Hobby is such type of activity that we enjoy doing it in our leisure. In other words it is called pastimes. Hobbies give us pleasure, make us in high spirits and help us forget the troubles and anxieties that we usually have in our normal life. Everyone in this world should have their own hobbies that they pursue in their free time. We should think over things or activities that make us feel relaxed when we do them.
Though there may be a number of things that may be of interest, we should think on these numerous hobbies to find one or several that would be the best suitable for us considering age, physical strength, mood and temperament and above all the time which we have available to pursue them. We should discover the best hobby for ourselves.
Hobbies are classified in many ways. Many leisure activities can be performed inside the house. There is no need for open space or fields. These are called indoor hobbies. They include cooking, reading, writing, sewing, knitting, watching TV and many other indoor games. There are some other pastimes that cannot be performed staying inside the home. To do these activities we need to go outside. Most notable outdoor hobbies are fishing, skateboarding, snowboarding, skiing, visiting friends and relatives, going for shopping, hiking, stamp or collecting coin, going to cinema and enjoying plays etc.
We should be skillful while choosing our own hobbies. At first we should determine our personality and body strength then try to match the hobby that suited best to our personality and body. We should also consider our ability and the needs of our body and mind. If anyone has to remain confined within the four walls due to his regular job, he certainly should choose an activity that paves him the way to go out and have relaxation. Likewise if anyone is disturbed with sounds and bustles of the crowd, he may find pleasure in such activities that keep him in calm and quiet.
We should keep time for pursuing our hobbies daily. If it is not possible, we should do it at least once a week. But to get greater benefit we ought to spend a minimum time for it and maintain regularity. We should somehow be serious regarding our hobbies and ensure proper utilization of the spare time spent after our hobbies.
By pursuing our hobbies we can be benefited not only mentally and spiritually but also we find physical and monetary benefits. The hobbies that require intensive seriousness while doing them, keep us aloof from boredom, loneliness, anxiety and worries. Outdoor hobbies like skateboarding, snowboarding, hiking and other sports and games make us physically strong and teach us discipline. There are a lot of leisure activities from which we can get monetary benefits alongside our mental pleasure and freshness. Fishing, knitting, cooking, ducks and other domestic animal raring give us financial gains too. Some hobbies like reading, writing, watching TV and enjoying films enrich our knowledge and broaden our outlook. Spending time through activities on social media like ‘Facebook’ and ‘twitter’ make us familiar with thoughts and feeling of the people of different nations of the world.
Hobbies are not merely means of spending free time but rather means of spending spare time in an effective way.
