This is my new series called ‘Monthly Hobby’. In this series, I discuss hobbies/skills that I learnt throughout the month for the mind, body and soul.
During this COVID-19 pandemic, everyone has been told to stay at home. However, where I live, it is still okay to go out for exercise or essential travel. So, for my February 2021 monthy hobby for the ‘body’ I decided to go out for a walk every day. In this article, I will share experience, evaluation, advice and rating for this hobby.
My Experience:
- I would take safety precautions of COVID-19 and go out mostly in the mornings by myself and walk around my neighbourhood.
- In the mornings, when I went out it was quite tranquil, gave me time to think, time to spend in nature and see the sunrise. It was also very quiet.
- If I was going out in the afternoon, it would mostly be with my mother, so I got to chat with her.
- It definitely helped in some ways e.g. change of environment.
What I Learnt/What Went Well:
- I had quite mixed emotions to this.
- I could listen to something outside when I was by myself and when with my mother, I could have my own private conversation with her.
- It lets you be around nature which usually makes one happier.
Even Better If:
- I didn’t do it consistently for 30 days which is completely fine.
- It may have been nice to stick to the same time every day to walk.
- I could have had a certain playlist to listen to when going out.
My Advice:
- Incorporate some time in your routine to go out and add it to your daily to do list.
- Make a playlist so you know what to listen to when you go out.
- Reduce the friction to go out by having everything ready e.g. your face mask.
My Rating:
I would rate this hobby a 3/5.
It is a very simple habit!
