A hobby is an activity done on a regular basis outside of one’s job strictly for pleasure and relaxation, says Dr. Bernstein, a past president of the American Psychiatric Association. “That can mean stamp collecting, wood carving or golfing,” she says. “It doesn’t even matter if you’re bad at it. As long as you enjoy it.” Participating in activities that are meaningful to you will help you feel more energized and connected to the world at large, and less likely to burn out in your other responsibilities. “Hobbies may help act as recovery time” from stress, she says.
Hobby's are essential to well being. They provide meaning and purpose. They also remind us that there is more to life than simply bringing home a paycheck.
If you don't have something yet start practicing. You will only know what you really enjoy by experimenting. Go for that art class, or yoga session. Try that kickboxing class. Trial and error will help you find what works for you.
