having a hobby will give you a break from the stress. It'll give you a break from the daily grind.

It'll give you that much needed sense of accomplishment. Again, it's going to make life happier

and more balanced. Can I get it all up in your business today? I'm going to get all up in your business today?

I'm going to get all up in your business.

We should just call these solo shows between us, the Just Allie shows.

We should just call them Allie gets bossy or spend 20 minutes and listen to Allie fuss at me.

This is apparently where I'm going with this show.

I'm sorry.

And I'm glad you're still here and I'm not running you off because this week I'm going to tell you, I think you need a hobby.

Okay?

Let me make my case because I can't tell you how many years went by and I didn't have a hobby.

I mean, my company could have been my went by and I didn't have a hobby. I mean,

my company could have been my hobby. My kids were kind of my hobby, but I didn't have much

time left over for anything fun and I was a bit overworked with all the responsibilities of life, right?

I wasn't just going to sit around and go, well, what am I passionate about? What do I want to

invest more time in? That was the last

thing on my mind. Now, on the other hand, because we talk so much about emotional health together

and how we optimize life, how we live into the calling that God has for us, how we not just survive,

but live abundantly. And I know you're like me. You don't want to just survive. You're

trying to thrive at life. So what I learned is we actually need a hobby to round out our lives,

to give us some joy and to give us something to lose ourselves in. Hobbies actually help us

de-stress. They help us heal from burnout. We all need that. Hobbies boost our mood.
