Creative challenge: learn something new

Photobucket

It has been a while since my last creative challenge, but this week I am up for something new again:

The challenge: Do something that you have been willing to learn, for half an hour every day.

This challenge is about making an effort to take up something you would love to learn, but never make the time for. It can also be something you have started to learn, but never continued because progress takes time and other things stole took your attention after your first few attempts. So whether you want to learn Spanish, the ukulele, knitting, a crash course video editing, juggling, come new recipes or draw anime; why not take a little bit of time a day to start building towards that goal? It is not about being an expert after a week, but it is about taking action and get you started. You will never make time for the things you want to learn if you don’t give them priority.

I will be focusing on my new year’s goal of learning to juggle this week.

As always, feel free to join :)

  8. How funny! I just went through my old bouncy balls/tennis balls, etc and found my juggling bean bags like yours. I was pleasantly surprised that I could still juggle fairly well. : ]

    I must think about something I want to learn...hmm...

  11. I LOVE that you are learning to juggle, that is on my list! This is such good advice for learning a new hobby. I'm SO bad at practicing because I want to be instantly good at something! The past month I've been wanting to learn to hula hoop so I've been trying to practice for about 20 minutes everyday and it really does feel good!

    1. Haha I am the same, I will get frustrated because I expect myself to be some kind of expert after half an hour while that is in NO way a realistic expectation. But you are doing awesome with the hula hoop!
