Calming Hobbies That You Can Adopt

The 21st century is a very wonderful time to live in mostly because of technology. It is very easy to be on your screen a full day without difficulty. But sometimes we want to close our devices and do something else and live in the moment. These are some hobbies that we can take up to pull time from our phones

  1. Pottery

Pottery is using clay to mould/make pots, cups, plates and all types of ceramics. It is a beautiful art and can be taken up as a hobby.

2. Gardening

Gardening is basically a really small scale form of farming. So many people have their own way of gardening people use clay pots, backyards and even greenhouses. People may decide to grow small fruits like peppers or tomatoes, or grow flowers or other type of plants like cactus, ferns and lots more.

3. Knitting/Crocheting

Knitting and crocheting are a way to pass time. It is a cheap hobby because all you need a yarn and a knitting or crocheting pin. You can knit and crochet a lot of things ranging from hats to bags to sweaters. People also make clothes for themselves using this skill. Also knitting has a health benefit as it prevents arthritis. Imagine preventing a serious disease while making a beautiful gown for yourself. It would be magical

4. Photography

Almost everybody has a smart phone, and once in a while we all take pictures. This is not necessary what I am talking about. When we say photography, I mean with actually cameras. We live in a very beautiful world and even though we as human beings sometimes destroy it by pollution and indiscriminate cutting down of trees and destroying wildlife, we still have a beautiful planet. It will be awesome to take pictures of the beautiful sky and grasslands and the sea. You can also take pictures of family members and friends. That friend that does not have a good picture, you can be a hero and take a picture of the friend. This hobby can be a way to collect memories and store them

5. Reading

Reading is one exciting hobby. Personally, I see reading as a way to travel the world and see the world without actually doing it. You get to understand people more and what goes on in people’s minds by reading. You could also learn new word to improve your vocabulary, learn about new sicknesses, ideas and lots more. There are a lot of themes and plots and genres in books, you could choose educational books or fantasies,or biographies, fiction, non fiction there are so many varieties in reading.

6. Writing

The world today is filled with a lot of creative minds. Lots of people that have their own story to tell. Writing is a hobby that everyone can have. It is basically putting your thoughts and imagination into words. Writing can be also a way to clear your mind and calm yourself. It could take a lot of time to finish whatever you are writing but it’s okay because you are doing it at your pace. You can also choose from a whole lot of genres and plots.

7. Journalling

This can also be called Diary Keeping. It is basically writing in a journal or a diary about stuff that occured in a day. It is a summarized version of your day. It is a good hobby for people that like to keep track of their days and to recognize progress. It is also a good idea for people that have short termed memories and are forgetful.
