There’s a lot that goes into self-entertainment. If you’re anything like me, you probably don’t have a lot of time to find your next new hobby because of volunteering, work and other things. I hope this article can provide some insights and help those who are looking for something novel or different to build fun hobbies in their lives! Van son entertainment is a bit more specific sometimes than just “self-entertainment” though as I will explain in the article. The way we approach self-entertainment is not always the same, so this article should be helpful to those who are looking for something new and different.
15 Secrets About Self Entertainment That Nobody Will Tell You :
1. Your mind is a powerful thing
Did you know that you can train your brain to memorize songs or poems in just a few weeks? It’s true! Your brain has the ability to perform amazing feats if you develop it properly. I highly recommend reading this awesome article
2. Make things more fun with your friends
I truly believe that having friends around is one of the most effective ways of making any activity more fun and interesting, especially self entertainment. Have a movie night with a group of friends and treat each other to something fun. Don’t be afraid to watch a new movie or try something new together. If you’re an anime fan, have an all-night anime binge session with some friends, who knows, maybe you’ll start watching them too!
3. Distracting people can be effective when trying to pass time
If you want to pass time but don’t feel like doing anything in particular, just ask your friends if they want to play games or watch movies with you. One of my favorite things to do when I don’t know what else to do is browse the internet for about 2 hours. The most important thing to remember is that you should always be honest, if you don’t want to do something, say so!
4. Get into a routine and do the same things at the same time every day
On your days off, try playing video games or watching a movie at the same time of day everyday. Once you’ve done this for a while, it’ll become more automatic and keep you from spinning in circles trying to find something fun to do. I like doing self-entertainment on my laptop with my family at home.
5. Find something you can do anywhere and do it a lot so you get really good at it
In his book “Mastery” , George Leonard says that once you find something you’re really good at, try learning every way of doing it and vary the situations in which you do it. After studying a few classical piano pieces for an hour or two every day, I began to improve dramatically. My experience with piano is limited, but I’ve done the same with all the instruments and genres of music I’ve ever played before!
6. Learn how to play an instrument
In my opinion, there is no greater way to get into music than to pick up an instrument. Play the piano, violin or guitar and learn how to play it well. It’s good for your brain because you need to become good at using both hands and it helps you analyze yourself and understand music better. If you want to self-entertain on-the-go, I highly recommend getting a harmonica! They are cheap (about $1 at a dollar store), small and easy to carry with you wherever you go.
7. Don’t be afraid to try something new
If you don’t want to read a book, watch a movie or play an instrument, pick up a new hobby. Things will get repetitious if you do the same things all the time, so why not try doing something different? New hobbies are fun because they keep your brain from getting bored with the same old things. The worst thing about playing the piano is that once I can play Twinkle Little Star on the piano and my mom has to hear her own song in her head, I can go home without listening to it for another two months!
8. Develop your creativity
If you’re looking for something to do that’s more artistic in nature, I highly recommend drawing. It is an excellent way to develop your imagination and creative thinking. Drawing helps you get better at visualizing things in your head and seeing them in the real world. All of my friends who draw all the time say that it helps a lot with their daily life! If drawing isn’t interesting to you, then maybe try learning how to create things with clay or even just a piece of paper.
9. Try reading a book instead of watching TV
If you struggle with self-entertainment, I recommend reading books instead of watching TV or movies whenever possible. Books are great because they give you a greater opportunity to get immersed in the story and imagine things in your head. Watching movies doesn’t really require imagination because you can see everything as it happens on screen. I also believe that reading is excellent for developing creativity, which makes self-entertainment fun.
10. Just have fun wherever you go!
When you go somewhere (eg: school, church, office, etc.) , play with the things around you or make funny faces at strangers! Taking your mind off of your boring activities is half the battle towards being happier and more entertained. Try writing funny stories about your coworkers or doing a silly dance whenever no one else is looking!
11. Find a hobby you love
Who cares if you have to do boring activities that don’t really make you happy or entertain you? What matters is that they make your life easier and more fun! I learned how to play the harmonica after picking up a harmonica while on a trip. It’s a piece of wood held between your mouth and lips by an elastic band. Later, I discovered it’s easy to get it out of tune if you’re not careful, so now I have to learn a new trick in order to play it properly. It’s not an easy instrument to play, but it’s a lot of fun and I’m pretty good at it!
12. Make your own fun!
If you really have nothing to do and are not allowed to use your electronic devices, try making your own fun! Draw pictures of your friends or family. Make up a game with yourself where every time somebody does something weird in public you make a note of it. Invent a new character and tell a story about them! It’s like playing with toys, but only you can use them!
13. Have pets to keep you company
I’m not saying that having a pet is the best thing in the world, but I do think it’s one of the best ways to keep yourself entertained because every pet is different and needs your attention. Even if you’re out of ideas for what to do, simply petting your cat or dog will make you feel better than just sitting around doing nothing.
14. Play a board game with your friends!
Board games are fun not just because of occasional laughs and prizes, but because they keep you entertained for at least an hour or two every day. You can play as many rounds of the same game as you want or make up new ones by combining old games that you’ve mastered. All in all, playing a board game is a great way to make your friends laugh and bond with each other through competition.
15. Read books, watch movies and play video games on your computer/tv
These are all great options because they satisfy all of your entertainment needs. Not only will you get to watch a movie or show whenever you want and read a book when the mood strikes you, but it’s also great for fun images because you can draw and write in the notes section of each book.
