Did you know that there are hundreds of new hobbies and skills that you can enjoy right at home? Below are 4 of our favorite at-home hobbies that can help spice up your daily life.

1. Pick up an Instrument
Learning an instrument at any age can be a great way to expand the mind, find relaxation, and have fun. You can’t imagine the satisfaction of being able to pick up drum sheet music and play your favorite tune. You don’t need to be classically trained to enjoy the pleasures of playing music. You can learn the basics right at home from your computer or an instructional book. You can even book affordable private lessons with experienced musicians once a week or even once a month. With lots of practice, you can continually improve until you sound just like the pros.
If investing in an instrument feels like too much of a commitment, look into local rentals. Many local music teachers even let students borrow their instruments during lessons.
2. Keep a Film Log
While this may not seem like a traditional hobby, analyzing and reviewing films can be a great pastime. There is an art to understanding how a film works, from the technical aspects to the narrative elements and visual storytelling.
Upgrade your film knowledge and put it to work, creating your own Film 101 course. Create your curriculum by choosing films of specified genres and eras, watch and log/review your movies, and compare them all in retrospect. Here are some of the ways you can learn about Film:
● Reading film books
● Reading screenplays
● Podcasts
● Watching interviews
● And more
3. Upgrade Your Home Decor
If you have an eye for the creative, you probably love home projects. A great way to integrate more of these design elements into your life is to try DIY projects. It may not be realistic to undertake major renovation projects every week, but there are hundreds of easy, budget-friendly DIY projects you can do for fun! Spend your free time enabling your creative side by creating fun art pieces and chic new furniture builds to display around the house.
If you need some inspiration, look no further than your friends. Create a group chat or email chain for a DIY swap! Everyone chooses their favorite at-home design project and shares it with the group.
4. Try an Online Dance Lesson
Get in tune with your body by signing up for a digital dance class, shame, and judgement-free! It can be challenging to put yourself out there and take risks in in-person courses. This is one of the significant benefits of digital classrooms. It also means that you can fit your lessons into your schedule. Practice technique at your own pace and return to old classes that you don’t feel confident with.
Dance can be a powerful tool to help people get in touch with their body and their self-image. Taking an online dance class can help you feel more capable, surprise yourself with new skills, and get more physical activity to improve your overall health. And you can do it on a working parent schedule.
