3 Reasons Mom Should Have A Hobby 

Moms are in desperate need of lifestyle choices that will help us be happier. Having a hobby or creative outlet can help you overcome depression. A hobby can assist you in maintaining your separate identity as a real person, not just as Mom. Some hobbies provide excellent exercise with all of the associated benefits.

Moms today are extremely busy, but we are more stressed than ever before and in desperate need of lifestyle choices that will help us be happier. Pursuing a hobby could be the answer.

Here are a few reasons why, even for a busy Mom, having a hobby is a good idea.

Having a hobby helps to relieve stress and tension.

Spending time on a hobby replaces negative thoughts with positive thoughts and feelings. Having a hobby or creative outlet can help you overcome depression.

A hobby, as opposed to passive activities such as watching television, provides intellectual stimulation while also relaxing you. Knitting and other repetitive activities are especially soothing.

Hobbies help you be a better parent.

We are so good at enrolling our children in lessons and classes and encouraging them to have hobbies that we even pay for these classes and drive them there and back! But we forget that we must also learn new things and grow as individuals. Hobbies also allow you to meet new people who share your interests.

A hobby can assist you in maintaining your separate identity as a real person, not just as Mom. This demonstrates healthy habits and boundaries to our children.

Hobbies provide a welcome diversion from your daily routine.

If you're a stay-at-home mom, you may be frustrated because you can't point to anything you've "done" at the end of the day. This is due to the monotony of housework and childcare.

Women in previous generations pursued hobbies such as quilting, sewing, knitting, crochet, and embroidery not only because they were enjoyable, but also because they provided tangible value to the family, either by providing clothing or much needed income.

Some hobbies, such as tennis, gardening, or belly dancing, can even provide excellent exercise with all of the associated benefits. The best exercise activity combines mind and body and is enjoyable to do.

Why not devote some time to your hobby, Mom? Don't let a lack of time deter you. Rearrange your schedule to include YOU again, and begin carving out time for your favorite hobby.
