What is your hobby?

It was a normal Saturday evening, and I didn’t get to out (it’s pandemic, bic). I spent some time trying to come up with any possible excuses to not let the rest of the day gloomy. Suddenly, a thought blinked in mind: it was so simple yet motivating.

I have some books that I haven’t managed to read and I think I should start reading again in my leisure times like that. I can proudly say that reading as one of my hobbies.

What is your hobby? Are you also doing something specific in your free time? Let me know because I’m interested and probably will be doing that too later on!

 

By knowing someone’s hobby, you can try to map their nature and upbringing. In a modern era like this, I’m actually afraid that we are too glued to the social media and other passive activities (such as sleeping and online shopping) that we won’t be able to point out any other tasks to do as a hobby. I’m not saying that the previously mentioned activities are useless, but it could be more like we just don’t know what to do, or even what we want to do.

 

I once a research conducted by Society for Personality and Social Psychology on happiness. The research is titled “Valuing your Time more than Money is Linked to Happiness”. From here, we can know the importance of having hobby in human life succession. This is simply because those who do their hobbies are those who are able to cherish every chance fruitfully.

 

Trends are changing every time, and we are not going to be the same people forever. Change is good, especially when it gives you good results, too. By changing our approach to spare time, and with some nice effort in doing the activity, we can earn something from our hobbies. People should live their lives at their best, and that includes learning more, feeling better, and following their dreams. Our hobbies can take us somewhere great surely!

 

We might be too busy with our regular lives, but never say that we don’t have time. We do have free time. Most of us have a lot of time; we’re just not using it well, which one of them could have been spent for our hobbies. From your packed routine, you can keep 30 minutes for yourself: read, cook, exercise, take pictures, paint, etc. This isn’t for anybody’s show; it is for our own self-development. If we start small today, it’ll automatically adjust within our daily life and turn into something nice.

 

Your hobby may not be grande, or look perfect for you, but the point is we have a lot of fun! Try new things, or do the usual. Explore more, gain much. I like to really appreciate the time I spent fooling around with myself, and you should, too! The more you spend time for yourself, the better you’ll be (:
