Hobbies are fun activities that you can enjoy at your leisure. They generally have nothing to do with work or money, and really allows you to connect to your personal interests. But there is always the issues of finding time and discovering what you really love. Here are some tips on how you can start a new hobby this year.

1. Write down what you love: It may sound simple, but recording what you love can help you connect to what hobby you should try. The list can include your favorite things from your childhood to things you are interested in that you don't have the courage to check out.

2. Make a choice: From your list, pick two things that really 'speak' to you. If it is dancing and writing, think about ways how you can incorporate them in your life. This includes taking a class, practicing writing at home, and having a day party whenever you can.

3. Start small: Now that you know what you want to do, you may still need time to include your hobby in your life. Even just 10 minutes a day is more than what you were doing before.

4. Meeting new people: While your hobby may include more time to doing what you love, it is always wonderful to meet other people that share your passion. Consider going a networking group or taking classes to connect with likeminded individuals.

1. Pick a time to write: Writing is all about consistency. Find a time where you can write at the same time every single day.

2. Pick a set amount of hours to work: Now that you know what time you will be writing, you will also have block out a set amount of time. Consider starting with 20 minutes per and building up to one hour.

3. Turn off distractions: Our cell phones are an incredible way to stay connected; however they can also be awfully distracting when you are trying to write. Turn off all phones during your writing time and do not look at any other browsers, except your writing pad or word doc.

4. Just write: As simple as it sounds, the beginning stages of writing are really just about putting your thoughts to paper. This doesn't have to perfect, or even the exact form that it will end up. The idea of starting is to get your writing juices flowing, which eventually led to more concrete and focused ideas.

5. Find inspiration: Other writers are inspiring and can help you to focus. When you aren't writing, consider attending author readings and join a book club to become immersed in the world of literature and words.

6. Read: Another important aspect of writing to stay sharp. Reading is a great way to soak in characters, learn about other people's style and structure and flex your brain as you think creatively.

7. Edit: During your writing process, find time to go back, check your work and edit your thoughts. You will be amazed what new insight gets created.

8. Show your work: As scary as it may seem, you will have to have your words read. Share them with friends and colleagues that you trust and be prepared to receive some honest and insightful feedback.
