Since I have recently posted about my lack of hobbies, I think too many hobbies is way better than none at all. Plus, what better way to narrow down what […]

And eating, though I can’t cook to save my life. I’m rather inept at anything that involves, balance, running, catching, throwing, grace, or much else, but I do have a talent for multitasking. If it involves eating, reading and texting all at the same time… I’m set 😀

Now, I can barely find time to read, I took up blogging to start writing again, and I only knit if someone I know is having a baby!

A few years ago I took up running to lose weight, and now I’m a triathlete too – both time consuming (and somewhat expensive) hobbies!

I’m a little obsessive once I find something I like, but now i need to work on cultivating social relationships (I’m a very private person with few social connections!). Do you socialize much? Could your friends or BF introduce you to activities you might enjoy?

I have worked so much of my adult life that I don’t know how to cultivate hobbies either. I read a lot and go to the gym but I feel like those don’t qualify.

It forces you to learn a lot of tech stuff and keep you on top of trends AND meet some new friends 😀

One thing that helps me with my hobbies is to do them with other people who are likely to push me to keep going. For example, I found a tennis partner on tennisopolis.com back in September and we’ve been playing every week. But not because of me. If it was up to me, we’d play like once a month. But he just texts me the same time every week and finds a day we both can play. It’s been really great to be consistent with something!

My other hobbies (I guess they are mostly sports) have fallen to the wayside sadly, haven’t been surfing since December, or bicycling since summer when the bike got stolen. But I try to make time everyday for doing something other than sitting in front of computer/watching TV.

With a toddler running around, my “me” time is seriously lacking! But my #1 hobby since I was a kid is reading. It’s like breathing to me. I always have a book on my nightstand ready to open. You mentioned yoga which is something I want to get back into as well. Congrats on almost finishing school! 🙂

Since I’ve become serious about blogging, I’ve found that I have very little time for any of my other hobbies.

A few comments mentioned yoga, and one mentioned snowboarding, and the costs involved. Both can be done on a Nintendo Wii fairly inexpensively… although not the same as real-life.

Also, for those of us who have children… they become your new hobby. Nothing is more enjoyable (at times) than raising children.

Life changes so much (for the better) once I got rid of the tv, the cable bill and the desire to “veg out”.

I cook more now (real food!), I read (a lot), I have discovered photography and I have also realized I have a lot more time that I ever thought.

I take all the time needed to chat with my friends and family. I go out more (eg – going for walks, strolling through farmers markets, going over to friend’s places for coffee)

I think a hobby is just something you enjoy doing – so for me, nothing is more enjoyable than cooking a meal or taking a walk on a nice day. In the summer, I cannot wait for early morning swimming in an outdoor pool 😛
