Finding Hobbies During a Lockdown

Finding a new hobby means finding something that can help you pass the time or commit to a craft.

Then again, finding a new hobby can also be a challenge, especially when you’re stuck at home for weeks on end.

Here are a few ways you can find the hobbies that are right for you considering the current situation:

What do you enjoy most?

Don’t look into other’s interests to find a new hobby. Look at your own.

How do you enjoy your time when you have the chance? What usually pops to mind? It doesn’t matter if you’re particularly good at it, so long as it gives you a sense of satisfaction every time you do it.

Exploration is key. Looking into what you enjoy doing in your spare time can lead to finding various hobbies you might want to explore.

Check-in on your past interests

What interests did you have in your youth?

Consider that question while you dig up the past. Perhaps that old sketch you did way back could lead you back to drawing, or that guitar you were given on your birthday could remind you that you’ve always wanted to be a musician.

It’s always exciting revisiting what used to grab your attention as a child to see if it works out once you have reached adulthood.

Try new things and see what sticks

If nothing else works out, trying things out on your own and seeing what resonates with you can also be a great way to find a new hobby.

Think of things you could try in isolation like learning a new language or coming up with a new recipe in the kitchen.

It’s all about testing the waters and seeing which ones you can swim in. It takes a bit of trial and error, but you’ll get around to finding a great hobby at home.

Finding a new hobby isn’t going to be easy. But, really, all you need is to make the effort of finding a wholesome activity to indulge in. Be persistent and don’t lose heart into finding what you’re truly passionate about!
