2020 may have been a year full of adversities. The global pandemic and the unusual situation may have put things on hold. 2021 can bring out the best in us and has a chance to transform us. Indulging in hobbies is great to keep us busy. If you are looking for some decent hobbies to try out, look no further!

Here are 7 exciting and interesting hobbies that I have highlighted that you could try out in 2021.


  1. Reading books – Reading is a great pastime, and it can help us in many ways. Reading can relax us and helps us keep calm. It can also help in improving our vocabulary. Reading can make us visualise and imagine what is happening and can create a picture in our minds. Reading helps us focus and concentrate more.
  2. Audiobooks and Podcasts – Like audiobooks and podcasts? There are various audiobooks and podcasts to have a listen to. Audiobooks are books but instead of reading the book, you're listening to it. Audiobooks and Podcasts are compelling and enjoyable to listen to which can give you an insight into what they are talking about. Audiobooks and Podcasts can also be a powerful learning source. Whatever you’re doing from exercising or just simply relaxing and taking some rest, it is great.

  3. Exercise – Exercising can very much keep us going. It can greatly improve our health. We all need to be engaged in some sort of physical activity such as walking, running, or cycling or even indoor exercise such as home workouts. Start exercising, then gradually you will see a positive transformation to your health.



  4. Board games – Getting bored? Try board games. Board games are a nice and simple way to feel entertained. Board games such as Chess, Monopoly, and Connect 4 are thought to help with our ability to think, communicate and boost our decision making. 

  5. Playing a musical instrument – Playing a musical instrument can enhance your creativity as you are producing some music from scratch. Learning how to play a particular song and then mastering it, can create a sense of achievement and feel good about yourself. The sound of the musical instrument can also imbue a sense of peace and tranquillity. 


  6. Professional development – The internet can be a great source for learning new things and gaining new information which you may find interesting. This can help in expanding your knowledge of a particular topic. There are plenty of online learning resources out there to have a go at to help you refine your knowledge and skills.  

  7. Cooking – Cooking is an important life skill that we all need to have. Cooking can spark your creativity by coming up with some fresh new ideas on what to put in your dishes. Foods that are cooked are generally healthier than compared to those ready meals or processed foods that contain a high amount of salt. Consuming foods that contain a high amount of salt can increase your risk of high blood pressure. Did you know that cooking can improve your time management skills? When it comes to making food, you do have to be wary of the time. Undercooked food could lead to food poisoning and overcooked food could result in the loss of vital nutrients from the food. 


To wrap up

These are some hobbies and things that you could try to brighten up your year. Engaging in different hobbies and activities can increase your productivity. Are there any hobbies and interests that you like?

Why you should wear a helmet when riding a bike

Riding a bike is fun, enjoyable, and a great exercise to do. A bike can also be a great transport and can take us from A to B. Riding a bike has many benefits. There are some things to consider before going on a bike. One thing which is important to consider is to wear a helmet. A helmet acts as a shield around the head in an event of a bike accident and if that is not worn a risk of an injury is highly likely. The head is the heaviest part of the whole body, and that is more likely to fall first.

Why is water so important?

About 71% of the Earth’s surface is covered with water. It is one of the most important substances on the planet, and all living creatures depend on this for basic survival.   We humans and other living creatures need water for our bodies to function normally. Did you know that about 60 to 70 per cent of the human body is water? This substance can benefit us in many ways, such as regulating body temperature, aiding digestion, helping in maintaining blood pressure, prevent dehydration, and much more. Being dehydrated can cause us to feel exhausted and can also worsen our moods. Animals on the other hand, also need water. Like humans, they also need water to help regulate their body temperature, to prevent their body from overheating and to aid digestion. Furthermore, water provides a home for many aquatic animals in the form of lakes, rivers, ponds, seas, and other water forms.  Water is also extremely important for plants. They require...
