How to discover hobbies as an adult
In today’s episode I’m talking about how to discover hobbies as an adult and the benefits of having a hobby as an adult.
When we’re young it’s easy for us to have hobbies – they’re usually suggested by our parents however, as we start doing more adulting, we soon forget about our hobbies – citing that we have no time to do them – and then fall into the spell of working and paying bills. Then, eating and drinking become our hobbies.
Dining out and socialising are NOT hobbies. They are a part of human connection which is a basic need for our existence.
In this show, I talk about what hobbies are, how they will benefit you and how you can start choosing which hobbies you’d like to introduce into your life.
