If you are here, you are probably looking for a new hobby to try and that is fantastic!

I, personally, have many hobbies, ranging from creative hobbies (watercolors and crafting), to active hobbies (barre and pilates) and mental/spiritual hobbies (yoga and reading).

Hobbies have enriched my life, made me happier, and helped me become an interesting, well-rounded person.

So, first, I applaud you for taking this first step towards adding an exciting new hobby to your life!

I’ll very quickly go over a few definitions and ideas about hobbies and why they’re so good for you, then I’ll get into our inclusive, exhaustive list of hobbies!

Let’s get started…

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 vary greatly, and can include active hobbies, mental hobbies, and creative pursuits.

When you have a hobby, this naturally leads you to acquiring skills and knowledge in your chosen area, as well as understanding the importance of time and spending it well. A hobby is active, instead of passive.

For this reason, I don’t tend to consider watching TV, for example, a true hobby.

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!

Advantages of Hobbies

There are just so, so many advantages of having one or more hobbies!

Here are just a few…

• Hobbies can strengthen your relationships as you collaborate, share, teach and learn from and with others.
• Hobbies are great for relaxation and can help you reduce stress. Hobbies are great self-care activities!

• Hobbies are just FUN, plain and simple!

Types of Hobbies

There are various types of hobbies out there, and everyone will probably have a category or two that they enjoy best.

For the purposes of this list, I am focusing on 8 different categories, or hobbies types: physical hobbies/active hobbies, creative and diy craft hobbies, mental hobbies, musical hobbies, collecting hobbies, food/drink hobbies, games/puzzles hobbies, and model/woodworking hobbies.

You can challenge yourself to try one of each type of hobby as a fun personal or family new years resolution.

Hobbies Ideas/List of Hobbies to Try

So let’s begin.

I’m going to start by listing hobbies by category, and then I’ll share lists of hobbies depending on your personality or desires (for example, hobbies to do alone).

Links will take you either to posts that share more about that hobby, or Amazon finds that will help you kick off your new hobby!

Physical Hobbies / Active Hobbies

Physical hobbies include sports and other interests that encourage you to move your body.

They’re good for your physical, mental, and social well being. You can do some of these yourself, or join local club teams or Facebook groups to meet up with others.

Best of all, you don’t have to be a good athlete to try one of these! The point is to have fun, stay active, and improve on your skill set. That’s it!

Most of these can be done alone, but some lend themselves well to community (such as learning a new language by taking a class, or traveling with a group of friends).

Mental hobbies also look great on a resume. They help make you a smarter, more well-rounded person-and what interviewer doesn’t want that?

Collecting Hobbies

This is a bit tricky because if it’s a hobby, it generally means that you’re not making money from it.

However, very often, when you put a lot of time into a hobby and become proficient at it, your thoughts may naturally turn to how you can make a profit from your hobby.

If this is you, and you’re looking for a list of hobbies that you can hopefully one day turn into a money making side hustle, start here…

Places you can sell your products include Etsy, Amazon, eBay, Society6, and craft shows/fairs.

I’ve sold on Etsy for a decade now, and it’s been such an enriching and challenging experience. I even created a list of crafts to make and sell on Etsy if you’re looking for even more online selling inspiration.

Sometimes, we’re in the mood for a hobby that is an investment or takes a lot of time and/or skill.

A lot of the time, though, we just want an easy hobby that we can pick up quickly, doesn’t require a huge time or monetary investment, and needs minimal supplies.

Fun Hobbies

see our best books on painting for a fun hobby!

Obviously, something that is fun for one person very well may not be fun for another.

BUT, there are definitely some hobbies that lend themselves to enjoyment more than others.

Here are some of the most fun and enjoyable hobbies:

• hobbies that include others and have a competitive edge (a lot of sports and physical hobbies fall into this list).
• hobbies that include others where you are learning something together (i.e. taking a class together).
• volunteering
• bingo or other group games
• getting together with friends and other social activities (try these things to do at a sleepover for activities to do with friends)
• creating and working through a bucket list (here’s a realistic 30 by 30 list to get you started)

Do you detect a pattern?

From what I can tell, hobbies that are social in nature and include other people are often the most enjoyable.

Whether it’s a bunko group, a book club, a cooking class or a team sport, doing a hobby with one or more people can be fun and inspiring!

Hobbies for a Resume

Quite understandably, people often want to know what hobbies would look best on a resume or cover letter.

The best answer I can give you to this is to be true to yourself!

If you are passionate and curious about a hobby, this will show through in an interview if you are asked about your hobby.

In short, having an interest in varied hobbies (2-4) can help make you look interesting, curious and ambitious.

Hobbies for Introverts

If you are interested in activities for introverts, you may want to consider a new hobby!

What Five Hobbies Do I Need?

A popular school of thought says you need five hobbies to maximize your potential and self-development.

Use this list as a starting point for the five hobbies you need, but feel free to switch up based on your own needs and interests.

-A hobby to help make you money. Hobbies that help you make money can be a great addition to (or be in place of) a day job. These hobbies can include: making and selling crafts on Etsy or at craft fairs, blogging, selling on eBay, or offering a service such as dog walking.

-A hobby to help you socialize. Being social is so important to human beings to help stave off loneliness. Why not have a hobby to help maintain those social bonds? Hobbies that help you socialize can include club sports, taking an art class, or joining a book club!

-A hobby to help you stay creative. There are so many ideas out there for hobbies to help you stay creative! Consider one of the following: painting, drawing, sculpting, drawing, writing or crafting!

-A hobby that helps you build your knowledge. Knowledge-building hobbies help make us well rounded. These hobbies can include going to museums, watching documentaries, or doing crossword puzzles.

-A hobby that helps keep you in shape. Fitness hobbies can do double duty in that they can also be social! Consider hobbies such as yoga, tennis, walking or weight training!

Quotes on Hobbies

I love when clothes make cultural statements and I think personal style is really cool. I also freely recognize that fashion should be a hobby.” Anne Hathaway

-“You don’t get stressed if you think your job as a hobby, not as a duty.” Henry Lau
