Ever filling out a questionnaire when you come across the question: What are your hobbies? Then you take a while to come up with an answer? Have no fear! In this article I will be helping you discover your hobbies.

Everybody has a hobby- they’re what bring you joy in life. It’s important to know what your hobby is and to identify it, because they give you a break from the stress of the real world and your daily obligations. The most fun hobby in the world for one person can be horrifying for another, and vice versa. People usually enjoy hobbies that appeal to their own unique strengths, interests, and personality characteristics. 

A hobby is a regular activity done for enjoyment- not professionally or for pay- usually during one’s leisure time. Hobbies can include collecting themed items and objects, engaging in creative and artistic activities, playing sports, or pursuing other amusements. Still having trouble thinking of a hobby? Trying new things is crucial to identifying a hobby that you love. Join organizations, clubs, or groups where you can try new things and discover a hobby.

It might take a few tries to find a hobby that you love, but the key is to not give up. Keep putting yourself out there, connecting with people, and exploring new things that feel exciting to you. Eventually, you’ll find a hobby that feels like the right fit and you’ll learn a lot of new things and meet cool people in the process.
