Are You Good at Self-Reflection? 5 Simple Steps to Start Your Practice
Self-reflection.
When was the last time you truly paused to understand yourself?

One Positive Action
Reconnect with an Old Hobby
Sometimes, life pulls us so far forward we forget where we’ve been. Those hobbies you used to love? They’re still there, waiting for you. That guitar gathering dust in the corner, the half-finished sketchbook tucked away in a drawer, or the sewing kit shoved to the back of the closet; it’s all still part of you. And maybe it’s time to give them a second look.
Pick one thing, just for a few minutes. Not to be great at it, not to show anyone, but just to remember why it mattered to you. Strum a few chords, sketch a random shape, or stitch something small. You’ll probably feel pretty rusty. You might not even remember where to start. But the point isn’t perfection, it’s reconnection.
Those old hobbies are like time capsules of joy. They’re reminders of a version of you that didn’t worry so much about doing things “right.” They were about creating for the sake of creating, and maybe even losing yourself in the process. Let that feeling come back, even if just for a moment.
And who knows? You might rediscover a little piece of yourself you thought you’d lost. Or you might just smile at the memory and tuck it away for later. Either way, it’s worth the time.
