Trying to set aside a small amount of spare time to find a new hobby can sound stressful if you are already struggling to find a good work- life balance. No hobby has to be all-consuming. It is possible to find a hobby that you can practice and enjoy as and when time allows. Having a hobby allows us to explore ourselves. Engaging in a hobby may be a way to find out what you are capable of. A hobby can be challenging or relaxing. It is entirely up to you to cross the boundary and find a which hobby suits you.
People who lead hectic lifestyles will find that they benefit from a relaxing hobby. If at the end of the day you find yourself sat in a cosy chair losing yourself in a good book then what better hobby could you find. For as long as you are living and breathing that storyline you are unwinding and forgetting your day to day worries. Many people find time management difficult. If you take up a hobby and find that you enjoy it then you may well find that your time management skills become honed.
At certain times during our lives many of us find that we feel isolated. Embarking on a new hobby can help you recover from the `empty nest syndrome`, a recent divorce or bereavement. A group hobby is especially good for social purposes. If you find yourself looking at a hobby that involves group participation then undoubtedly you will meet new people along the way. The hobby that started out as one hour per week enjoying floral art or car maintenance may lead you to find that you are invited to attend a group coach outings or an annual dinner dance.
A hobby allows us to find confidence in ourselves that we may have temporarily lost. If the hobby demands that we are creative and a certain amount of praise comes our way then it can boost our self esteem. If you are fortunate you will find a hobby that costs little to enjoy. An inexpensive hobby is just as easy to find as one that will cost you a small fortune. Temper the hobby to your income or it may end up being a source of stress that you can well do without.
Taking up a new hobby is something that can be done at any stage during your life.

I think that the subject of this article is really interesting, I know many people who forget to take a time for themselves,they live stressed out, so It can result very helpful for them. A hobby is a way to disconnect ourselves from the world for a while, recently my hobby is reading in my living room,It's a really comfortable place, even when I don't have much time cause I have a really busy day I take at least half hour to do it. In vacations I like also running in the park with music on, It's really relaxing to me. :)

I personally think that having a hobby can do a lot for us. These days everybody seems to be in a constant hurry and sometimes we feel the hours we have aren’t enough, this can cause stress and even sickness sometimes. As the article says a hobby can take your mind away from problems and help you relax, also it makes you discover things that you’re really good at, which is really rewarding. I truly believe we all need to find something we love and enjoy doing and use it as anti-stress therapy.

Hello everyone. Well, this topic is quite useful because a hobby can help us to escape from the routine and things that we do and occupy a significant part of our day. If we have one, we can use it as a break to disconnect us from the world and dedicate some time to ourselves; in fact I think that reading a good novel can improve our quality time. I can say that reading is my hobby, I love to dedicate about an hour of my time everyday to a novel that catches my attention; right now I’m reading “Of Love and Other Demons” by Gabriel García Márquez and it really relaxes me after a hard day.
ResponderEliminarBy: Diana Becerra
Actually I think the article is quite stimulating as we talk about the hobbies that we can do, makes us a bit interested in our lifestyle and how we can improve it with a hobby that does not interfere with our daily work.
ResponderEliminarIn my personal opinion and I think that could be relaxing and also can be quite helpful to have a hobby in our daily lives as we can afford moments of relax that are essential to learn more about ourselves and have a life so much healthier and less stress as much as for us and for those around us.
My hobby is drawing and designing, I think this helps me to put in a side the difficulties of the daily life so i can give color and life to many things.

Greetings ... I think that having a hobby, it is very important for life, so long as we feel comfortable with what we do, we are all different, we have our own tastes and each is fun in its own way, it is disturbing when we find or decide do nothing. I particularly identify with a piece of the article;" Engaging in a hobby may be a way to find out what you are capable of" - I started a year ago at the theater group at the university, was at first curious, now is my hobby, I like acting and I realized that I have a talent for it.

Well, I really liked this article! I think that everybody needs to find a hobby, a productive way to spend leisure time, because it’s very dangerous spending too much time doing nothing. Personally, I think that is rarely a good thing too leisure. On the other hand, practicing any activity in free time can make you feel useful and awaken your creativity. In our case, as students of language, we can take advantage of many hobbies that can help us to improve the mastery of the languages we are learning, for example: watching movies, reading novels, listening to music... I encourage you to get a fun, entertaining, educational and relaxing hobby, do not be so difficult!

In my personal opinion, hobby can do the life light and more relaxed. I love to go to the movie and enjoy the comedy and biography films and listening music and reading books. In this way my main rests and I return to my chores and activities with a renewed actitud and energy. I think hobby allows me a balance in my life, because I do that I like in constrast that I have to do¡

It's really an interesting topic to know how difficult can be find a new hobby to allow us relax ourselves or have a new challenge. It`s true that no all people can find a balance and they are in a position that are not capable of have a hobby. This is when the people have to choose between the different kinds of hobby as simple as a good reading or to engoy a good movie. This simples things can be very relaxin and in some cases of great learning.
ResponderEliminarHi everybody! I really like this topic, is very important and interesting. In my opinion, I think that having an activity that we like is a great way to get away from everyday life and of make it a trap to the routine. So then, is a way relax, distract and even stimulate our minds. I have several hobbies as walk with my friends, play kikingball, ride a bike... Are some ways that help me out of the routine.

