Whether you're rocking it solo or grabbing a loved one,you're going to LOVE some of these ideas for curing cabin fever!

I am NOT crafty so I promise these are easy, but fun ideas for helping you get through the last of winter blues. Because let's be honest, this is FAKE SPRING! We KNOW another cold spell or frost is on it's way in.

Before I was an author, I was the official family event planner, always looking for new and fun things to do with the kids on a shoestring budget. We once started the tradition of FUN HILL - driving up and down a hilly road in a way that made our stomach's drop. Up and down, over and over and over. Then an ice cream cone for a dollar. Fun and traditions do not have to be expensive!

Ecclesiastes 10:18 - Because of laziness the building decays, and through idleness of hands the house leaks.

NOT MY HOUSE!

I want my house (both metaphorically and literally) to be fully of joy. This means I only do those things which bring me joy or brings joy to others. The rest is just mess and I'm too old for that now!

And let's not confuse introvert with vampire. Really. One of the reasons I started The Introverted Believer was connect with other introverts of faith so we could be a light to each other. Introvert does NOT mean I cannot seek out and enjoy the company of others. It does NOT mean I don't want to go out into God's beautiful world and enjoy it. At The Introverted Believer, it is my mission to connect Introverts with the beauty God has in store for them away from isolation and loneliness.

So I've combed my imagination, experience, and the internet for a few fun ways you can create new memories with these solo hobbies and activities:

Geocaching, Reality Cooking, finger knitting (or knitting or crochet), sensory blankets, tie blankets, Canning, Diamond Painting (mix between cross stitch and paint by numbers), quilt and donate, macramé, paint pouring (just as it sounds. Use funnels, pour through a sieve, cheese cloth or over a whisk, etc.) , rock painting, plant an herb, puzzles, model cars, detail your car, instrument, temari balls (remember the quilt Styrofoam Christmas ornaments we made in Sunday school?) writing flash fiction, birding (invest in binoculars), history (grab hold of one topic and dig deeply).

I hope you’ve found something to trigger a new hobby this year. Whether you try one of these solo or invite your best friend, let the activity bring you joy and more importantly, let that joy spread to others so you can be a light in their world.
