Hobbies can add a sense of fulfilment and joy to your life. The benefits of having hobbies

You can meet new people
This will again depend on your chosen activity, but many hobbies can be a great way to meet new people and open up your social life. Whether you’re comfortable in social situations or prefer to keep to yourself, pursuing a hobby that requires social skills is a great way to challenge yourself. Putting yourself in these often uncomfortable situations can help you gain confidence, make friends and maybe even a love interest if you're looking!
It looks great to potential employers
"What do you like to do in your spare time?" You may have experienced this question in an interview before, and had no answer. You may think what you do in your spare time is your business and yours alone, but what interests you is also of interest to potential employers.
Adding your hobbies and interests to your CV or job application is a great way to stand out, and the employer is likely to look at this section to learn more about you. Your chosen interests and hobbies can say a lot about you and the type of person you are.
Having a variety of interests is a great way to increase your employability. You don’t need to be a budding entrepreneur, even an interest in painting or running shows you have patience, willpower and self-discipline.

It can change your life
While the main purpose of having a hobby is for recreation and pleasure, having one can lead to incredible opportunities. Many award-winning novelists start by writing as a hobby, musicians start by picking up a guitar and playing for fun.
Whether it happens by chance, or you’re considering taking your hobby and turning it into a business venture, what was your way of unwinding after a long day can end up changing your life completely.
