i need a hobby got any ideas?

Question

i work full time in quite a stressfull job and when i come home i just sit in the house doing nothing but would like to get out and do something with my life so if you have got any ideas let me know

Answer 1

I also have a stressful job, work on average 50+ hours a week, I find that doing Jigsaws relaxes me(strange but true). I don't care whether I fix 1 piece or 100. If this is not to your liking join a ladies swimming club, one of the best forms of exercise, and leaves you relaxed.

Answer 2

The obvious answer in my opinion would be to take a class at your local community college. You would be meeting people and might find a stimulating new interest at the same time. For a start, I can't think of anything more relaxing than an adult education course in oil painting or watercolor painting. If you don't think you have any talent,it doesn't matter. That's the purpose of the adult education classes....to learn and have fun without the pressure of getting a good grade.If your community college doesn't offer any painting classes,look for a class at your local craft store. Painting for personal expression is both relaxing and rewarding.

Answer 3

Hobbies to meet people:
ballroom dancing (cheap group lessons)
soccer league
volunteer for cause dear to you
visit different religious services every Sunday 1 month straight
community college class (non-credit are the most fun)
fencing, martial arts, or self defense class
'Solo' hobbies:
crafting (scrapbooks, knitting, etc)
get a pet
hiking
jogging
gardening
window shopping
musical instrument lessons
theater

Answer 4

Volunteer as a dog walker at your local rescue centre. They're always looking for people. Gets you fit too!

Get a bike, you see so much more when you cycle.

Buy a set of cheap small glasses and some glass paints, design your own candle holders.

Horse riding is very freeing.

Is there an instrument you always wanted to be able to play, take evening classes.

Answer 5

Reading is good, I usually have some embroidery going too. That's pretty portable. Knitting and crocheting, of course. I have a friend who lucets on the train and gets funny looks. No funny looks for knitters, but definately for a luceter (if that's a word.) Beats me what's so weird about it, or why people don't just ask what she's doing. Oh, my hubby used to make chain mail on the train. That's a good conversation starter, which was bad for him because he's Deaf and would have to stop what he was doing to answer questions :)

Answer 6

How about Toad sexing,it makes an interesting career too! Failing that have you ever considered the joys of Conchology?
I believe that Pigeon racing is all the rage in Uttar Predesh these days.
Tea bag Origami perhaps? Stage Mesmerism? Bear Wrestling?
I know , you could ponder dating a Wiccan Deacon on an excursion to observe the Aurora Borealis !

Answer 7

Try the following:
1. Read books, fiction (mystery, suspense, romance, fantasy, science fiction, etc.) and nonfiction (self-help advice books, biographies, political and social commentaries).
2. Bake and cook, or learn how to bake and cook. Try recipes in cookbooks or better yet attend short culinary classes.
3. Exercise. Do cardiovascular (jogging, running, badminton, tennis, swimming etc.) and weight training (dumbbells, etc.). Buy necessary gymn equipment you can use at home to save on gymn membership fees.
4. Take care of pets. Try creatures of the earth (dog/cat/rabbit/hamster/guinea pig/rat), the waters (tropical fishes, pet lobster, turtle), and the air (birds, parakeets, poultry, etc.).
5. Create your own Internet Blog and document your daily thoughts and reflections on life.
6. Learn a foreign language. Take evening or weekend classes.
7. Take a graduate degree. Enroll in weekend, evening or distance learning classes.
8. Explore your hidden talents. Take art lessons or piano classes or gardening or pottery.

Good luck!

Answer 8

A lady I knew used to make beautiful doll houses out of matchsticks or ice block sticks! She glued them together and made furniture out of matchboxes and whatever she could lay her hands on! The colours were really bright and vibrant! She gave them to the children at first, then she started selling them at her local market and they sold like wildfire! She also made little shops and she'd cut adds for soup and and such like, out of the newspapers and magazines, and stick them on the outside of the little shops! She gave her job up, and did it full time! She moved away a couple of years ago. It'll give you some ideas anyway!

Answer 9

Get a little boat, like a Sharpie, you can build it yourself, or have it built, and sail!
Bicycles are fun, but Sailing is quiet and relaxing. Get really goofy on it and start Raceing, you will get wet, and the boat will turn over, but that is part of the fun.
A Laser or a Sunfish is a very fun factory built boat, they are FUN!

Answer 10

If your looking for something energetic go for your local latin american/ballroom dance class-it's fantastic, and if it's a good class you won't need to take a partner. Looking for something to do at home?Try scrapbooking-my mum got me into it, and I'm just starting out but I love it.
