When was the last time you did something just for the pure enjoyment of it? One of the gifts of our kids getting older is that we have more time to engage in activities that bring us joy. In this episode of Life After Kids, we dive into the exciting world of hobbies, specifically tailored to individual Enneagram types. From exploring what defines a hobby to detailed suggestions on how women can find personal enjoyment and relaxation, this episode is packed with valuable insights.
Key Takeaways:
• Understanding Hobbies vs. Purpose: Hobbies are activities done purely for enjoyment, while purposes often involve contributing to something larger than oneself.
• Enneagram-Specific Hobbies: Tailoring hobbies to personality types can make them more fulfilling and aligned with your natural inclinations.
• Mental and Emotional Benefits: Engaging in hobbies can significantly reduce stress, enhance mental health, and present meditative qualities.
• Growth Through Hobbies: Some hobbies might push you out of your comfort zone and help you grow, offering both relaxation and personal development.
• Community and Connection: Hobbies can also help you connect with others, whether through community involvement or shared interests.
Don’t discount the importance of hobbies for stress relief, emotional well-being, and even their potential for self-discovery and personal growth. Listen to the full episode of Life after kids for an abundance of hobby ideas, broken down by Enneagram type, catering to different personality traits and preferences. Whether you are a Type One perfectionist who might enjoy organizing, or a Type Seven enthusiast seeking variety and adventure, there's something here to inspire everyone to explore new or rediscover forgotten passions.
