I oil paint to relax. What hobbies do you have?  

I have a rather unusual hobby that I enjoy very much. I am a live action role player, a little like the dungeons and dragons type computer games but we dress in costume and act as our characters. There is something very satisfying about spending weekends with a load of other *mad* people, acting as a fictional character and interacting with others.

I used to cross stitched. Before, it took me several hours in a day. I finished 4 portraits but I don't have time to do it now. What I can only do now in my spare time is watching tv.

I like to play and watch football (ok, Americans call it soccer).

I like reading on topics such as marketing, astronomy, military history, politics...

I love travelling and watching movies....

Listening to classical music and meditation are also ways I relax

I like reading and cooking. I love to travel.

My relaxation hobby is kind of lame...I watch TV.It's my escape sort of.A movie or a show will do for me.Especially happy and upbeat ones.

I've had so many hobbies over the years I couldn't list them all. I've done so many crafts but then you get tired of doing them and move onto the next idea.
Right now I do a lot of crocheting and that gives me a sense of accomplishment when I see a pretty little dress or sweater set done.
It's relaxing, too, just to sit in front of the T.V. and working on a project.
And then I'm trying to learn to do the reborn dolls, but somehow I'm not finding that so relaxing.

i love writing.short stories and drama- it make me more calm and happy
and i also like reading:)

I like to read a good book.I usually read Ted Dekker books,Frank Peretti books and Love Inspired books because they dont have the steamy love scenes in them like Harlequin does and a couple of other books.I feel reading relaxes me.I like to draw and paint as well but I have no time for it right now becasue my kids seem to want me for everything when I start something I want to do.LOL.But I would like to start doing it again.It seems you get enthralled in the stuff you paint and draw.I always like art class becuase I got to paint and draw and I would sing as I painted or drew and It relaxed me.I also like to play a game site that I recently got addicted to.And it gives gift cards after so many points that you accumualte for that particular gift card.

Yes, this is what hobbies are for , relax, peace etc. I love gardening, painting, sketching, writing etc.
