Start a Hobby

A hobby is a regular activity done for pleasure e.g. collecting themed items and objects.
31. Get started on your hobby
Once you have decided which hobby best suits you in every way and you have bought or borrowed the equipment, clothing, tools and anything else you need, it is time to get it happening. Expect to start slowly at first, while learning, so have patience. You might even find a club to join and meet others with similar interests. This is a great way to make friends and to exchange ideas.
32. Display your hobby or compete
Once you become very good at your chosen hobby, you might like to enter competitions to test your skills or to display your work. Think of sports competitions, fairs or shows for craft and artwork, club meetings for show and tell or perhaps even a school or college event is a good chance to show off your skills.
33. Go to the book store
Look in the magazine section and see if there is anything you find interesting. If there is, for example you like Newsweek, maybe a job in politics.
34. Warnings
Your hobby should not be at the expense of your study or your work.Donot get too hooked on the hobby or you might go broke or lose relationships with the ones you love. Remember spending time with loved ones can make very special memories for you and for them.Always get the best instructions on how to make things or do them. If it is sport, be very careful to warm up properly and do not attempt to do anything difficult unless you have had proper training. If it is making something, read the instructions carefully and be patient. If you are handling anything dangerous, either seek assistance from someone else like a parent, colleague or professional or follow the instructions exactly.Regardless of what your hobby is, study safety rules related to it and obey them strictly.When you get good at your hobby, seriously weigh the choice of going professional.Never steal supplies for your hobby for one; it is illegal and you do not want to make a negative image around your hobby.Do not start a hobby that would be expensive to start and maintain if you have to use money budgeted for family expenses or a college fund for you or your children.It may stop being fun or relaxing when you need to meet deadlines and keep consistent professional quality. If you do go professional, look for a new hobby thats unrelated to take its place as something you relieve stress with and have no expectations of anything but enjoyment with.Don't make it so complicated or dull. This will discourage you and decrease the chance of doing it over and over so try to fill it with life. For example, you can dance on music instead of dancing freely without a rhythm.Do it with a group of people. This will make it more fun and you would enjoy it as a group more as you will not feel lonely and depressed.If you would prefer to do it alone you can but do not make it so boring.
35. Learn a Martial art
I love this idea from Walt. It is a great form of exercise and anything that can help you stay safe at night is a good thing.
36. Meditation
Not doing anything at all for long periods while deeply contemplating life or nothing at all is probably the ultimate frugal pastime!Over to you
37. Investigate religion
Whether its so you know more about a religion you do not follow, or to know more about the one you do. And if you are not interested at all the more knowledge you have the better.
38. Minimalism
Get rid of your possessions that own you and get happy
39. Explore asceticism
You probably dont need to go to this extreme even if you
40. Build a bunker to protect you from the apocalypse
This and other DIY tasks around the home can be really rewarding and add value to your house.
