  • 6 Best Hobbies to Pick Up During Quarantine Season

    17 December 2020


    6 Best Hobbies to Pick Up During Quarantine Season

    In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the national government has enacted a series of community quarantines to combat its spread. With heavy restrictions on travel and discouragement of lingering in public spaces, people now spend more time indoors. As a result, hobbies are fast becoming a way to pass the time while in quarantine.

    If you’ve ever wanted to try a hobby but never had the opportunity to, you might want to make the most out of your newfound time and take this chance. Not only can a hobby occupy your idle moments at home, but it can also allow you to pursue something productive and fulfilling.

    Below are some of the best hobbies to pick up during quarantine:

    1. Photo or video editing

      For people who enjoy learning or building on their skill set, photo or video editing is the perfect quarantine hobby. From learning how to bring out the best elements in a photo or clip to creating artful collages and composite works, the sky’s the limit on boosting your creativity and mastery of a digital tool.

      There is plenty of photo and video editing software available online, making it an easy hobby to start. After deciding on software, start looking for online tutorials and resources. With enough practice, you’ll have an output you’re sure to be proud of. You might even want to edit photos of your previous trips or make short clips of some of your favorite moments pre-quarantine!

    2. Sewing

      Sewing is a very versatile hobby. You can alter or repair clothes, update old pieces into something more wearable, and even create something new from scratch.

      You can either find yourself a sturdy and reliable sewing machine or opt to learn hand sewing techniques. Practice on scraps of fabrics first to test out the fundamentals before moving onto a goal, like flipping a thrift store find or creating a custom polo. Once you’ve built up your skill and confidence, you can start taking on projects of increasing difficulty.

    3. Baking or cooking

      These days, dining out can be risky for your health. It’s no surprise that cooking and baking at home have become popular quarantine hobbies. Homemade dishes and treats are delicious and cheaper to make than ordering takeout; plus, you can tweak flavors to your liking.

      Scour the net for recipes you want to try—it can be a favorite dessert, a restaurant dish you want to recreate, or even something you’ve never tried before. With enough experience in the kitchen, you might even want to consider selling your dishes or desserts for extra cash.

    4. Dancing

      Even while at home, it’s good to stay active and maintain your physical health. One way to make working out more engaging is to pick out more fun exercises. Dancing provides several benefits: it helps condition your body, improves your coordination and balance, and makes staying active feel less like a chore.

      YouTube offers a wealth of tutorials and step-by-step choreography videos for various genres like hip-hop and K-pop. If you haven’t had any experience in dancing, try to pace your progress each day. An hour a day may not seem much at first, but staying committed to it will help you improve your health and your performance later on.

    5. Scrapbooking and journaling

      Scrapbooking and journaling are great ways to preserve photos and other memorabilia, as well as giving yourself a space to express your thoughts and feelings.

      Scrapbooking can also be a great bonding activity with you and your loved ones. Spend time together sifting through old photos and sharing the stories behind them. Decide on how these old photos can be put together with memorabilia and decorations. The result will be a one-of-a-kind scrapbook that is a positive memory in itself.

      Journaling, on the other hand, is more of a solo activity that lets you focus on what’s going on in your life. You can choose to express your current thoughts to let go of negative feelings or add a photo or item to help you talk about happier memories. There shouldn’t be any pressure to write or complete your journal; it’s meant for you to fill it at your own pace.

    6. Knitting

      Knitting is another excellent way to create things and express your creativity. With the right pattern and technique, you can make clothes, accessories, and even home decor. Once you get the hang of it, knitting can feel like second nature, allowing you to do it while reading, watching your favorite Netflix shows, or even relaxing with the family.

      Knitting supplies like needles and yarn are readily available online. Just like sewing, you can look up patterns and stitches to practice before moving on to bigger projects.

    Keep Safe and Sane, One Hobby at a Time

    Until the vaccine for the virus is made available, going out in public can still pose a risk to your health. Finding good hobbies to pick up during quarantine can help improve your physical and mental well-being, all from the comfort and safety of your home. If you struggle with self-learning, consider looking for digital classes or Zoom sessions with professionals through your local gym pages or wellness plans.

    Get the protection you need even amidst the COVID-19 crisis with BPI AIA. To learn more, book an online appointment with a Bancassurance Sales Executive today.
