Find Your Hobby

“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”   This quote by Albert Einstein is the perfect summary of why you should find a hobby.  Everyone is good at something but many of us haven’t discovered what that something is yet. Hobbies provide the perfect opportunity to figure out what your talents are as well as what you really love to do.  They also provide a variety of other benefits.  Here is a list of those benefits and some tips on finding a hobby!

Here some tips 🙂

• Before you get involved starting your hobby, find a place to work on it, and to store it if done indoors. Even outdoors hobbies that need equipment will require storage space – hockey sticks, soccer balls, boots, bicycles, tents etc. all have to go somewhere when you’re not using them.
• Supplies for virtually any hobby will be much more affordable (and environment friendly) if obtained used instead of new.
• Make sure you hobby will not take away the time you need to spend with your family and friends. Involve them if you can and ask them to come and watch you play sport or to see your work on display.If you don’t have much money at the start of your hobby, begin very small or find a hobby that doesn’t cost anything. Borrow things from other people – often older people have tried a hobby and no longer care for it and they can give the items to you. Another way to make money is to sell the items that you have created in your hobby. This will work for hobbies such as craft, artwork and woodwork. It will have to be good quality though, so make sure you’re good at it first.
• Once you pursue a hobby for any length of time, you’ll get good at it. Often you may reach a point where it can pay for itself such as selling art or crafts, coaching other athletes, writing articles, teaching others or displaying it for admission in the case of very extensive railroad setups. This is a good way to keep costs down.
• At the beginning, think about what hobby you don’t think you would like. It will reduce search terms.
• Try to find something that your usually good at!
• Try something that at first seems unlike you, you might be surprised when you excel at it!
