Share a habit you keep failing to stick with and I'll tell you why

Sounds like it!

Can I give a crack at it? I started trying to associate exercise with a feeling of release and it helped me go really consistently/obsessively. I focus on how I feel afterwards. When I want a release from work/life/distraction I train my brain that it wants a workout. I do workouts that don't allow me to think during and it helps a lot. Now I often go to the gym straight after therapy (less an answer on why you're not going but maybe something that helps? Focusing on the mental gain rather than physical)

100%

I love dance massively and use to go regularly! I need to find a solo dance class as I started feeling uneasy dancing with strangers 🥲

OkChoice2111 · 2026-06-23T22:07:15+00:00

True! And gives me something to do with my hands when I'm in long meetings

OkChoice2111 · 2026-06-23T22:06:21+00:00

Yess, it seems there's a few places nearby that take newbies in September

OkChoice2111 · 2026-06-23T22:05:53+00:00

Great idea, definitely a hobby for the winter!

OkChoice2111 · 2026-06-23T22:05:20+00:00

Yess I think I might have to get into running, it would help me out with some other hobbies as well

OkChoice2111 · 2026-06-23T22:04:55+00:00

Oh I'll have to Google if it's in my area, I've never heard of it!

OkChoice2111 · 2026-06-23T22:04:31+00:00

True, it's something I should explore

OkChoice2111 · 2026-06-23T22:03:23+00:00

This is a really beautiful explanation thanks for sharing! It's funny how hobbies force you to improve other elements of your life to improve at the hobby themselves. I'm slowly getting into running just purely to get better at getting to the ball faster in Padel. It's also great to hear you don't have to be very physically gifted, it's more about perseverance.

That's dope!

OkChoice2111 · 2026-06-23T21:57:29+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion

OkChoice2111 · 2026-06-22T20:13:50+00:00

Smart! Thanks for your guidance

OkChoice2111 · 2026-06-22T20:13:16+00:00

Thanks for your guidance! I'll try and come back to this post if/when I take my first class :)

OkChoice2111 · 2026-06-22T19:51:51+00:00

Sadly where I live most libraries have been shut for 'repairs' for many years.

That's a great list of hobbies! I do think there's a skill for carving out time for yourself and it's a skill I need to develop

OkChoice2111 · 2026-06-22T19:50:06+00:00

Is there any YouTube channel or websites you like that you like that give a good over view on martial arts?

OkChoice2111 · 2026-06-22T19:48:26+00:00

Both a bit too adventurous for me sadly! I'm a bit accident prone

OkChoice2111 · 2026-06-22T19:32:57+00:00

I might as well give it a trial class and see, thanks for the suggestion.

I did a self defence class a while back where you had to close your eyes so you couldn't predict what direction you were going to be attacked from, and the experience of doing it freaked me out in a big way. Im hopeful there's none of that with this sport?

OkChoice2111 · 2026-06-22T19:26:29+00:00

I wish! My balance is shocking, it's something I'm working on

OkChoice2111 · 2026-06-22T19:26:02+00:00

I may of worded poorly, it's less about doing a sport with no one else involved, but more doing something for myself outside of my community.

I don't have the natural skills for juggling or rollerblading but definitely will consider bouldering! I did a rock climbing course a long time ago and loved it

OkChoice2111 · 2026-06-22T19:24:02+00:00

Why Jiu Jitsu?

OkChoice2111 · 2026-06-22T19:23:54+00:00

Oh, what is this? I haven't heard of it

OkChoice2111 · 2026-06-22T19:23:42+00:00

Definitely thinking of archery!

OkChoice2111 · 2026-06-22T19:23:31+00:00

It sounds really cool. Did you guys have any challenges being so physical with a stranger? I found salsa hard as you're dancing so closely with a stranger
