about why you enjoy them, too. For<br />
instance, two people may enjoy<br />
playing board games with friends, but<br />
for one person the important thing<br />
is spending time with friends, and<br />
for the other person it’s the mental<br />
challenge and strategic thinking that<br />
keeps them coming back week after<br />
week. If these two people were to<br />
pick new hobbies, they would likely<br />
pick two different activities, despite<br />
both enjoying board games. It’s the<br />
why that’s important here.<br />
Next, look for inspiration. Think about<br />
the things you enjoyed as a child.<br />
Spend some time in a bookstore, and<br />
be aware of which sections excite you<br />
<strong>–</strong> are you drawn to the cookbooks?<br />
Or do you spend all your time in the<br />
history section? Think about projects<br />
you may have undertaken in the past,<br />
and see if you could turn this into an<br />
ongoing hobby. Take a look at local<br />
notice boards, and just see what’s on<br />
offer in your area <strong>–</strong> the avenues for<br />
inspiration are endless.<br />
Finally, try a few hobbies out. You<br />
likely won’t be sure whether you<br />
enjoy something until you try it,<br />
and hobby collecting can become<br />
a hobby itself. We’ve put together<br />
a list of different hobbies to help<br />
inspire you <strong>–</strong> why not pick twelve,<br />
and commit to trying a new one every<br />
month for an entire year? Who knows,<br />
maybe something will stick.<br />
