Can you recommend a new hobby to me?

I love trying new hobbies. My hobby is probably trying new ones and finding ones that stick. Like drawing, writing, and yoga have stuck with me for a long time.

Any suggestions?

Try writing a novel. Pay for a good editor. Get it published on CreateSpace. Make a Youtube trailer for it.

It's a really fun adventure.

@silvereyes - yes, twice. I then became a reviewer of POD publications (print on demand) which basically means "vanity press"; i.e. your shit gets rejected by every publishing house in existence, so you self-publish. But there's lots of good stuff out there missed by the big publishers; their loss. I've yet to figure out how such trash gets attention, but quality writing doesn't. Maybe it's who you know, dunno.

@silvereyes:

Nothing much.

#2 was may favourite. Could be a movie script, I was told by numerous people in the industry. Need a good agent...

Sewing, learn an instrument, take up dancing, photography, pottery, gardening, learn a new language, cycling... hmmm wine tasting? hehe

@silvereyes Some would say sewing can be quite therapeutic, and a cheap way of making original clothing.. others would say its completely frustrating. My mother made me learn sewing as a kid, she also made me play tennis. I have not done either of those again since.

Hiking?

Yep.

You sound creative - try music, learn an instrument ... it's been quite therapeutic over the years for me.

Guitar (mainly jazz). I'm also a wannabe drummer 🙂

Scuba diving! Seriously, most fun thing ever.

haha, I may have gone once or twice

Based on the likes you listed, try Macrame, Crochet or Knitting. I do macrame on occasion and it's something that keeps your fingers busy. It's not too expensive to buy into and can be used to make some interesting things for yourself, friends and family.

I am just glad it's not "someone" on those needles! 🙂

Jewelry production: beading, wire work, metal or leather stamping, weaving, chain mail.

Only beading so far, and have read up on wire caging. I hope to do more once my nest empties and I possibly retire from industry, freeing up some time.

Skydiving

OK yeah, that's not a match for you then. It really is the most awesome feeling you can imagine. I haven't done so in many (too many) years. I'd love to get back into it, but I have too many hobbies (dog training, home building, car).

I do a lot of reading be it fiction or non

What do you read?

Why not get your pilots license. I don't fly anymore but when I did it was gyrocopters and 1 hour a month in a cesna. I would invite a friend to come take a drive with me when I would go get my hour in. It was fun because I kept my flying a secret.

@silvereyes. That's the reason i had to quit. I can't understand the instructions from the tower. Im loosing my hearing. I don't want think I understood and kill someone

Video games lol 😛

@silvereyes hellz yea 😛

Me and the kids get into nerf wars up in Enid. Fun way to get exercise and it's a good stress reducer. Plus you get to shoot people that irritate you without them getting too upset like in paintball or airsoft.

@silvereyes It gets me out of the house and I get to spend time with the kids and unglue them from the TV.

Cross stitching

One of my creation

A hobby usually comes from some sort of interest, for example, photography, which, may develop into a passion. What interests you?

Well I just started keeping a journal...write thoughts that come to me...sometimes about mt day, people I meet..enjoying it... and I am using paper and pen no blog...

Blues guitar

Fused glass classes can be expensive, but it is more forgiving than stained glass. Wood turning, trust me this can be addictive and meditative. Hell just watching it can be addictive. LOL Yes, I watch YouTube videos on wood turning. You’re in OK, perfect place too storm chase. Restoring furniture, repurposing items.
I’d also recommend trying out some sports you can do on life long basis. You might try Tai Chi, but dancing, walking, weightlifting (most people have too get nuts to get really buff) could also supplement the yoga you are already doing.

What hobbies do you have now? I've been teaching myself to be a pewterer.

2

Macrame, Orogimi, Tough one Philosophy, crossbow target practice, cellphone repair, locksmithing, invent something that takes lots of time and if it is successful you get return on your effort.

Maybe a musical instrument. It does wonders for the mind and is a whole new means of expression

I sew, crochet, knit, counted cross stitch and needlepoint, I make soaps, lotions, lip balms. I garden. I read. I have many many hobbies and activities. What are you looking for? Most of mine keep you indoors and not really active. I finished a quilt top this weekend, it will go in to the quilt shop next weekend to be quilted. So it is time to start a new quilt top. It can be an expensive hobby to start up.

I always liked pool as a relaxing activity. I haven't played in years, and I was never very good, but had fun. A full table takes up a lot of space, unfortunately, so if you have a little room I'd recommend a bumper pool table instead, which is much more manageable but still a lot of fun. If I had any extra space, that's what I'd get.

It's not for everybody, but I love nature, so hiking and kayaking are some things I love doing.

Have you tried taxidermy? I hear it's a great way to make new friends and hang onto the old ones long after they're gone.

3D pens are fun to play with. I've made a tree so far and have seen videos of people making all sorts of things with it, including an automatic rubber band gun.
