Maybe you already have something you love
doing and just need more time for it.Or maybe you
haven't found a hobby you really enjoy yet,and
you'd like to try something new.A hobby is some-
thing fun you do in your free time,but not all hob-
bies are good for your health and happiness.
When choosing how to spend your time,think
about how you feel afterward.Some people say loo-
king at social media or watching shows is their hob-
by,but often they feel tired or empty after that.
These activities may seem fun at first,but they can
make you feel worse later.Dr Hafeez calls this
“popcorn brain”一jumping from app to app,al-
ways looking for something new.This habit can be
bad for your brain(大脑)in the long run and make
it hard to stop.
Dr Kaiser says another problem with screen-
based hobbies is that they usually keep you sitting
for a long time,which can cause health problems
over time
So how do you pick a better hobby?Dr Vuu
suggests thinking about seven parts of a healthy
life:sleep,food,movement,feelings,thoughts,
relationships,and purpose(目的).A good hobby
can help with some of these.For example,doing
group activities like yoga or running can help you
move more,feel happy and make new friends.
Helping others,like teaching or gardening,can
make you feel useful and improve your mood.
There's no right number of hobbies to have.
Some people focus on one,others enjoy many.The
key is to try new things from time to time.New ex-
periences are good for your brain,and they help
you connect with others too.
