Hobby

Hobbies are activities that people do in their spare time, not because they have to, but because they want to, so they can have pleasure with them.

These kinds of activities exist since humans exist and are created for people like us, so we can have different activities to do in our free time that can keep us busy with happiness.

Another advantage of hobbies is that these activities can help people to avoid depression, which is very common nowadays. This hobbies make people feel more energetic and creative and are also a way to relaxa from everyday`s stress. We can say that hobbies are good for health and are positive ways to keep someone in good psychological and physical conditions.

There are three levels or types of hobbies: the first one is what people do as an entertainment and pass the time. The second one is what we do as a passion, it means when we are very engaged with something we love doing. And the third one is something that has a purpose. And people say that the best hobby is the one that contains the three levels mentioned before.

Hobbies can be very important in our life, especially when they connect us with others. There are many people that meet together and become friends because of the similarities of the types of hobbies they like doing.

Someone’s hobby can show his or her personality or psychological characteristics and let others know what he or her is interested in. So we can say that hobbies can become part of our lives.

Finding an activity to do in somebody`s free time it is not usually a problem, because there is a great amount of activities to do for different kinds of persons, like something related with art (as painting and drawing) or sports (as volleyball or snowboard). But people need to know that finding an appropriate hobby is not something that you start practicsing one day and feel good the next. It takes time to realize the benefits that it can give us. If you work at it regularly, you become more interested and if you meet others who do the same thing, you'll develop a passion for it.

Everyone can practice a hobby so if you want to find one, you just have to start searching for the one that suits you better.

Snowboard is just one of the large variety of hobbies that someone can do.
