What are some ideas for hobbies?

Here are some ideas of things I do for fun if you would be interested in trying some of them out!

-Trying different flower preservation methods (wax, plant skeletons, the replacement of soft organic matter with another polymer, resin, etc) and try making art or different items with those methods.

-Sewing.

-Doing research about imaginary things as if it was something real. Like, for example, what if you could donate your spine so someone would develop a tail? I don't know why I like doing stuff like that and I get so invested in it that I can write pages and pages about my imaginary research work.

-Participating in art contests.

-Designing cards or clothes.

-Sending letters.

-Creating educational material.

-Short animations.

-Feed the squirrels in the park (they are domestic, they don't know how to find food themselves so it's allowed to give them food)

-Trying movie-inspired hairstyles.

-Gardening.

-Baking.

-Petting animals. Any animal really, all animals are pretty.

I love to crochet, sew, run/lift, bake, and read.

I’m not much of a TV watcher but I do love to listen to a good audiobook or podcast while doing one of the aforementioned.

I have a hard time with hobbies that don’t produce a tangible product, so I don’t have very many non-crafty hobbies.

A list of hobbies that you may or may not enjoy:

Hiking, biking, listening to audiobooks or podcasts, watching documentaries, cooking, baking, crocheting, knitting, sewing, cross-stitch, taking care of plants, skincare, painting your nails, volunteering, donating clothes or food, joining a sport, playing an instrument, making your own pottery/ceramics, or taking a class just to learn something new.

I’ve done most of these things, and the nice part about all of them is that you’ll have something to show for each of them after you’re done! I find I enjoy my hobbies most when I have something tangible that I’ve “gained” from it, either new knowledge, a physical product I’ve created, a skill I’ve developed, or physical exertion that makes me feel accomplished.

Sounds like you have a bunch of pretty great hobbies so far! So just add to your repertoire 😊

my favorite hobby right now is figure skating. i feel this is a good time to mention it because of the current olympics! if you have a rink nearby, try it out. theres a large learning curve but its so worth the effort. it keeps me fit, challenges my body and mind, and allows me to express myself. ive also gained some friends from it!

Embroidery! It’s a really forgiving craft for beginners because you can fix your mistakes. Also there are lots of templates to follow online. You can also buy a bunch of second hand quality threads on eBay which I found made it more enjoyable for me because I had a range of colours!

Also, I taught myself to play guitar around a decade or so and it’s been one of the best things I’ve ever done. I’m by no means a musician but I know enough to play the songs I like and sing along and it’s something you can spend an hour or 2 doing and not even notice the time go by.

There are so many fun projects for Arduino and RaspberryPis, you can even buy kits online. Setting up a network-wide ad-block at my house with a Raspberry Pi was fun, and taught me more about how my home network and internet works (plus, no ads are sweet).

Cross stitching is super relaxing, the materials are cheap, and you really don't need to learn much, it's just following the patterns.

When it's nice out, I love biking!

If you're feeling adventurous, try a jiu jitsu class. Unfortunately I can't anymore because of a hip surgery, but it's a great community, and you learn a lot about how your body moves and works. Plus all of the self-confidence that comes with a martial art :)

If you like nature walks - learn to identify useful medicinal plants. Learn to forage edible plants (not just the usual berries - there's tons) and incorporate it in your cooking. Learn natural preservation methods of food - canning, lacto-fermentation, kombucha, etc. Make soap. Pressed flower collage. Sew your own clothing, dye it with natural, homemade dyes. Spin your own yarn to weave your own fabric. Sculpt figurines. Weight lift. Learning about off-grid and pre-indistrial living and seeing what I can apply to my life now. Grow your own food and raise Livestock. These are just some of the things I do myself, but maybe you'll have some interest. It's humbling and highly rewarding to take something we take for granted in our daily life, like food and clothing, and do it ourselves from ground zero. Like growing your own wheat instead of buying flour to make bread.

I've been doing cross stitch. I want to make one for each of my girls for their birthday. It's fun and cheap and doesn't take a ton of concentration. I can even do it while listening to a book. I may work my way up to embroidery. Crochet is also a fun and affordable hobby to start. YouTube will teach you the basics of both.

Lots of painting suggestions, I love that! To give further painting advice if you so decide to try it as a hobby I'd suggest starting with watercolor painting 🎨 you can buy a tiny pallette of paint colours in a travel size and then all you'll need are brushes, watercolor paper and, well, water! Watercolor painting takes up very little space compared to acrylic and oils and it's so much fun and free flowing.

I got very into painting with watercolor and then progressed into oils and it's given me such a creative outlet, it's a great mindfulness practice and so calming and fun. It's great creating cards for people too!

Journaling is also a great creative outlet/hobby and helps make sense of situations, thoughts and feelings. I add watercolor doodles and flowers into my journal to combine these hobbies.

Hope these suggestions help x

That’s a fine list, though I’d personally scrap the trash tv but whatever floats your boat I suppose.

I like to read, sew clothing (It’s so rewarding and also helps me look cute), embroider (I’m practically obsessed), garden (can’t wait for spring), cook, bake, and I journal daily. I also play music and sing on occasion but not nearly often enough.

Some more active hobbies I indulge in are swimming, Pilates, rock climbing and sailing.

I guess at the end of the day hobbies are just things you enjoy that improve your life. I don’t count television or scrolling social media because they rarely improve me.

I recommend at least one solitary hobby and a community one. So you can have the best of both worlds.

Candle making is quite easy, relatively cheap and make nice gifts. When you get reasonable good at it, making soap becomes the next step.

Any sport or gym is a good community hobby. Even shooting and weight lifting have a community.
