Many people have hobbies. Actually most of them have at least one, and they find pleasure and relaxation in doing it.

I also have several hobbies, and I’d say they are beneficial to my mental health, because since practicing them, I’m more calm, more relaxed, and I look at life with much better eyes than before.

I’ve written about a few hobbies of mine, like rock collecting, or stamp collecting, as well as about another hobby which requires some artistic skills, namely clay pot crafts.

Now it’s time for a dialog, so I’d like to hear from, you, my readers, about your hobbies and why have you chosen those hobbies and not others? Are you a big fan of haiku poetry, or do you love classic literature? Are you happy with collecting kind of hobbies, or are you rather the hands on type, and like to manufacture various items? Do you think hobbies are good for your mental health?
