HOBBIES AS A LIFELONG JOURNEY

When it comes to hobbies, many people see them as a means to pass the time or as a temporary distraction from their daily routine. However, hobbies can offer so much more than just momentary enjoyment. In fact, hobbies can be a lifelong journey that provides a sense of purpose, fulfillment, and personal growth.

The concept of lifelong hobbies is a simple one: finding something you love to do and continuing to do it for the rest of your life. But as with many things in life, the execution of this concept is more complex. Many people struggle to maintain their hobbies throughout their lives due to various factors such as lack of time, changing interests, or other priorities taking precedence.

It's essential to view hobbies as a long-term investment in your personal well-being. Continuously engaging in hobbies over time provides a sense of mastery and progress, leading to increased confidence and self-esteem. As you explore and develop your skills in your chosen hobby, you'll gain a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you.

Another benefit of lifelong hobbies is the sense of community that they can provide. Hobbies are an excellent way to meet new people who share your interests, leading to new friendships and a supportive social network. Whether it's joining a local book club, participating in a weekly painting class, or attending a monthly board game night, hobbies can bring people together and create lasting connections.

Moreover, hobbies can be a fantastic way to maintain mental and physical health. Engaging in regular physical activity, such as running or dancing, can help keep you physically fit and reduce the risk of various health problems. Additionally, hobbies that require mental focus, such as puzzles or learning a new language, can help keep your mind sharp and improve cognitive function.

It's important to remember that hobbies are not just for children or retirees. People of all ages and backgrounds can benefit from finding and maintaining lifelong hobbies. Whether you're in your 20s or your 70s, hobbies can provide a sense of purpose, fulfillment, and enjoyment throughout your life.

As with any long-term commitment, it's essential to have realistic expectations and to be open to change. Over time, your interests and priorities may shift, and you may need to adapt your hobbies accordingly. This doesn't mean that you should abandon your hobbies altogether; rather, it's an opportunity to explore new interests and evolve your current hobbies to better suit your changing needs.

Hobbies are much more than just a temporary distraction or pastime. They offer a multitude of benefits, including personal growth, community, and physical and mental health. By viewing hobbies as a lifelong journey, you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself, connect with others, and find lasting fulfillment throughout your life.

This post is your reminder that you are not obligated to blog about current events.

Things are bad. Really bad. Do not let people guilt trip you into tormenting yourself even further over the fact that things are bad. Doomscrolling is not activism.

If you're just on tumblr to blorbopost or reblog pretty pictures, you are not harming people by inaction.

You are not a bad person for not dedicating every aspect of your life and leisure space to whatever disgusting mask-off attack on human life and dignity some government has decided to enact.

Take action where you can, but don't confuse doomscrolling and digital self harm for action.

If you need to lose yourself in blorboposting, go for it.

If you need to log off for the day, whether it's to take irl action or to protect what little sanity any of us have left over the past 7 years, then by all means, do.

Morale is important. Hope is important. Small joys keep us from burning out completely in times like this. Do not let any "if you don't reblog this I'm judging you" guilt trip convince you otherwise.

#serious tag #current events #im gonna be offline for the day working on making doll clothes #this is why i keep my blogging and my activism as separate as i can #and only talk about the dynamics of big irl issues as they apply to hobby spaces most of the time -#because i know myself well enough to know that i WILL fall victim to the doomscrolling cycle #it's happened before and im not going there again

🎀 Hobbies 🎀

I feel as tho I don't have much time to do things besides school, work, some chores, and survive right now, but I've been thinking about some hobbies I enjoy and would like to incorporate into my life when I decide to make the time without burning out!

Reading - I used to be big on reading just about any books I could get my hands on. Then I was really focused on reading self help, and now that I haven't been reading at all, I've been thinking about getting back into reading. Always looking for book recommendations, and I do have my eye on some books I'd like to purchase.

Gardening - if I had the time and space, I'd love to have a flower garden or a vegetable garden. It always makes me happy when the fruits of my efforts come to life, so tending to plants and gardening sounds super fun and relaxing.

Video Games - I used to play video games on and off, but I wouldn't mind owning a PS4 or a Switch and spending some time playing video games whenever I'd want time to wind down.

Cooking/Baking - I love learning things, and the sense of pride I've gotten in the past when receiving praise for things I've cooked or baked has really driven me to want to increase my skill. I've only baked something from scratch once in my life, but I'd really like to expand my skills in making desserts.

Exercise - I'm talking all forms of it! Dancing, martial arts/kickboxing type activities, yoga, pilates, running, swimming, spin/cycling, weight lifting (again), calisthenics, all of it! I don't currently look like the exercise type but I find various forms of movement to be so fun! If I had more time, I'd be trying new things all the time!

