5 reasons to start hobbies + 20 feminine hobby ideas
I didn’t know what to say. I was socializing with extended family that I hadn’t seen in a long time. We were catching up, and one of them asked me so, what are your hobbies? I was completely frozen because I didn’t have an answer.
My kids were still young and I always put all of my time and energy into them. I never made time for myself.
It was in that moment that I realized I didn’t have any hobbies at all. Sometimes it takes a situation where you are cornered to realize that you are missing something.
It wasn’t too long after that conversation that I decided I wanted to become more elegant and put together, and I realized that elegant women always set some time aside for themselves.
Elegant women like to nurture their passions and explore new hobbies as well.
If you are looking to become a classy woman, it’s time to find and commit to hobbies.
In this post I’m sharing 5 reasons why you need hobbies and also 20 ideas for feminine hobbies.
1.You will be more interesting
I don’t know about you, but I love to meet interesting people. I love to know where people have lived throughout their lives, where they like to travel and what they enjoy doing in their free time.
It is fascinating that everyone has their own special thing that makes them unique. Sometimes, you can network with people and learn things from them that you’ve always wanted to learn.
If you work a lot, it is important to have hobbies outside of work to help with maintaining a healthy work life balance. It isn’t healthy for your identity to be tied up with work and nothing else. It wasn’t healthy for me.
You will be more well rounded
I suppose this is similar to being more interesting, but elegant ladies are very well rounded and talented at different things.
It doesn’t have to be conventional things, but things that are healthy for their soul. Think of having a resume for your life. It isn’t as uptight as a work resume, but the way companies look for people with good work experience is the way you can view your hobbies.
You are building your experience in skills outside of work that will make you a more well rounded woman. This adds depth to your personality.
Your mental health will improve
I noticed a drastic improvement in my mental health when I started focusing on my passions and hobbies. Most recently, this year I purchased a new camera after only using my iphone for years.
I’ve loved photography since I was a kid but I felt de motivated because I wasn’t impressed with the iphone camera.
Purchasing a digital camera has really helped me be more creative, plan more photo shoots for the blog and it has made me really happy to do something I’ve loved for my whole life.
Starting a hobby will boost your mood and help you become happier.
You will meet new people
Depending on the hobbies that you choose, you may be able to connect with other people who enjoy the same things as yourself.
Even if you don’t actually meet these people in person, you will be able to connect with people online perhaps in groups or other things.
These relationships may turn into connections that will help you improve your life in ways you weren’t expecting. You may even make good friends.
You will get to focus on yourself
This is important if you are a mother like myself or you find that you always giving your time to other people.
It is easy to get distracted with life and realize that a lot of time has passed and you didn’t spend any of that time on yourself. Hobbies help you get alone or with friends and focus on something that is healthy for you.
