We have all been there. The exploration of trying something new, of attempting a new hobby, or of trying to improve our lives. Hobbies are great, they provide a lot of structure and free time, but hobbies also can cause us a lot of stress if we do not know how to prepare for them correctly. As I have explored many hobbies in my life I have come up with a few considerations that I try to keep in mind before starting a new hobby. Whether you are looking to start something you haven't tried before or looking to expand any hobby that you are currently doing, these three considerations should help you get the most out of your choice.