Volunteer work - This is something I used to do all the time, and it's a hobby that I enjoyed that kept me humble. Not only that, but I thoroughly enjoy showing kindness and compassion to others. Making a difference in anuwau brings me so much joy, and I love meeting new people and learning their stories. I also would love to volunteer with animals, because they deserve so much love and affection too!

Drawing/Art - I used to draw for fun but when I started college, I didn't have the time to devote to continuously increasing my art skills. I still own a sketch kit, coloring materials, and several sketchbooks so it really is a matter of having time.

Crochet - The thought of making things that I can gift to others seriously makes me so excited!! Crochet seems like such a fun, crafty, relaxing activity and the added fun of gifting those crafts to others would make it so fun!!

Scrapbooking - I don't know if I'd ever do this one, but I do Ike the idea of keeping my memories in a physical space, and not just in like pictures on my phone.

Learning - if school wasn't crazy busy, I'd spend all my time learning languages (ASL, Japanese, Spanish, Korean, Mandarin, Italian, etc), computer coding skills, how to make and do certain things, just anything I can do to keep my mind enriched.

Upcycling/Altering Clothes - I would love to upcycle or alter articles of clothes into more personalized pieces for myself. The thought of having a personalized, hand made closet full of clothes makes me really want to buy a sewing machine and learn how to use it to my advantage!

That's all I can think of for now that I'd like to someday incorporate into my life. Having hobbies is always so fun, but I've been so busy and tired that I don't mess with any of the hobbies I'd want to do. If anyone has any tips for time management, or resources for beginning new hobbies, please let me know!!

til next time lovelies 🩷

People who love you shouldn't make you feel ashamed of your interests and hobbies. What you enjoy is wonderful, even if it's uncommon, complicated, stereotypical, etc. Please keep sharing your lovely energy with the world.

i keep thinking about hobbies and how i often spill over myself to pick up new ones. i have adhd, i end up trying something for like a month and then just getting far enough in it that i move on, satisfied.

and that should be fine; but it's never fine.

i am a pretty decent artist; but i can't just make art for my dnd campaign, i should be selling dnd maps and character designs and scene setting pieces. i can't just make my friends matching earrings, i need to get an etsy and ship them internationally and take bulk orders. i make pretty good props and decorations and use them to throw my friends parties - but i should be running a party planning business and start taking paying clients and networking and putting my skills to actual use.

for some reason, i never figured out the specifics of pottery. it was a fun class and i enjoyed myself - and still, i'm embarrassed, years later, that i put in all that useless effort. everything i make has to be stunning. stellar. i should have applied myself more. maybe i'm too lazy. maybe i'm broken and selfish and needy. actually creative people would have kept going; they would be bettering themselves at every possible opportunity.

we find ourselves in this trap, even accidentally: we need to commodify our time, because it is a commodity. if we spend our efforts and our time not earning, isn't that the same thing as burning free money? and god forbid you ever take up a hobby that ends up being more expensive than you thought. you sit in your car and you look at the receipt and in your head you hear a conversation that isn't even happening - your mom or your friend or your partner all saying oh great. not this shit again. it's always something with you, and it never actually means anything.

i have realized this horrible thing, recently - i'll get excited to start a project, pick up a new hobby. and then i just... stop myself. i start thinking about the amount of time it will take, and how it'll look in my monthly budget. what if i can't even produce a good enough final product. sure, it's exciting to think about how i could make my friend her own custom dice. but i'm just polluting the earth if i don't get it right. better not bother. better not try.

restless, i get caught in the negative space. the feeling that oh god, i want to create. and that horrible sense - yeah, but i don't have the time to just put to waste.

#hobbies #writeblr #what stage of weirdness to write about hobbies on my hobby writing blog #although i know OBJECTIVELY i am a creative person #i often forget to label myself that bc i don't feel im an ARTISTIC person bc i don't do anything like that professionally #writing doesn't even feel like a hobby i think that surprises nobody for me to be like #it would be easier for me to stop . like. breathing.#which feels cheesy and trite but listen im running late for a meeting and all i really want to say is like #i couldn't even consider writing my hobby bc it makes my skin crawl bc it makes it sound like it's not important to me #bc we really devalue hobbies. like entirely.#it HAS to be a job. it must #also idk if this is clear but i personally get stuck in this space where i CANT create bc i am putting so much pressure on myself #to make it RIGHT #and im like ... idk i only have an hour #so probably shouldnt get involved in this thing

video diary entry ideas⋆.ೃ࿔*:･🍭

so if u dont already know, a video diary is exactly what it sounds like. a diary of videos that u make, in my previous post about video diaries i talked ab why its sm fun and in this post i'll be giving video ideas just in case u need an extra push or ideas ✨

THRIFT HAUL ;

talk about ur personal style and ideas and what ur plans are for those clothes. maybe turn the clothes that u thrifted into a project and personalize the clothes to ur needs and style. talk about how you'd style the clothes. as a person who has a passion for fashion i love a good thrift haul video entry.

