NOT JUST A PAST-TIME

In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to get caught in the hustle and forget the joys that hobbies bring into our lives. Hobbies are more than just leisure activities; they are considered a form of self-expression, personal growth, fulfillment, and happiness. Engaging in a hobby has numerous benefits like reducing stress, boosting creativity, and self-esteem. However, finding the right hobby and making time for it can be challenging.

Let's explore five effective ways to pursue a hobby and transform your life.

Discover your passion

Finding a hobby starts with discovering your passion. Consider your childhood interests, current skills, and the things that naturally draw you in. Don't rush the process; discovering your passion takes time and experimentation. Think about the activities that make you lose track of time or that you look forward to in your daily routine.

Abhay Negi, a commerce student, says, "As I reflect on my life, I realize that finding my passion was a journey of self-discovery. It's in these moments, when I'm lost in a creative pursuit or immersed in a challenging puzzle, that I feel most alive. These passions have become an integral part of who I am, shaping my identity and bringing joy to my life."
