“Hobbies give you joy & happiness. It also gives us something fun to do in our free time. In short, it adds some spice to our life.

There are many hobbies that you can choose from such as gardening, singing, drawing, reading, and many more. The options are endless. Try out different things.

Advantages of building a hobby

It helps you to stay away from bad habits. When you’re free and bored, you’re bound to have bad thoughts. Like you can have thoughts about having alcohol. But if you’re into something like drawing, fishing, cooking, etc, you’re less likely to spend your time on bad activities.

It helps you to learn a new skill. When you’re devoting time to something that you like, you’re learning that thing. As you spend more time on that thing, you’ll become better at it.

It works like an escape route to joy & happiness. Look, we all have some problems in our life and sometimes it’s tough to live such a life. So if you have something to do in your free time, it’ll help you forget all your problems for some time.”
