I recently posted a question on my Instagram Story asking people what their hobbies were. Several people reached out to tell me theirs and a few others said they don’t have one but would like to. This got me thinking… as an adult, finding a hobby can be pretty darn difficult. Between work, trying to balance a social life, a consistent skincare routine and everything else, it can be tough to find the time for a hobby.
However, it’s important to make time for something that makes you happy. We all have bad days or weeks and a hobby can help make those better (for me – sometimes a nap works too but hey, self-care comes in many forms depending on the person and day). I had to do some soul-searching to figure out my hobbies. Check out some of my hobbies below:

My husband had this problem of not being able to find a hobby. He’s too much of a bull in a china shop to build model cars with those tiny parts. Video games just make him angry when he loses. Woodworking just… no lol. He recently picked up a free lawnmower and fixed it up. Now he’s got an ATV he’s going to do. I’m so glad he finally has something he can do without me lol.
I have the opposite problem, too many hobbies. Currently I knit/crochet, postcard swap, and do mixed media and sub-par acrylic painting. I also just bought a Betta fish, so I guess that’s sort of a hobby too now.

Hi Salem, your hobbies sound great though! I am the same way.. I always find new hobbies and take on a few too many but as long as you enjoy them that’s all that matters!
