What type of hobbies and stress relievers do you utilize? I have several I can maybe suggest and tell you about that I currently have or had in the past. Find a list of popular pastimes and see what ones I have and how out of the ordinary they are.
The first stress reliver that I have done for the last 6 years or so is cardstacking. I take decks of playing cards and make towers and model buildings out of them. I have even drew some designs and then built them from the drawing. How many people really have this pastime? I am |
so involved in it, I finally got a significant amount of playing cards, 600 decks to be exact. I can now build REALLY BIG THINGS.
Read more about and see pictures of my carstacking pastime.
Another pastime I like to participate in is drawing. I love to make scetches of stuff I see. I have saved all the artwork I completed in high school and still have it in my closet. This would be part of the hoarding habit I have.

A third pastime I used to have is studying astronomy and astrophotography. I had an expensive telescope and an expensive camera and was able to use it to take pictures through the telescope. Eventually I sold my telescope, because I thought I needed to pay some extra bills, and lived in the city anyway. It's too bright here to do much astrophotography.
And yet ANOTHER pastime of course I enjoy is yardwork. So maybe it's not a hobby, but its good exercise and the neighbors appreciate you more. The worst part about yardwork is sweating so much. Usually I am ringing wet when I'm done working in the yard.
I almost forgot my model rollercoaster. This is a pastime that I just started in back in December. There is a website that sells model rollercoasters that you can put together and even design your own. I have one rollercoaster but plan to get one or two more and build a custom rollercoaster, or a possible model of a real world coaster.
