How to find an interesting hobby for yourself? This article suggests two strategies for hobby search, each of which not only has the right to life, but also will bring you a lot of useful knowledge and experience. Applying them, you can better know yourself, improve your erudition and become a very interesting person afterwards, with whom it is pleasant to communicate and generally to deal with. And this in turn will bring you a lot of good in your personal life, career and other spheres of life.
- Every new week (month) start to master a new hobby. Choose preferably by accident - for example, poking at random into the newspaper with your finger. It is very important to take even for such activities, of which you basically could not think that someday you will be like doing it. By this you expand your boundaries and can discover unexpected talents.
The meaning of this method is that you are engaged in something new for a week (month), not giving up old hobbies. In this case, all the week, honestly try to get carried away with this business. The minimum criterion for the assignment is that you can maintain a conversation on this topic. After asking yourself a question - do you want to continue to do this? If the answer is "yes" continue. If "no" - start a new one.
Thus, during the year you can try a lot of hobbies and find something really worthwhile. In any case, the time spent on "not justified hopes" is not just wasted time. Such a stormy activity will greatly enhance your erudition and general interest. Moreover, you can easily support the conversation in any campaign, where you will talk about this hobby. It will be much easier for you to get acquainted, and to find a common language with different people, because you will have a huge number of topics for conversation.
- Mentally imagine your life in the form of a house.
Its foundation is your parents, relatives, old friends and all the past that is already with you, all your knowledge, hobbies and talents.
The walls of the house are your family (husband, wife, colleagues, friends), this is the present and all your main goals. For someone, the walls will not be a family, but a career, a business or something else. Even if you do not have a family or business yet, imagine it anyway.
The roof of the house is your future (children, a pension, an established business or a bank account). That is, what will protect and brighten up your future.
Next, imagine the internal filling of the house and the exterior decoration.
The inner content of the house is your spiritual world and the intellectual baggage that you acquired during your life. The book library is all the books you read, the shelf with the disks is all the movies you saw and so on.
The exterior decoration of the house is all your skills, skills and hobbies. This is something that you can show or tell people. All your interests, achievements, rewards and abilities, that is all that you can be proud of.
After that, mentally assess what is missing in the house of your dreams.
Or suppose your dream is a strong, happy family, a husband (wife) and a bunch of children, and now you have only parents. In this case it turns out - you have a foundation and, perhaps, internal and external content, located in a house without walls and a roof on the bare floor. In this case, your forces should be directed to the occupation and skills that will bring you closer to the goal, the home of your dreams. This will be your "hobby", the hobby that will hook you.
After all, you will agree, it is ridiculous to engage in what is not only not related to your goals, but also distracts from their achievement. It happens that way, you feel that the time for achieving the goal is going away and we need to mobilize all the forces to achieve it. And instead of achieving the main goal, you are satisfied with its surrogate, exchanging it for trifles. Substitute the whole life for a bunch of small hobbies. Therefore, in order not to detach from reality, the hobby should always be evaluated through the prism of its attitude towards the goal. Hobbies should not at least interfere with your life and in no case should you substitute true values such as family and so on.
Awareness of the goal is already a big step towards its implementation. Hobbies are not always what they hang on the walls of the house. Your hobby can be cement or bricks, from which you will build your family, that is, the walls of the house. For example, you can get carried away by the psychology of family relationships, and to begin to improve the skills of dating and communicating with the opposite sex. Believe me, on this path there are thousands of nuances that you need to know and consider. Studying this area, you will do everything possible on the path of consciously building relationships, instead of simply sailing along the course of life.
Most people believe that they know everything about relationships and family life. They think so - when I meet my soul mate, everything will turn out all right in the best possible way. Meanwhile, long-term relationships that form the basis of family life require constant work on themselves and improving their skills.
When you find a profession or a hobby with which you think to relate a large part of your life, you usually carefully approach to mastering all the professional skills and knowledge. Family life, and just a long relationship, require the same close attention. And if you want to create a solid family, then it is necessary to treat this as a serious and complex profession. Believe me, from your professionalism in this matter, there will be a lot to depend on. Do not let such things go by themselves.
These two hobby search strategies can be applied together. The second strategy allows us to narrow the scope of the search, make it more specific and directed. The first strategy will allow you to find a hobby through a given area in a quick, random way, with a superficial acquaintance of each hobby.
