Trying out something new this year but worried about the common hurdles?
You’ve probably given yourself a New Year’s Resolution at some point. For many it’s going on a diet, exercising, or starting a new hobby. On the other hand it might be a more general thing like socialising more, or being spontaneous. Some people have even bigger goals like starting a new business or profession.
But starting something new, especially after a season that leaves many with less money to spare than usual, can have a lot of obstacles. Around 64% of us give up our resolutions within a month, sometimes due to a lack of motivation and other times due to the resolution just being too vague. Lack of motivation can be based on worries about costs, time, and location, all of which can put you off of stepping outside your comfort zone before you’ve even started.
What if, after buying a load of art equipment, you decide this new creative venture isn’t for you? Or maybe you want to pursue your dream job of being a music teacher, but you just don’t have the space at home to teach lessons?
Renting space with the facilities to learn, or teach, can make keeping a New Year’s Resolution much less daunting, even if you change your mind about it in the end.
Plus, without having already spent big on your new hobby or interest, you’ll have a much better idea of whether or not you really enjoy it before taking the next big step.
Whether you want to finally record that hit track outside of the garage, or try your hand at an instrument without shelling out for what might end up as a house ornament, these spaces are an excellent way to try out something new for 2022.
