It helps relieve stress by keeping you engaged in something you enjoy. Hobbies give you a way to take your mind off the stresses of everyday life. They let you relax and seek pleasure in activities that aren’t associated with work, chores or other responsibilities.
What are hobbies?
Hobbies can be formed from anything we are interested to do when we have free time. We usually named hobbies as reading books, listening to music, gardening and stamp collecting, cycling, and swimming.
With this competitive lifestyle, it’s barely possible to find free time to engage with something interesting, time for a family gathering, or something that can distract our minds from this stressful lifestyle. So, engaging in a leisure time activity whenever we have the time, can be helpful to balance our life and the work and it is a way to simplify our lives.
How to choose a hobby?
Choosing a hobby to pursue in one’s spare time is determined by one’s interests and age. Kids prefer to engage in entertainment activities like watching cartoons, drawing their favorite characters, or playing games.
While the younger generation prefers to spend time with friends, go job hunting if they are looking for work, participate in outdoor activities such as camping and mountaineering, play sports such as cricket and basketball, or occasionally photography, cooking, and baking, or join gym workout classes,
The adults also have different views as they try to make themselves more relaxed. Usually, adults try to stay calm by reading a book, listening to their favorite songs, or watching a movie. If they are grandparents, they would prefer to spend the time with their grandkids.
Though both mental and physical well-being is very important to us, let’s talk about;

That may be due to our life patterns or age, or maybe it can happen due to destiny. No matter what brings us, what would if life is so boring. Nothing to do nor friends, neither happy, not single freedom.
Engaging in a hobby is the best way to help you achieve inner peace. Hobbies can be different because choosing a hobby is depending on the personal appearance of a person
Some people don’t like to have a hobby. But I think when we haven’t any, life will be more boring. As I mentioned earlier, a hobby can be defined as a multi-functional tool that can make oneself more valuable. There are so many benefits we can gain from engaging in hobbies.

Drawing and painting
Drawing and painting great ways to express emotions. People with anxiety/depression or stress used to express their emotions using drawing, so when you feel bad feelings, you can express them using art. But here I wanted to let you know that art is the best way which can make you more relaxed.
Drawing is a popular hobby among kids. Still, I remember when my brother was a kid, he never cries or express his emotions easily. One day I accidentally looked at his drawing book. The book was full of so many paintings. Some are smiley faces, and some pages are full of only colors, of various kinds, so I don’t know how to describe those.
But it made me realize that something was wrong with those. Finally, I found out, from drawing beautiful and colorful pictures to those undescribed drawings means that he always tried to express himself.
At the current moment also, his room was full of his drawings with different themes. Whenever he feels so depressed, he draws only black and white or gray mixed pictures.
According to him,
how drawing helps to relax our minds
Drawing is a good communication method. When he was full of thoughts or emotions that cannot be expressed, he expressed them using paintings. Even if he feels alone or stressed, he used the same method. Therefore, when the mind is out of those it will automatically relax
Writing
“Writing, the art of communicating thoughts to the mind through the eye, is the great invention of the world…enabling us to converse with the dead, the absent, and the unborn, at all distances of time and space.”
Abraham Lincoln
, Speeches And Letters Of Abraham Lincoln, 1832 1865
You do not need to be a successful writer. Not all the people who are using diaries are not the best writers in the world. They used that method sometimes to express their feelings and inner thoughts.
Writing is one of the best ways to be more relaxed because it is also a small technique that can be used when become more stressed. This hobby can make you more creative, can help to collaborate with others, and make you happier, and self-satisfied.
Listening to music
**Music has the power to heal the soul**
It is another powerful weapon that can be used against stress. I am a person who is addicted to music. The worst habit I ever had is whenever I want to take a shower or use the washroom I bring my phone with me, just to listen to music.
Music can make me more relaxed, it has the power to fix my mood, it can help me to express my emotions, and it can take away my loneliness, and make me more energetic.
Researches also prove that music can heal people and get them more relaxed. So if you wanted to try something, then try to listen to music. It has more beneficial effects than we expected.
