Bridge

Have a deck of cards but bored with the usual game of poker? Well, now, you can try out this card game called bridge. It has got nothing to do with playing this game on top of any bridge. However, this game can bridge generation gaps. It can be played by anyone, regardless of age.

My Bridge Experience

Recently, I played this game with my grandparents. I had always thought that when a youngster plays any game with an elderly, generally, being physically stronger, the youngster will always win. Nevertheless, I was taken aback when out of five games, I only won the first one! This shows that it does not matter how physically strong or weak you are but the mental preparation that determines the victory.

Candle-Making

Tensed up after a long day at work? Then, try out candle making as it is one of the most effective way for you to feel relaxed. The results will give you tremendous satisfaction.  Do not be intimidated or worried if you are not good at art because you can always melt the candle and make a new one all over again! 

This simple yet relishing hobby just need you to get a beginner's kit which are available at any craft shops. This kit will include candle mould, paraffin wax, stearin and also a book which come in handy in showing you the step-by-step on how to go about doing it. 

Once you have mastered candle-making, you may want to sell your creative artworks and hence, gain some profits. Also, you can enjoy this hobby with your family and thus, spending quality time together. However, it is important to note that safety always comes first especially when handling hot wax and flame. Do not try to multitask as it is not only dangerous but also, the wax will turn cold very fast.

Lucid Dreaming

The first hobby I'm going to introduce is not a tough one. Everyone can try this at anytime. Even when you are reading this post. It is called lucid dreaming. What you have to do is just DREAM!!


However, you do not have to really lie down on your bed, sleep and wait to dream. Lucid dreaming is done in the state where you are actually aware that you are dreaming. This means that you can control what is going to happen! How cool is that!!


You just have to keep telling yourself that you want to be lucid and fully aware in your dreams. You are supposed to focus on something, be it an object, a scene or just anything you want to dream of. Then, you will realize that there is like a plain sheet of paper in front of you and you are free to create anything you want.


I am sure anyone can try this hobby as it does not create a hole in your pocket. Although this hobby sounds weird, it actually benefits those who tried. For instance, lucid dreaming requires intense focusing. Thus, it assists in our everyday life where high concentrations are needed.


Amazing fact about lucid dreaming is that, at this very moment, more than 11226 people are starting on this hobby! So let's try it out! Also, you guys can update me when you have tried. Happy Lucid Dreaming!!
