The Significance of Hobbies


Nowadays, we do not have time to relax and spend time with ourselves. We are always preoccupied with our work. Chatting on social media all the time is not a good idea. This article discusses the various types of hobbies as well as the importance of hobbies.

What is a hobby?

A hobby is an activity or a task that we do in our leisure time. A hobby may also be referred to as a pastime or recreation. A hobby is often something you engage in on a regular basis without expecting benefits. But, if you excel in any hobby, you may take part in competitions and win rewards.

The perfect examples for them are badminton, chess, painting, and photography. The most popular hobbies tend to vary over time. For example, sticker collecting used to be highly popular, but nowadays clicking selfies or checking out social media are probably more in demand. People should participate in at least one activity apart from their regular day-to-day activities. They are typically viewed as a means of relaxation away from the burden of work or education.

Why do we need recreation?

Hobbies help us to explore our inner interests and abilities while also learning about what we love and are excellent at. It also helps our brain in encouraging ourselves in that particular field so that we may excel in it. This helps us develop confidence while also strengthening our minds and body. It prevents us from being passive learners or phone addicts.

People who have hobbies become highly active and enthusiastic in all respects. They gain multitasking skills as a result. It helps them concentrate on their task. It promotes their life skills while also increasing their interest in the world. Having a pastime improves our talent and interaction with people. It improves our thought power and logical abilities. It helps us become physically as well as mentally fit.

How to identify our favourite hobby?

It is extremely simple to identify our favourite pastimes. Proceed sequentially through athletics, art, public speaking, drama, literature, music, dance, swimming, and puzzle solving. Try all of these activities and see which one you are most interested in. If you dislike outdoor activities, look for others that are engaging and indoors. If you enjoy painting, look up numerous diagrams on the internet and begin drawing them yourself. If you enjoy writing, try taking part in essay or article writing contests. If you enjoy dramas, consider doing a skit with your buddies on a Sunday. Just analyze whichever hobby is capturing your attention and relieving you of worldly discomforts.

When there is no time, where is the question of a hobby? These days people are getting stuck to their mobile phones. So they have no time for other hobbies. Spending time on a mobile phone is not a hobby to them. It is a necessity. We see many people viewing their mobiles while eating also. That is not a hobby but an addiction.

I feel we all should have some hobbies.That will give us some relaxation from our routine work. Reading a book, playing an indoor game or an outdoor game, etc are good hobbies. Sometimes our hobbies will come in handy to us. When we are very seriously working, our minds will get blocked and may not work properly. At such times, if we spend a little time in a favorite time pass activity we will get fresh and our mind will start working normally.

Hobby is a great entertainment and pastime for many and having hobbies is definitely a positive trait in one's life. It is necessary to differentiate between hobby and routine monotonous work. At the same time what is a work for one person might be a hobby for another. A person can earn his livelihood by doing some work but same work can be a hobby for other person who even can spend some money for that. The work accomplished by pursuing hobbies gives a great satisfaction to the person. I remember, during my childhood, we saw some children collecting stamps and things like that. I was fascinated by their collections. One day I found an empty matchbox on the roadside and saw a picture on it. I just picked it up. After sometime I saw another one in the market lying just outside a small shop and it had a different picture on it. It generated interest in me to collect them and by the year end I had a good collection. I pursued it further and I had collected more than 100 different empty matchboxes and I considered it as my prized possession. During one exhibition one stall owner allowed me to showcase my collection and it got much applauded by the visitors and I felt happy about it. So, small or big, a hobby is basically to give happiness and a feeling of having done something interesting to the person following it.
