What is a Hobby?
Here’s my best definition of a hobby: A hobby is a regular activity done for enjoyment, typically during one’s free time. Hobbies are usually not done professionally (or for payment).
Hobbies Examples
There are so many great examples of hobbies! It just really depends on your interests and how much time you have to dedicate to your new hobby.
We’ll share lots of hobbies examples here, but also don’t be afraid to ask others about their favorite hobbies. You may even find a friend to take up a hobby with (a great way to get some accountability)!
If we’re looking at the most popular examples of hobbies, and ones you may be most familiar with, I’d say some good examples of hobbies are: running, yoga, doing puzzles, reading, and cooking!
Obviously, there are many, many more examples of hobbies, and we will list a bunch of them throughout this post!
