Method 1: Based on current interests
1, think about what you are interested in. Think back to what you usually do when you are free. Do you like reading? Maybe you want to write one yourself. Do you like to have a cold beer at the end of the day? Maybe you can make wine at home as your hobby. Turn what you already like into a hobby.
2. Think about what you value most? What qualities do you like? Do you value wisdom or courage? Do you prefer people who repay kindness? Do you appreciate artistic expression? Please refer to these characteristics when choosing interests. For example, maybe you volunteer in the library because you value education as a hobby. Or because I admire those who can express themselves artistically, so I like painting.
3. Examine your skills and personality. Some hobbies need specific skills as the foundation. If you lack patience, then you may not like hand sewing. However, if you like tinkering, maybe you should consider old car modification, furniture assembly and other hobbies. Take advantage of your advantages.
4. Pay attention to things that can inspire your enthusiasm. The way you talk about problems can also reveal your passion, which can develop into a hobby. Think about what you can talk about. Ask your friends and family what you think you talk about the most. Now, think about why this topic appeals to you so much, and then decide how to turn it into a hobby. For example, maybe you are passionate about local politics, so participating in grassroots work may become your hobby.
Method 2: Recall childhood.
1. Think back to what I liked when I was a child. Do you like cycling races with your friends? Are you addicted to comic books? Do you like drawing or sketching? Think about things that made you forget to eat and sleep when you were a child.
2, regain the enthusiasm of the past. If you ride a bike, try to buy a brand-new adult car and ride it to explore the surrounding area.
3. Attend training classes and learn what you like. If you like painting, you can go to a training institution or an art gallery for training courses.
4. Find an adult version of childhood hobbies. In other words, if you like comics, you can join comics to find like-minded people. If you liked board games as a child, you can learn about the dazzling new products on the market, from role-playing to cooperative games.
Method 3: Explore new fields and seek creativity.
1, visit the handicraft shop. Go to the handicraft shop and see what hobbies you can find. You may make some new discoveries, such as making airplane models or learning pottery.
2. Go to the hardware store. Like handicraft shops, hardware stores are also good places to discover various hobbies. If you want to engage in carpentry or gardening, then a hardware store is suitable.
3. Go to the local library. There are many books in the library, through which you can learn the basic knowledge of various topics. Read through and find the topic you are interested in. These topics will become your new hobbies.
Step 4 arrange the time. Time is limited, I'm not with you. Set aside a short time every day to try your new hobby.
5. Check out websites related to hobbies. Some websites focus on specific hobbies, and you can use them to know where you should spend your time.
6. Willing to try all kinds of hobbies. The first hobby you try is not necessarily the best one. Don't be afraid, keep trying other hobbies. You have the right to decide when to lose interest in something.
7. say "yes" In other words, even if you are not sensitive to your usual activities, don't refuse easily. Maybe going to the art gallery is not very interesting for you, but you can try it when your friends invite you. You may find hobbies that you have never considered before, such as painting or art restoration.
8. Redefine yourself. I think the idea of "I'm not that kind of person" will stop you from trying new things. Maybe you feel that you lack courage or are not gregarious enough to take part in some activities. Don't be afraid to break through yourself. For example, consider all hobbies that you refuse because you think you can't do it. Maybe you've always wanted to learn to play the guitar or dance ballroom dancing, but you think you have no talent. Anyway, sign up for a class first. Maybe you have a gift in this field that you don't even know about?
9. Be with friends. People are divided into groups, and friends always have similar hobbies and personalities with you, so you may also have the same hobbies. Ask friends to show their greatest hobbies, and then try what they like to do. For example, maybe your best friend likes to dance swing very much. Before studying deeply, you can accompany them to a class, or ask them to give you a basic explanation.
10, check the course catalogue of nearby training institutions. Training institutions offer a variety of courses, some of which are not expensive. Browse the catalogue, maybe you can find courses that can stimulate your interest. You can ask the recruiters of training institutions for the catalogue, but most training institutions have online catalogues for you to consult.
Method 4: Check your budget.
1, pay attention to where your money is spent. Spend a month recording all your expenses. You can use the smartphone app to keep accounts. If you seldom use cash, you can also refer to your own bank account details. Classify your own expenses. For example, you can divide expenses into groceries, gasoline, clothing, eating out, entertainment, rent, bills and service charges. You can also divide the bill into two categories: one is essential expenses such as insurance, and the other is expenses you want to cut, such as cable TV fees and mobile phone fees.
2. Make a budget. In a spreadsheet or application, determine the percentage of necessary items (such as rent and bills) in the expenditure. Besides, check last month's expenses to see how much you spent on gasoline and groceries. Determine how much discretionary spending you have left.
3. Decide the budget you are willing to allocate to your hobby. If you want to cultivate a new hobby, you must save money in other areas. For example, you can reduce the expenditure on other entertainment items or reduce the number of times you eat out. Maybe you can spend less money at the grocery store. How much to allocate depends on your choice of hobbies. Some hobbies cost more, while others cost less.
If the budget is limited, you can choose a free or less expensive hobby. There are many cheap hobbies for you to choose from. For example, you can read, write, run, or try gardening and camping.
Tip: Before engaging in hobbies, find a place to carry out activities and store equipment and appliances indoors or outdoors. Even outdoor hobbies that need equipment need storage space. Hockey sticks, football, sports shoes, bicycles and tents need to be stored in one place when not in use.
Buying second-hand goods is more environmentally friendly and saves money. You can buy some second-hand goods in second-hand shops or online second-hand markets.
After working hard for hobbies for a period of time, your skills will improve. This hobby may be self-sufficient. For example, you can sell artworks or handicrafts, coach other athletes, write articles, or teach others. Income can reduce the cost of hobbies.
Take part in three activities for each hobby to see what you like. The first experience may not be representative!
