I personally believe that hobbies are very beneficial to ones mental health. Especially if one isn't working. We need to find things to do that will occupy our time. We do not want to be just sitting around doing nothing. That just gives us opportunity to dwell on our problems. We need to get away from our thoughts and be occupied with something.
A person needs to sit down and figure out what sort of things that they enjoy doing. Maybe even experimenting with different activities just to find out what we do like. There are myriads of choices out there. For example. Reading, listening to music, painting, drawing, knitting, playing a musical instrument, writing, and playing computer games. These are things that someone can do individually.
There are other things one can do that involves other people. For example. Playing hockey, soccer, tennis, baseball, playing board games, playing card games, playing floor hockey, volley ball, playing chess, engaging in track and field, skiing, snowshoeing with others, and many other activities as well.
A person can engage in activities such as bird watching, hiking, canoeing, fishing, camping, nature watching, back packing, whale watching, winter camping, and deep sea fishing. The list is endless.
All these activities are very beneficial to a persons mental health. Doing things that don't involve other people are great for just spending time with yourself. A person needs time out from all the other activities and hassles of life. Engaging in individual activities help you get focused on what you are doing and just have fun. It teaches you to be successful at your activity. It helps you develop good self-esteem. It teaches you to believe in yourself. It shows you that you can do things and be successful at what you are doing. It is just beneficial to you psychologically and emotionally. It gives you a sense of accomplishment. It gives you something to do to give you meaning and purpose in life. A person does not have to work to find meaning and purpose in life. You can find it in your hobbies. Overall it is just great for you mental health.
What about engaging in activities that involve other people? This is very beneficial to your mental health as well. It helps you get out and be with other people. You don't have to sit around where you live and be alone all of the time. Consumers have a habit of sticking to themselves and not getting out to socialize. It's a pretty lonely life. If we get out and engage in activities with others we are not so alone in life. It teaches us how to conduct oneself appropriately when engaging in social activities. It teaches us how to communicate with others. It teaches us what team work is all about. Very simply engaging in social activities brings much joy and happiness in life.
Overall hobbies are a great thing to have in ones life. The benefits are endless. I have just scratched the surface. There many many other benefits to engaging in hobbies as well. If you are just sitting around not doing anything with your time try to pick something that you might enjoy doing and give it a try. You will be surprised at the outcome. If you have to experiment with different activities until you find one that best suits your personality, and that you love to do. I engage in hobbies when I am not working at my jobs that I have. I get great pleasure out of doing this. I get the same benefits from it that I have been discussing in this article. Give it a try. You will not be disappointed.
