Look at what interests you.

Check what you love doing in your spare time. Do you enjoy reading books? Maybe you want to try your hand at writing your own. Do you like a hot coffee at the end of the day? Maybe your hobby could be trying to make it at home. Turn what you already love into a hobby.

Think about what you value most

Do you value wisdom or courage? Do you admire artists? Let such question guide you when choosing a hobby.

For example, maybe you could volunteer at a library as a hobby because you value education or maybe you could try painting because you admire people who can express themselves with art.

Examine your skills and personality.

Certain hobbies require certain skill

If you don't have much patience, then maybe going fishing isn't something you'd enjoy. However. if you love building things, maybe you should consider a hobby like working on older cars or building furniture.

Play to your strengths.

Pay attention to what excites your 30 .

The way you talk about things can also show what you really like and it can be developed into a hobby.

Think about the topics you go on endlessly about. Ask your friends and family what you seem to talk about all the time. Now think about the subject that you enjoy so much and decide how it can be turned into your hobby.

Many people buy pasta， but it's easy to make． You only need flour， salt and eggs． It takes some time to mix the pasta dough together． Then you can choose which type of pasta shape to make． A pasta machine is very useful for this， but you can also cut the pasta by hand．
