Get a Hobby, Get a Life!

Hobbies play an important role in the health and wellbeing of an individual, especially when it involves movement and social interaction. Hobbies keep our minds – and often our bodies – more active, instead of collapsing in front of the television after a day of work.

Focusing on even one single hobby can have a positive impact on your health? When you spend time doing your hobby you’re investing energy in something you either find relaxing or enjoyable.  Taking the time out for hobbies improves your overall health by decreasing overall stress.

Having hobbies can help you keep busy so you are not overeating, they can lower your blood pressure, provide a release from stress, and keep your mind and body active.

Besides the benefits of increasing mood, relieving and preventing stress, or the fact that it can release your creativity, hobbies provide us with a bit of quiet time that’s needed for us all to be our most productive selves.

So whatever you do for your hobby, fishing, sewing, dancing, gardening, sports, arts, photography, or whatever, the beauty of a hobby is you don’t actually have to be good at it, you simply have to enjoy it. Hobbies that we enjoy bring us joy. We get joy when we are doing them, and joy when we are thinking about them or discussing them as well. Find a bit of time to invest in your well-being through a hobby. Your health will thank you.
