Do you take time out for yourself each week to devote to a hobby?

I think this is really good topic,for i've realize that i should really put at least two or three hours doing that.To make my hobby being loved but not liked.lol,i should really think about that.Really thanks for sharing this,and i think having this is good for our personally development.Good day.

After I give birth, I am looking forward to enroll in yoga or pilates classes in the city, and also driving lessons. Right now, I have to stay at home and rest since im nearly due. The only hobby I can get busy with right now, is myLot and internet surfing. Also, I want to enroll in either culinary or dressmaking.

I do take time out for my hobby, scrapbooking. I have been getting together with a friend of mine every weekend for the past month, and she does her crafting projects and I do my scrapbooking. Her living room is large enough for us to both have our craft tables set up. And we get a lot done, (check out my latest discussion lol). I'm lucky enough to have the time to devote to this, and also started selling scrapbook supplies as well as personal scrapbook layouts and albums for other people.

I think that it is very important to take a little me time for ourselves. It does not matter whether it is a hobby or craft or music or just reading a good book. We all nee do to relieve the stress and tensions of our days. A hobby time out is something we all deserve and should be encouraged by.

Whether you call it a hobby or crafting I have been doing that since I was a small child. I am now 60 years old and am happily still knitting baby afghans for my daughter who is expecting her third. I also found once I left my business behind which was basically a hobby started turned into a business of ceramics wholesale and retail, I realized I was getting disabled and had to replace the paint brush aside and lifting of heavy plaster molds to what I called Painted Needles which is cross stitch. dropping my paintbrush to pick up a needle with floss and cross stitch.I love reading and cooking too so I guess they are kind of hobbies as I am always looking for something new to read or do research on and also recipes that I might want to try. Guess I will craft til my sight or body gives out LOL

Hi, there! It is good that you finally realize that you need to set asid some time for your hobby. Itis is of crucial importance for it may relax yourself from work. What it gives you time to look back at your life and change for the better. And you also mentioned that you spend time to earn a little money, there is nothing wrong with that, but you need to have your free time for your hobby. This is all about time management. Get a good commons of that skill, you will make more money and at the same time enjoy your hobby. Have a good day!

i have a bunch of hobbies that i try to do. i mylot, read, have a bunch of craft projects on the go (right now it is cross stitching and making a wreath and soon i want to start weaving). i never have a dull moment!

Sure I take time out usually daily. I do spend some time every day working on my crochet and now that it's warmer my flower beds. Though I wanted to further my gardening knowledge and take a master gardener course but no $$$ or child care. Same with getting better at sewing... I can't get anywhere it seems because I of the same reasons with my previous answer no money when you are at home with your kids and no one to watch your kids so how can you take a class. I was hoping to accomplish so much more than what I have.

I used to work far too much, and it would mean that I was not able to devote as much time to my hobbies as I would have liked to at all. However, this is all changing, and I now make sure that I take at least Saturday and Sunday completely away from work so that I am able to do the things that I enjoy rather than just the things that I have to do. I like to go out shopping and playing golf, and this is something that I will now choose to do at the weekend when I have the time, as it is important to do things that you enjoy just like it is important to work as well.

I have not been able to devote two hours a week to my favorite hobby which is crafting, but I am hoping to once things settle down. Right now I am making extra money online as well as being a graduate student and taking care of my husband. I make soap, jewelry, paint ornaments, make wreaths, and want to learn how to quilt and do stained glass painting. I also want to learn how to etch on glass. I will have almost two months off from school and am hoping to use most of this time to do some crafting. Randy is in school as well and will be busy with his classes so I am hoping to get some things done while he is studying. I am on here quite a but trying to build my income up.

I don't think I have a hobby, but even if I don't have a hobby, I always make sure that there is a time of the week where I spend time for myself only and do the things that I love to do.

ohh thank you for reminding me that i have some hobbies too.ha ha !! i do not remember when i have last given time to my hobbies and since i am working and have become busy with my job i have even forgotten what i like to do and what i really craved to do. Now in my leisure time i really feel i had a body massage and some sort of pampering done to myself. I hardly feel like taking the initiative and indulge in some of my hobbies.I hardly get 1 day in a week to do all my pending work of the week including my households too.Life has changes and earning money have made me realized that you have to forget about your hobbies and other habits.This is tough but this is true.
