Fortunately, some of us have extra time on our hands. When all the chores are done and the lazy afternoons or evenings get difficult to pass, doesn't your mind wander off towards eating or watching television. Although I have nothing against these two activities, but there are many more activities that are far more entertaining and fun. I am talking about indulging yourself in some kind of hobby where you can learn something new and unique. I am sure that while growing up, you must've thought about doing thousands of things but never got the chance to actually set things in motion. Well... what are you waiting for? The time is right NOW and since you have extra time on your hands, this is the perfect opportunity to start something fresh. So I hope that I have motivated you enough to go through the rest of the article and find something that you have always wanted to do and are deeply passionate about.
Cheap Hobbies for Men and Women
Picking a hobby isn't simple because you have to make sure that somewhere down the line, you don't get bored and leave it midway. Women are fickle (that's for sure) and hence, you need to be absolutely sure that you're enthusiastic about a particular hobby which you have selected. But there many be times when you actually cannot find the time, energy, or motivation to keep going. Those phases will come; but the best part is to try and find a balance between your personal life, your work life, and your hobby (or hobbies). You need to fight off those I-don't-think-I-can-do-this pangs, to carry on and get really engrossed in your hobby.
Whoever said that men can't have hobbies was wrong. I don't know if actually people think so, but I think that hobbies can be a great learning experience, regardless of gender. You evolve as a human being and get to do something productive with your life. And to me, that's the best thing life can ever teach you. A hobby is the right distraction and can switch your mood (for the better), any time of the day. Having said that, let's move on to finding you some good hobbies that women and men enjoy the most.
Writing - People with expressive ideas and vocabulary can turn their passion into writing poetry & short stories. If you can't think of what to write or are facing a tough time coming up with something interesting, then why not write about your day and make a personal diary out of it.
Cooking - This is one of the top most hobbies for men and women as it is comforting and relaxing. Within a short amount of time, you can transform few raw ingredients into a mouthwatering dish. And if you're new to cooking but have always had an interest or are keen on taking up cooking as a hobby, why not join cooking classes or tune in to Food Network channel and become a master in your own kitchen.
Handicrafts - This is one of the most productive hobbies. You will get great satisfaction from making paper crafts and jewelry, felting, crochet, gardening, needlework, pottery, sewing, wood carving, and painting glasses. Handicrafts is one of those hobbies that lets you make things with your own two hands.
Candle Making - Candle making as a hobby is chosen by women because they love the idea of making scented candles and then using them for personal use. With tons of aromatic fragrances, you can never go wrong with this one.
Camping - I know that this is a unique kind of hobby as not many people get a chance to just decide and leave for the weekend. But that's what this hobby is all about. You can enjoy this hobby alone, with family members, and/or friends. You can make this a monthly activity where you plan ahead of time.
Painting & Drawing - As kids, we all used to love to draw and paint cartoon characters, animals, birds, and mountains. Then why should it stop now? You can pick up right from where you left and find peace through painting and drawing.
Bird Watching - Get your binoculars and head down to the nearest park and/or forest. Take a nice hike through the trail and spot the most amazing birds you can find. This hobby not only satisfies your eyes and senses, but also gives you a wonderful workout.
Handwriting Analysis - You don't have to go anywhere to teach yourself how to analyze handwritings. There are books, DVDs, and online tutorials available for the same. All you have to do is study the material and apply the methods.
Video Games - No, no, no. Video games are not just for kids. You too can enjoy few hours of Xbox, Wii, or PlayStation games. And to make things even more exciting, invite your family members (possibly kids or your spouse) and/or friends to join you. The more, the merrier.
Pet Grooming - Do you love pets? Then why not take up pet grooming or training as a hobby. You can play with them, feed them, teach them fun tricks, and genuinely have a ball of a time. Take them out for walks and in turn, get a good workout yourself.
Floral Arrangement - Another great hobby is the floral arrangement. It is said that flowers have unique powers to relax and calm your mind and reduce stress. So after a long day at work, why not pluck some flowers from your garden and teach yourself beautiful floral arrangements.
Horse Riding - If any of your friends, girlfriend/boyfriend, or spouse knows horse riding, you too can learn the skills and join them. It's great fun when you take an evening or early morning gallops through the woods or open fields and enjoy the beauty of nature around you.
Singing & Dancing - If you love singing and dancing, why not turn this passion of yours into a hobby. It is a great stress buster and relaxes your whole body and mind. Check out MTV or VH1 and copy your favorite music artists, and have fun. This is a beautiful art that can be pursued either as a hobby or you can take it up as a profession too.
Reading - I haven't come across anyone who doesn't love reading. Well, if you have the time, then why not take reading books into account. I know that the bestselling books can be expensive which really defies the purpose here. So what I suggest is to buy books from libraries and garage sales. You can definitely find excellent prices there.
Fishing - Do you live close to the beach or a lake? If yes, then fishing is our next hobby for you. The quiet surroundings and the splashing noise of the water is very relaxing. This quiet time can be an invigorating experience for you as you can recharge yourself and get some lost energy back.
Bowling - Last, but certainly not the least, bowling. Make a family or friends bowl team, hit the bowling alley, and spend your Saturday evenings enjoying with everyone. Once you become good at bowling, you can enroll the team in some competition too!
