Choosing a New Hobby!

Choosing a hobby can be an exciting and fulfilling endeavor! Here are some steps to help you find a hobby that suits your interests and lifestyle:


  • Reflect on Your Interests: Think about activities you enjoy or have always wanted to try. Consider your passions, talents, and things that make you curious. Reflect on activities that bring you joy or relaxation.


  • Consider Your Personality: Your personality can play a big role in determining what hobbies you might enjoy. For example, if you're outgoing and social, you might enjoy team sports or group activities. If you're introverted, you might prefer solitary hobbies like writing, painting, or gardening.


  • Try New Things: Don't be afraid to try something completely new! Attend workshops, classes, or events related to activities you're interested in. This can help you discover hobbies you never knew you'd enjoy.

  • Assess Your Resources: Consider the resources you have available, including time, budget, and space. Some hobbies require specialized equipment or materials, while others can be pursued with minimal investment.


  • Explore Different Options: There are countless hobbies to choose from, so explore a variety of options before committing to one. You might find that you enjoy a combination of activities or that your interests evolve over time.

  • Think About Long-Term Benefits: Consider the long-term benefits of potential hobbies. Some hobbies, like learning a musical instrument or practicing a craft, can provide a sense of accomplishment and personal growth over time.


  • Listen to Your Gut: Ultimately, choose a hobby that feels right for you. Trust your instincts and select an activity that aligns with your interests, values, and goals.


Remember that hobbies are meant to be enjoyable and fulfilling, so don't put too much pressure on yourself to find the "perfect" one right away. Experiment, have fun, and be open to new experiences!


If you were looking for a new hobby what might you choose and why?

Is there a hobby that you would like to try but feel unable to?

@MistyMagic

I just got a pen that you draw on wood then use a heat gun to burn into the wood. Looking forward to trying it along with my wood burners. I have multiple craft hobbies so I enjoy jumping around with them.

@MistyMagic I love expanding my horizons and upgrading my skills. I would be all up for a completely unrelated hobby to my interests just to try and see as a fun experience. However I have some boundaries to what I don't want it to be. No extreme sports at any cost. No pair dance with someone else then my bf. And no camping or anything that would not be safe for me due to my health issues. Anything besides this would be fine I think

I might choose something like pottery, surfing or sky diving because it matches my personality.

Hmm 🤔🐈

Something crafty! Although I've also been wanting to find a sport I might enjoy. Recently I picked up crochet! 😺 

Is there a hobby that you would like to try but feel unable t o?

Any of the hobbies that take place outside my house :') still waiting on support, but when I eventually do have a support worker then one goal is to start one of those hobbies, with support 😎

@SleepyShyCat crochet is one thing I can't get to grips with! @EmotionsListener has tried to teach me but knitting is my thing.

@MistyMagic I recently got into wargaming miniature building and painting! I put some music or an audiobook on in the background, and get to work. I don't "play" the games that the minis are associated with, but something about the act of handling something tiny, detailed and fragile and painting all the unique aspects of it has been a godsend for my mental health and focus. It is so calming, relaxing, and fun! I have been having a great time exploring this new hobby - and the online community around it has been excellent and welcoming!

@TheEdgeU2 That sounds like a perfect hobby for you! I agree that attention to detail and working on miniatures is really fun :)
