Have you ever felt SUPER excited when signing up for a new activity or starting a new hobby only to find your interest level drop off shortly afterwards? Perhaps it was that elegant barre class that you thought would help improve your posture and sculpt lean muscles, or maybe it was writing short stories with the aim of fostering your imagination and creativity. There are so many fantastic options and it’s likely you have great reasons for wanting to include each one of them in your life, so why does that interest fade?
The following are examples to illustrate some of the reasons why you might be finding it difficult to maintain your new activity and what to do instead.
Taking the time to engage in a social, artistic or physical activity can be a relaxing and rewarding addition to your life. Why not set yourself up for success by approaching activities in the smartest possible way. For some ideas take a look at the Calgary Co-ed Rec Sports page or for crafts meetup page or ask a friend. If you’d like support in stress management and incorporating outlets in your life book a session with a counsellor at Journey Counselling. We are always glad to be able to help you find that balance.
