I personally love archery, it helps me improve my balance and focus, and of course it's fun to shoot arrows at something, even if it's an empty target.

Surf! Get in the sea as much as you can. That, and getting obsessively into coffee (@alara_akcasiz, what's your brew of choice?)

Mostly doing home calisthenics with a doorframe hanging pullup bar and gymnastics rings. Surprised with how little you need for a good workout.

If you have a small child as I do (3 years). I recommend you puzzles - he's loving them, we can do it together, and it is fun time without TV/YT. First, puzzles can be a fun and enjoyable way to pass the time. They can be a great source of relaxation and stress relief, as they provide a sense of accomplishment when completed. Additionally, puzzles can help improve problem-solving and critical thinking skills, as they require you to think carefully and pay attention to detail in order to solve them. Puzzles can also be a great way to socialize and connect with others, as they can be done with friends or family members. Finally, puzzles can be a great way to exercise your brain and keep it sharp, as they can help improve your memory and cognitive function.

Writing/typing my heart out is my new hobby. Thats what you call journaling. And after a stressful day before going to bed even if you just type out the achievements or even failures, helps you relax well.😅

I am making toy electronics and rovers! I recently discovered Jhonny 5 (a JavaScript Robotics and IoT programming framework). It's fun to experiment with and makes it easier for web devs.

For us who spend most of their days sat in front of a computer, I recommend they partake in activities that don't involve screens. It could be playing sports, cooking meals, assembling LEGOs/Gundams, or learning how to make cocktails (it's really fun!), etc.
Actually, while looking through my postcard collection, I discovered Postcrossing and PostFun. So Random postcard connections. It’s growth has be exciting to watch on IG. Great for introverts too.

Washing dishes. Might be little bit old-schooled, but sound of water will free your thoughts and give you much-needed calmness.

cooking - trying to get from home hobo to restaurant (fraction of the price) quality food. Failing a lot but also great patience excercise

My new hobby that I recommend to other people is learning a new language. It can be a great way to connect with people, enjoy different cultures, and broaden your horizons!

Learning to play the guitar - it is such a great way to enter flow state and incredibly satisfying everytime you're able to learn to play something you've been practicing for a while!
Samy Melaine
It's not a new one but I stopped for few years : hanging out on Reddit. If you're in the right subreddits, you can learn a lot and really challenge your ideas.

Reading books! You can learn things, be surprised at new ideas, always have something to do, and have things to talk about.

Sculpting! It's incredibly fun, relaxing, meditating, and there's really something about bringing a character (or anything else) to life with your own hands!

It's an old one that I'm trying to get back to, wine tasting. Also after years of yoga and pilates, I'm now mixing it up with some HIIT training which I'm surprisingly loving. Also a return of hiking after enjoying it over the holidays.

I love painting. When my mood gets off or bored I create something new! That made me happy.
Nauman Tariq
@moon10 I love painting as well, in fact I want to be an artist at a young age :) Do you mind sharing what you paint with us?
Moon
@naumanthanvi I'm glad to hear that you love painting! Being an artist can be a rewarding and fulfilling career. Basically Im not professional, its my hobby. I paint nature, 3D art , calligraphy and so on.
Brenna Donoghue
@moon10 Agree. I find that I don't have a lot of time to paint these days, and the idea of starting a new painting was becoming daunting, so I have switched to using inks. It's amazing how much fun and relaxing it is, as well as using a completely different part of my brain.

Learn to brew your own coffee, It's meditating really
Nikita
@alara_akcasiz I have been doing it for atleast a year now and it definitely is meditating. I look forward to it and I am such a coffee enthusiast now, I read about coffee a lot of times :)
Harun
@alara_akcasiz I can absolutely relate. Every morning I get exited for my coffee. Its a ritual and i really enjoy it!

When I'm stressed, I will find an activity that makes me sweat and release my mind => so I choose dancing. :D
