The Psychology Of Hobbies

The Psychology Of Hobbies

  • While most people are aware hobbies tend to make us happier, they are also scientifically proven to make us healthier. Hobbies seem to help us live a calmer life, which reflects on the body.
  • For people with high-pressure jobs, hobbies help with disconnecting them from their business related tasks and from entire thought patterns around building a business.
  • Hobbies are also a way to shape our identity.

Self-Complexity

This concept refers to our perceived knowledge of ourselves, based on the number of distinct aspects we believe we possess.

Goals, relationships, and activities are all part of a network forming our sense of self.

The lower your self-complexity, the more fragile you are. But if your self-complexity is higher—you have a couple of hobbies, personal goals outside of work, and relationships outside of your family members—your sense of self is stronger.

The Trend Of Turning Hobbies Into Side Hustles

Hobbies take work and turn it into leisure, and take leisure and turn it into work. Hobbies occupy the borderland that is beyond play but not yet employment.

Hobbies Vs Hustles

Pushing too hard to turn a hobby into a hustle can actually make you lose your passion.

The main difference between a hobby and a hustle is whether you have to do it even when you don’t want to. Client waiting for a deliverable, customers who subscribed to receive a specific service, paid commitment to write a piece? That’s a hustle. Nobody cares whether I do the thing or not? That’s a hobby.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

samz905

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Ghazala Begum

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.