BAKING AND CHATTING ;

pick up a box of cake mix and make ur favorite sweet treat while just chatting to the camera. this is helpful especially if u find sitting and talking about ur thoughts and expressing urself kind of awkward, it gives u something to do and helps to lessen the anxiety if ur just starting.

LETS TALK ABOUT IT ;

my video diary is like my own podcast so here's some things that i've talked about.

my "hot takes"

ideas for my future

things that frustrate me

talk about ur day in a different language (this is also great practice if ur learning a new language)

talk about whats going on in a show/series that ur watching or reading

and just sitting and talking is a rly great way for me to cultivate creativity, think of new ideas for literally everything. from my blog to law of assumption epiphanies to projects, fashion ideas and projects, my music EVERYTHING.

talk about things that u need to get off of ur chest for ur own peace yk? cuz theres just something about saying it out loud

do a mukbang

DO A COLLECTION TOUR ;

i've actually written a post about starting a collection, but if u need an idea for a video entry go through ur collection and talk about pieces in ur collection.

DO A MUKBANG ;

order and eat ur favorite foods, or if u want to you can take an asmr kind of approach so that then u can enjoy your food and the sounds r SO GOOD in my opinion. when u do a mukbang or asmr u can try new foods and give feedback which gives u something to talk about. some things i've mukbanged recently are

mexican tacos and rice water and for dessert i had cheese cake tempura with some mochi

it was actually my first time trying rice water and it was SO GOOD. it was so delicious and refreshing and the tacos were amazing too. the cheese cake tempura was a bit small but it was rly good and the mochi as always was delicious.

HOW TO DISCOVER THE PERFECT HOBBY FOR YOU

Hobbies are an essential part of a fulfilling life, providing a sense of purpose, creativity, and relaxation. Engaging in activities that you enjoy can also reduce stress, boost your mood, and help you meet new people. But with so many options available, how do you find the perfect hobby for you?

Here are some tips to help you discover your passion and start enjoying the many benefits of having a hobby:

Follow Your Curiosity

Start by exploring activities that pique your curiosity or interest. Maybe you've always been intrigued by photography or woodworking, or you've been curious about trying yoga. Don't be afraid to try something new or different. You never know what you might discover.

Consider Your Personality and Lifestyle

Think about your personality, lifestyle, and values when choosing a hobby. Are you more introverted or extroverted? Do you enjoy spending time outdoors or indoors? What are your passions and values? Choosing a hobby that aligns with your personality and lifestyle can help ensure that you'll enjoy it and stick with it long-term.

Try a Variety of Activities

Don't limit yourself to one type of hobby. Trying a variety of activities can help you discover what you truly enjoy. Maybe you'll find that you love hiking and rock climbing, or maybe you'll discover a passion for knitting or writing. The possibilities are endless.

Be Open to Learning

Learning a new skill or activity can be challenging, but it's also incredibly rewarding. Be open to the learning process and be patient with yourself as you develop new skills. With practice, you'll gain confidence and mastery, and your enjoyment of the hobby will only increase.

Connect with Others

Hobbies are a great way to connect with like-minded individuals and build new relationships. Join a club or group related to your hobby, attend classes or workshops, or participate in online communities. Connecting with others who share your interests can provide a sense of camaraderie, support, and motivation.

Make Time for Your Hobby

With busy schedules and responsibilities, it can be easy to push hobbies to the side. However, it's essential to prioritize time for the things that bring us joy. Even if it's just 30 minutes a day, schedule time for your hobby and make it a priority.

Embrace Change

Hobbies can evolve and change over time, just like we do as individuals. Embrace change and be open to trying new activities or exploring new aspects of your current hobbies. Continuously learning and growing in your hobbies can bring a sense of excitement and purpose to your life.

Finding your passion and discovering the perfect hobby for you can be a fun and rewarding journey. By exploring your interests, considering your personality and lifestyle, trying a variety of activities, connecting with others, making time for your hobby, and embracing change, you can find a hobby that brings joy, fulfillment, and relaxation to your life. So go ahead and start exploring today!
