Recently I have been inspired by a friend to get back in touch with my creative and artsy side and craft some homemade jewelry and accessories. Initially this was purely for myself and close friends, and I was making my own earrings and headbands after work or in my spare time. However, upon posting pictures of my creations there was an overwhelming amount of positive feedback from friends and acquaintances surrounding the idea of selling the items. I've now set up a booth at a few outdoor summer festivals and have been quite successful. It's a really positive experience, engaging with new people and essentially, having their support in something you enjoy doing. It's a confidence boost. Wow, someone is interested in purchasing something that I have created.
To anyone out there that has a passion or a hobby that you enjoy and maybe have stopped indulging in and miss, sincerely suggest you take some time to dive back into it. I have, and the positive impact on my life is vast. It gives me a creative outlet, opens my horizons and comfort zone, lets me meet new people, takes my mind off of more stressful things in life, relaxes me, and the list could go on. Make a difference in your own life! Give yourself that confidence boost and source of positivity!
