As an adult, it’s sometimes difficult to find a hobby you have time for or enjoy enough to continue with, however, finding a fun hobby to do in your spare time can have many benefits. From helping you relax and take a break from your stressful life, to allowing you to meet new people with similar interests, having a hobby can have a positive impact on your everyday life.

So if you’re interested in finding new, relaxing ways of spending your free time, have a look through our list of 5 fun hobby ideas to take up this year.

Embroidery

Embroidery is an enjoyable and surprisingly calming hobby. You can begin with simple stitches and patterns and progress to creating more intricate designs as you become more skilful at it. Embroidery on clothing items is very trendy right now so you can update some of your older clothes and turn them into statement pieces in your wardrobe. There are many online tutorials on blogs or on YouTube so learning the basics isn’t difficult.

You can even make embroidery a social activity and join an embroidery group or simply invite your friends over so you can all learn together. Embroidery is a creative and therapeutic hobby, which will help you relax in your spare time or while watching something on TV. All you need to take up this hobby is some embroidery thread and an embroidery hoop. There are also some fantastic, inexpensive embroidery machines for getting started that you could have a look at.

Drawing or Painting

People often avoid painting or drawing because they think they’re not good at it, but it’s not always the results that matter, it’s the process! Drawing and painting can also be a very meditative hobby and you can begin by following easy online tutorials on YouTube or simply pick up a pencil and start doodling. If you start practicing this as a regular hobby, you will be able to start noticing your improvement after you finish each piece.

Start by drawing something simple, or get creative with colours in an abstract painting. There are so many different mediums to try, such as pencils, charcoal, acrylic paint, oil paint and watercolour. Have fun trying new styles and being creative with it. One day you may even be able to sell some of your artworks and make some extra cash out of your hobby!

Reading

Reading is an excellent hobby to get into. From fiction and non-fiction, to biographies and educational books, there is a massive variety for you to choose from. Once you get into a good book, you’ll find it difficult to put down and time will just fly by. Reading is not only enjoyable and relaxing, but helps you learn new things, broadens your vocabulary and keeps your mind healthy.

If you don’t particularly like reading on your own or find it a bit lonely, you can join a book club or simply start one with some of your friends. This way you can discuss books that you enjoyed, create a joint library so you can discover new books, and make reading a social activity. Reading can help take your mind away from your stressful life as you get lost in a completely different world! 

Jewellery Making

Making jewellery can be quite a fiddly hobby, but if you’re patient and enjoy creating unique and beautiful things then it’s worth giving it a try. To begin, all you need to do is to have a look around your local craft store for some beads and jewellery wire and just start stringing them together. Play around with different colour combinations and even incorporate some gem stone beads to make some truly amazing jewellery items that you can wear as statement pieces to your outfits.

Jewellery making can be a very meditative and creative hobby, and is perfect to do while catching up on your favourite TV series. Another plus side to jewellery making is that you can create lovely, unique gifts for your friends and family, and even sell some of your pieces to make some extra money or cover the costs of making them. 

Yoga

Yoga is a more physical hobby, which is not only good for your body, but incredibly relaxing and meditative for your mind. Yoga can help you let go of all the stress accumulated in your body and mind throughout the day. It helps to clear your head, while providing a great workout at the same time.

All you need to start practicing yoga is some stretchy pants, a clear space where you can move freely, and some beginner’s poses. There are many online resources, tutorials and videos that will help teach you some basic poses and guide you into more complicated moves when you’re ready. You could even join a weekly class if you would prefer a more interactive approach. Yoga is an amazing hobby to take up as it’ll help you let go of your worries and strengthen your body at the same time.
