I find it hard to stay grounded, especially during all of the worries that the world is facing these days.
I try to keep my mind diverted by having a hobby. The only hobby I currently have is writing travel articles like tips and tricks for cruising. It is a nice creative outlet but I find myself wanting to find something more. I would love a hobby that had the potential for me to 0earn, something that I can just pick up and run with when I have the free time.
I find that writing the articles can take me a lot of time and though they have the potential to pay, that has only happened to me twice in the whole time since I joined up with Hubpages.
What are some hobbies that you have that keep you grounded?
and what are some hobbies that you enjoy that end up being productive?

I do enjoy it, just wondering if I should mix it up with something else. I only have a tiny space for a garden which is already full up with things and I'm a hopeless baker. What kind of things do your bake?

Great hobbies.Canada is a lovely place. I actually watch a few people on YouTube that do some bushcraft and stuff like that, they are from there also. Such amazing views.

@paddygsound20 I don't know anyone that does bushcraft.
Though Hubby has made me a walking stick and he has made some boards that he used to make clocks.
That is from Chokecherry trees that grow wild in our bush. Chokecherries are a wild berry we eat on the prairies. I can't explain them to the rest of the world

@paddygsound20 I am surprised you found it. Usually when people online ask me about chokecherries I find they don't have this plant!
It is a nice hardwood.

How do you collect bitcoin?
HubPages pays through Paypal, it has a payout threshold of 50 dollars that needs to be met. Basically, the more people that view your articles the more you get paid. To get a constant payout I would probably have to change my topic to something that is so competitive. But I do enjoy the topic, so it is hard to change it.

@rhuenz I find it rewarding, and if I was able to give it a lot of time I'm sure it would be possible to make a bit of money. Sounds like some people have had a lot of success on there.