Having a space for a hobby in our schedules allows to us break the routine, I highly recommend physical activities like for example Yoga, than through exercises and stretchings allows to take the body to a point of physical and mental balance than help us a lot to continue with the daily exigences. In Yoga we can find also meditation, a type of passive hobby that help to calm our mind and animals impulses through contemplation and observation. By: Rumenique Meza

Well, I think that the article is very interesting because is an important area in our lifes where the people almost don't pay attention like the free time that can dedicate to themselves and is what we commonly "hobbies". In my personal opinion I think that's a really good way to be relax and make something different to forget the busy days in our jobs or studies. Personally, I ever have been in several activities or hobbies like dancing groups, releases on rappel, scouts, studio crafts, swimming, athletics, language courses, etc and all have contributed something of learning in my life and the most important thing I was relaxed and made many friends =)
ResponderEliminarI think that the video games can contribute with the violence in the daily life, since the new generations come very connected with this type of entertainment, and this causes in some cases a conduct very similar to the one that they are observing, because they try to imitate the actions of the prominent figures to understanding the video game and to being able to consolidate in this one.
ResponderEliminarAbout conclusion I think that really the virtual reality has a great impact on the human behavior, be in positive or negative form, and these violent games really affect in the form of violent life of everything that one that relates to these.
hello everyone, is a topic most interesting. I consider our routine daily need a hobby, allowing distraction and enjoyment, Forget that our body needs to be relaxes, causes illnesses, product of the wear physical and mental. Personally feel the time is not enough, this makes that the concerns and stress do not allow me relieve my routine daily. Therefore, the importance of adjust balance our activities and time for develop a hobby that favors our welfare.

Finding a hobby should be important for everybody, especially nowadays when is all about the social networks. People spend so many time in it and do nothing but chat or post photos, forgetting what an important and powerful tool could be, but also, forget the world around them, the tons of things you can do just by getting out of your house. Having a hobby can be a way to express and know more about yourself and the things you’re able to do.
ResponderEliminarMost of people complain because they think they aren't good enough doing something, maybe it is because they haven't find a cool stuff to do. Finding a hobbie it's the best way to run away from problems, stress, for being in shape or just for fun. Hobbies can prove yourself that you are able to do many things that you haven't done yet and also can prove anyone whom criticize you that you are amazing doing that. I really don't have a hobbie but I consider listening to music, talking and practicing English are hobbies for me.
ResponderEliminarHello everyone, well, i think that this topic is very interesting for us, because a hobby could be a way out of the daily routine. Also we can find into the hobby, adventures, new friends, relax, learn new things, and have new expectations in the life. For people who don't have time during the week like me, They may use their weekends and free time for doing the hobbit that you more like or the more interesting for your lifestyle. Well, after i read this topic, i will try to find a good hobby for my, maybe play football all weekends in the park. Good bye and thanks for this information.
ResponderEliminarHi!!! I think that the persons have a hobby that it helps himself relax after a long day of work or study, a hobby can help us to escape from the routine and things that we do and occupy a significant part of our day, this way it helps us to have a balance in our lives, also in some cases as practicing sports it helps to that and our body is healthy and full of life, in my case i love cook and it relaxes me very very much!
ResponderEliminarBy: Gabriela Castro
Well, a hobby allows that people can enjoy different experiences for example when practice activities as: extreme sports, sing, dance, practice football, watch TV, listen to music, etc. I think that is good for each one but everybody have different forms to see the things but also there are hobbies for each personality. I don’t have one hobby in special maybe could be chat with my friends and family, I watch movies, I sometimes draw, and other things.
ResponderEliminarIt is good this topic.
What an interesting topic! I don’t think we necessarily need to look up for a hobby because sometimes we just entertain ourselves without even knowing it, just like when you’re bored and end up playing “Solitaire” in your PC.
ResponderEliminarDid you know that there are hobbies that we can practice and other ones that we just can enjoy without doing any effort? For example, playing the piano and listening to music. These two activities are based on music but they are not received in the same way and, at the same time, they both are as healthier as sports (in an emotional level, of course).
As a personal experience, music is one of the best hobbies, along with reading, because they take you easily to another world. As I always say: music is my escape and I wouldn’t change it for anything.
Hi! I have to say that I think the same that the author of this article because there's no a better way to relax that find or practice a hobby. Sometimes I feel very stressing because I have to study and work almost 24/7! But I love read a good book and that's what I do to relax, I read everyday in my way to Rubio, which takes enough time and makes easier the travel to me!
ResponderEliminarI like this topic, have a hobby is the way that, the people can help themselves, because currently the job, the economic situation, and others things affect our way of life. A hobby can be whatever
ResponderEliminarThing for example: sports, talk with people, collect objects, walk, visit museums and others. Well,
have a hobby is very important, because we always need to be relaxed for face the new challenge,
besides a hobby improves our health and soul.
This is one of the most interesting topic, because we always forget to have a little time for ourselves, we must to remember that we need to have some fun with stuff that we like to do and stuff that we would like to improve on. So we need to have some time for ourselves and just forget about every single problem that we have in our lifes and enjoy our time expending it the best way we want to. Like i do when i can, i just listen to music and practice mi english with it, or i practice a little soccer. Stuff like that can relaxe us a little everyday.

