Adult Electives: Hobbies That Feel Like Free Therapy

We’ve reset our routines (LIFE 101), built our life syllabus (CURIO 201), stocked our cozy tools (AESTH 120), and romanticized productivity (CURIO 310). Now it’s time for the fun part — Adult Electives. This week’s class is all about rediscovering hobbies that make life feel lighter. The kind that don’t need to be productive or perfect. Whether it’s journaling, sketching in cafés, birdwatching, or growing herbs on your windowsill, these little electives are curiosity in practice. If you missed Lessons 1–4, definitely go back and catch up first — they’re the foundation for this semester of life. 🍂✨ Resources & Links 🗂️ Life Curriculum Notion Template (free): https://redlidconsulting.com/notion-t... 📝 Emily North’s Substack article — What Makes a Person Interesting? https://substack.com/home/post/p-1687...
