. I strongly believe, “I am improving every day in every way.”

To summarise, I would like to say that paragliding assisted me in flying in the sky because I wanted to progress beyond that level. It enabled me to accept the challenge and overcome all odds. Photography allows me to feel abundant because nature has provided us with so much, and we should be grateful to the Almighty for that. It was a great sign from God to begin writing and inspiring those around me. Now I’m honing my public speaking skills in preparation for a leadership position. When you set a goal for yourself, you begin to focus on it and move an inch closer to it every day.

Choosing hobbies can help us improve our confidence, decision-making skills, problem-solving abilities, creativity, time management, and self-management, as well as help us find “me-time” for ourselves.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on my blog and how hobbies contribute to personal grooming and personality development.
