Maintain Hobbies

Aside from trying new things, it’s important to keep a hobby or two long-term. These can help you learn skills, but it also teaches a valuable life lesson: good things are worth working on for years. That’s a lesson that can really help keep you focused in your relationships with people.

For example, it takes most people about a decade of steady practice to master an instrument. How long do you think it will take you to master parenting? How about being a spouse? The point is not to be perfect, it’s to commit to the work of getting better at things that matter to us.
