Dancing

Are you looking for a stress buster or want to showcase your creativity with skills and interests on your resume?

Then dancing is one of the most suitable choices.

Dancing is also one hell of a confidence booster & it’ll increase your Kinesthetic Intelligence.

Plus is super fun to dance your heart out. I don’t know how to dance (your thought right now?) but don’t worry. You don’t have to be a pro overnight.

Dance is not always about getting the moves right, or expressions right. It is merely about letting yourself free to the rhythm of the music and letting go of any other thoughts.

But if you really want, you can start to learn to dance with Youtube videos.

Researchers define creative activities as “an adaptive and robust reaction to the ongoing epidemic” in the study “Meaning-Making Through Creativity During COVID-19,” published in Frontiers in Psychology in December 2020.

Conclusion:

These hobbies can play a vital role in keeping your mental health upright. You need to occupy yourself with some activity wherein you can devote your time and energy.

There can be times when hobbies may feel like just some other distraction and you aren’t able to enjoy them. That is completely okay. We are all allowed to feel what we are going through. That is just as vital as keeping yourself invested in some hobbies.