Hi, this is a interesting topic, I thnik, that every single person need to have a good hobby, and need to do an activity, that keep them distracted from the all activities work-life, but, this also helps to appreciate and enjoy the environment you share with more confidence, a hobby its the way you can get feel more live, open to the worl, not to be all day in a computer or cellphones, like the most of young people this days...
ResponderEliminarthats what I think...
Renzo Barrios...
Well, I think that to have a hobby, is not necessary to have skills. You just have to be able to enjoy it. A hobby is a distraction, it has to be entertained, you don't have to be worry, thinking, if you have to be the first or the best, those things just end up with all the fun. Also, a hobby could be just as simple as a music session in the afternoon or watch a movie in the evening. If you like it, it's all that matters.
ResponderEliminarHobbies are important to relax the mind and to get lost from a stressfull day. The main goal isn't related with the time you can spend on them; instead of that, it is to enjoy and forget all the problems and all the worries that comes with such a big rutine, which are the studies, the job, and the search for an economic stability. As i understood, hobbies doesn't need to be too extreme or simples; although in my opinion, the more exhausting a hobby could be is the more you can drain your stress, to drain the excess of energies that may lead to problems in the nerves or in the heart. For example, going to the gym is a good hobby where you can share with other people, drain lots of stress, dissipate every bad thought, and all this at the same time you can care about your health.
ResponderEliminarDany Berbesí. Idiomas extranjeros B2012
i agree with the paragraph, everybody around the world try to find a way how to make money for living, in our days everybody cares about it, and sometimes we work so hard to find it, or to be something in life that we forget about the real happiness, so is neccesary to do something else. for example, after work everyday you can go to the metropolitano park for walk with friends, or you can go for swimming, or if you like to dance, call everyday your friends to your house and do it. just an hour if you don´t have much time
ResponderEliminaranyway, we should do something else all the time to be better with ourselves, and guess what ? this is cheap..
hobbys are a great way to spice up your life and to switch the mood of the every day routine behind them there is a sense of freedom and pleasure from being able to do what you love the most, the best hobby i could find in my life is reading, i've learned about how to handle difficult situations in life and it helps me to get rid of stress, whenever i read the rest of the world dissapears and my worries go away.
ResponderEliminarI think that the hobbies are very important, because help people to relax after a hard day of work, a bad day, studies, or simply for fun. Sometimes people have a hobby but, them say that it's not a hobby, anything could be a hobby, like cook, eat, read, watch T.V etc. Although i think that i have many hobbies like play in the computer, the social networks, talk to my friends,and watch movies all day, but i really love play soccer, it is my favorite hobby forever. Also is healthy and very fun.

A hobby is an activity that allows us to relax and to distract our minds during our free time. Through the same we can demonstrate our aptitudes to realize something that benefits us and teaches us to create and practice skills that the human being acquires by the experiences in life. Our free time we must use it leaving aside the worries since the same produces us stress. Practice a sport, it is a good hobby, since it is good for the physical and mental health, play a musical instrument, draw, paint, and so on. They are alternatives that can take us out of our daily routine, from this way we can have a good time with different social groups that we can know along the way. Where there is a will, there is a way. Realize an activity in our free time allows you to get away from the wrong path that in a future could convert into obstacles that can prevent you from going forward and from being an example or the principal image of your family.

I do believe that this article have a pretty interesting point of view about hobbies. However, I think there are lots of others stuff you can do for a hobby that doesn’t necessarily involve dangerous things. It does not even mention people who likes to write, or people who loves to travel, or the ones that really enjoy taking pictures of others and themselves. One hobby or another, there is only one thing for sure, you have got to like it, because a hobby is not a one-time thing, it is something that you do for fun and for several times.
ResponderEliminarWell I think that a hobby is esencial to all of us, because we can change of routine. Every body's got time, we've got time to go to partys and go out with friends. So, we need a hobby that could help us to get better as persons or health. Some people paint or write, other go to walk or do any kind of sport. For example, when I'm at home I like to read a book and when I get tired I play videogames on my computer. On weekends I go to the country to take free air and do paragliding, It's awesome, I love extreme sports.
