Having a hobby is good for anyone’s mental and physical health. It is something that keeps people stimulated and helps them escape from the demands of life in a positive and healthy way. Hobbies help create balance which is what people need to stay healthy so they don’t get lost only in a world of responsibility which can lead to burnout.
If you are looking for a hobby but you are unsure of what may be of interest, then if your Enneagram type could help you find the right one.
