5 Hobbies for a Happy, Healthy Life.
Do you consider yourself a person who has hobbies? Is that a bit of an old-fashioned statement? Something that we list at the bottom of our CV along with ‘socialising with friends.
For most of us, hobbies are an essential part of our personal lives even if we don’t realise it or acknowledge that the activities we enjoy are hobbies.
Hobbies are important for our physical and mental well-being.
Are you looking for a Hobby?
There are many hobbies out there to suit all tastes and interests so if you are looking for something new to do in your spare time start searching and see what takes your fancy.
During my research, I have come across too many hobbies to mention individually but did notice a theme of how they are broken down into categories and choosing something from each can create a happy fulfilled lifestyle.
Hobbies to keep you creative
Whether we consider ourselves naturally creative we all have a creative side.
Being creative is a way to express ourselves.
A creative hobby could include:
- Writing (blogging/creative writing)
- Painting/Drawing
- Photography
- Crafting
- Dancing
I think the past year has taught even the most introverted of us that we need and sometimes crave social connection and a virtual connection sometimes just isn’t good enough!
Would you like to connect socially with others and make new friends? Why not try:
- Book Clubs
- Team sports
- Crafting clubs
- Travelling
- Community gardens/Allotments
If you can’t find any of these in your area, consider creating your own, you only need one other person to join you and your group could grow from there.
Hobbies to keep you in shape
When I teach my 4 Pillars of Health and Wellness I encourage my clients to ‘move’ rather than ‘exercise’ as even the word can put people off!
How about a hobby which also encourages your body to move, you can get fit for fun 🙂
My ideas for you are:
- Swimming (I can not wait to swim again!!)
- Gardening – bending, lifting, and reaching all add to your fitness
- Walking – walking clubs could add a social element too
- Running – enter competitions or sign up for new distances to motivate you
- Cleaning – why not? I like cleaning, I find it therapeutic and I like the results. Put a little extra oomph into it and you get a workout too!!
Hobbies to make you money
While you have to be careful that you don’t end up hating what you used to love, what about making a little pocket money from what you enjoy and what you are good at?
Many people have blocks around money and charging for something that they have created “easily”, as they see it with their eyes.
Money is energy though, it wants to be used and spent and it wants to bring joy and grow. Just remember if people want to give you money for what you have created they want to show how they value you and what you are selling.
So, do you have a talent you can make money with?:
- Baking
- Painting
- Photography
- Gardening
What about Network Marketing? People can have a negative reaction to Network Marketing or MLM ( Multi-level Marketing) but the reputable companies who offer these opportunities are an ideal way to start a business of your own with low investment and little risk.
There are a variety of different industries offering these opportunities such as:
- Children’s books
- Greeting cards
- Beauty
- Health & Wellness
- Travel
Take your pick the world is your oyster.
What Next?
Since writing this blog post back in March 2021 (Today is 30th October 2024) my business has evolved.
From helping women create healthy lifestyles to now supporting women through the menopause transition naturally. Using food and holistic lifestyle techniques to reduce estrogen dominance and create hormone harmony.
During this time I devised my SHIFT System.
