Hobby.... A Way To Stay Refreshed!!

Hobby is defined as a regularly undertaken activity that is done for pleasure, especially during one's leisure time. By continually participating in a particular hobby, one can acquire substantial skill & knowledge in that area. There are n numbers of activities like outdoor activity, performing arts, creative activity which can be pursued in one's leisure time. And if taken seriously and practiced genuinely, these hobbies may help you in earning as well. A person who engages himself in an activity solely for fun is called an amateur. On the other hand one who engages himself in an activity for remuneration is known as professional. So your hobby is a great way to earn money as well as pleasure while doing the work. An amateur can turn into a very good professional and expert in his field because of his rigourous practice & the involved pleasure in doing that work. And it's been said that you can only perform and excel when you like what you do.
Outdoor activities include gardening, watersports, fishing, basketball. These outdoor activities will not keep you only fit, but also refreshed. Often outdoor activities like various sports teaches team building, team work, positivity, help us to be dynamic.
Performing arts like singing, acting, magic, dancing, playing musical instrument can give you name & fame if proper training is taken. Often these arts are the way to feel your soul, to get connected with your inner self.
These arts gives you peace and you feel energetic.
Creative activities like photography, movie making, painting, writing, jewellery making etc gives your chance to explore your imagination and thoughts. You can express your feeling & thoughts through your photography, short stories. These activities, if taken seriously and done passionately can earn you money & fame as well.

For me, hobby is an activity, my interest, enthusiasm undertaken for pleasure & relaxation. It's an opportunity to pursue my passion & interests in my leisure time. Though I've never thought of turning my hobby into my profession. But I love reading, writing, cooking, dancing, and many more. My hobbies give me a positive energy whenever i feel low.

These days we often complain that modern life has become stressful. But we never gave it a thought why it has become so stressful instead of having so many amenities. It's because we often spend our leisure time camped out in front of the TV or computer. We pass our free time laying on the couch. We never take pain of going outside and interact with people, do what we like.
People don't take hobbies seriously. But hobbies can bring us joy, keep our mind fresh, expand our creativity and most importantly rejuvenated. Those who feel depressed & apathetic, it's because of lack ofhaving something that they feel passionate about.

So I suggest give some time to your hobby and then feel the difference...!!!
