I know this is weird to list as a hobby but genuinely: cleaning my house. I have two young kids and the physical chaos is actually hard to process mentally. I get so overwhelmed and overstimulated when things are a mess. Cleaning is like a hobby and makes me feel so much better!!
(Note: I don’t necessarily mean going crazy deep cleaning. I mean like straightening things for an hour or two each night and throughout the day on weekends. Even doing this, there are still piles of stuff in my house that don’t get totally cleared.)
Boxing and kickboxing with a personal trainer/ex-pro. The flexible and irregular schedule keeps me from flaking out, the adrenaline helps me reach sharpness, and frankly it's a really healthy way to release anger/frustration. And seeing other regulars at the gym just reminds me that work isn't the only group of people I have access to.
Anything that gets me outside and away from screens makes a world of difference for me. I do a lot of walking and camping, but my favorite by far is cycling. I try to go for a ride a few times a week, and I go for multi-day trips when the weather is nice.
I workout, have a podcast. I use meditation to help me out but find something like writing or form an alter ego and go do some content on YouTube or TikTok as an escape
I play intramural softball with a group of buddies during the spring. I swim a lot, and ski in the winters. Other than physical hobbies/sports, I have been thinking about enrolling in a ceramics class this year, and I recently learned how to make sourdough so I spend a lot of time baking and perfecting my loaves haha
Traveling. Art galleries, museums, live theater. Hanging out with friends
