Hobby Time Wiki

**Welcome to the Hobby Time Wiki!**
Hobbies in General    Engaging in hobbies is a pursuit that allows individuals to unwind and find respite from their daily occupations (Merriam-Webster, n.d.). The integration of hobbies into one's life is essential for enhancing both physical and mental well-being. Kettering Global (2019), delves deeper into this significance, explaining that “different types of hobbies offer different types of benefits”. Some hobbies involve active participation in physical endeavors, such as hiking and climbing. These activities not only elevate heart rates but also stimulate brain function, leading to transformative physical improvements and overall health enhancement (Kettering Global, 2019).
Conversely, other crafting type hobbies, like upcycling or woodworking, ignite creativity and nurture the art of thinking innovatively. These creative pursuits serve as training grounds for sharpening the mind's inventive capacities in various facets of life. Additionally, hobbies foster social interaction, fostering the development of interpersonal skills, while simultaneously offering avenues for personal growth (Kettering Global, 2019).
