쉐도잉 연습: LIFE-CHANGING HOBBIES TO GET INTO IN 2025 ✨creative, fun, & productive - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

We've all been here scrolling for hours mindlessly and suddenly you realize, I feel like I'm rotting.

Let's change that.

So if you're ready to make the most of your life and actually enjoy your free time, here are 50 hobbies to make life more fun and exciting and to make you a cooler and more interesting person.

we all hear about how important it is to be in

the present how the only moment we're guaranteed is the current moment

and yet i feel like we still constantly fall into the trap of wasting our time doing things

that don't really matter and don't bring us joy i checked my average screen time this morning

and it was quite humbling let me just say on tiktok alone i spend two

and a half hours a day that's a problem so

if you're in a similar boat don't worry we're in this together

but wouldn't you like to be able to say to someone

when they ask you what your hobbies are ah yeah i

actually have been learning to sew i've been taking pottery classes i'm part of a reading club

and i do jujitsu in my free time rather than i don't really have any i yeah i'm not sure

so this is the year you start actually doing the cool

creative hobbies you say you're gonna do rather than just watching everyone else do them, thinking about doing them but not actually starting, we're getting serious.

I've broken down these 50 hobbies into five categories to make

this digestible for you to really cover all the bases so you don't feel overwhelmed.

We have creative hobbies, wellness and fitness hobbies, mindful slash intellectual hobbies, social hobbies,

and money-making hobbies, which like what could be better?

Let's start off with the creative hobbies, my personal favorite because these are so fun.

By the way, you don't have to be perfect at a hobby to like doing it.

You can just do it because you want to try something new

and the fun part of a hobby is

that there's no pressure Like it can just be for fun first up drawing

and sketching if you have no idea where to start I always find cute little things on pinterest

and I actually have a board of drawing inspo And

if i'm in the mood to draw and I don't know what to draw, I just pick something on there next painting This is one of my favorites, but I don't do it often enough There are

so many different mediums to paint with

and types of paint you can use you can do watercolor There are even sparkly watercolor paints

that I honestly want to get like for this summer You

can do acrylic paints for this I love finding something on pinterest

that inspires me or even just finding like a photo

and kind of painting it next photography There's actually a lot

to learn about photography a lot more than you might think

in terms of the framing of photos The settings of your camera You can do it on your phone

or an actual camera if you want

and you can get into all different types of photography If you really like shooting on film, that's super cool You can watch youtube videos

or do like skillshare courses to learn about it writing I

feel like many of us think of writing as not something

you would do for fun Like something you had to do

when you were in school But I think

if you kind of shift your mindset on writing can be

really fun You could try creating your own short stories

or even writing poetry and another form of writing

that you could do on a less High pressure basis is just journaling videography.

You can film anything you want You can make cinematic videos of nature

or of trips that you go on you can vlog like you're a youtuber Even

if you're not especially

when combined with learning how to edit videos You really can put your own personal creative touch into this

and it's so fulfilling fashion design I think there's

so many fun things you can do with this

But maybe it could be upcycling old clothes

that you have like taking an old pair of jeans

and turning it into a purse Or it could be thrifting

and like thrift flipping your clothes adding little details like ribbons

or rhinestones or sequins to make the clothing super fun

or even designing your own clothes from scratch and making them

which is definitely a lot that's a lot bigger of a deal

but if that's of interest to you I totally think it's worth exploring.

This is going to be a broad one but I'm just going to say DIY crafts.

You can make your own bookmarks.

I've seen like scrapbook picture frames where you scrapbook a cute little page

and put it into a frame and you can use it as a piece of room decor.

Even things like painting your own hairbrushes and just scrapbooking in general.

Pottery or ceramics.

This is one that I want to get more into.

I've really been wanting to take a pottery class

but this could even be like making air dry clay things like making little trays out of air dry clay

and painting them in the comfort of your own home

and knitting or crocheting i'm also even going to say sewing in here pick a route

that you want to go at least to start i know

for me i'm definitely drawn to sewing the most i would

love to be able to literally make my own clothes there

are super cute patterns you can buy online there's tons of videos online to help you learn.

And lastly for the creative hobbies, making jewelry.

This can be so simple and straightforward.

I feel like it's not as complicated as people might think.

Go to the craft store.

You can get some elastic string, tie a knot at the end, find some cute beads you like and string them on, tie it together and bam, you have like a bracelet, an anklet, a necklace.

This could be making charm bracelets.

I have a few hobby videos from last summer on my channel where I do different DIYs like that.

Next, we're going to talk about wellness, movement, and fitness hobbies.

Even though you might think of this as something you have to do

or it doesn't seem fun to work out I actually think

that it truly can be and if you don't feel

that way Maybe you just haven't found the right thing for you yet First up yoga

if you want to get into something

that will simultaneously calm your mind cultivate peace inside of you and Stretch your body and build strength.

This is great for you Yoga is amazing to do in classes

or just at home My favorite yoga videos to watch are from move with nicole

and boho beautiful yoga and pilates a personal favorite of mine.

I love how Pilates truly sculpts and tones your body.

And then there's also dancing.

I think this one would be really fun to take some actual classes, like maybe go take some ballet classes, take some salsa dancing classes, take some hip-hop classes.

Not only is this super fun and I feel like it nourishes your inner child, but it's also a great place to make friends, especially as an adult and hiking.

If you live in a place where there are forests nearby, There are national parks nearby.

There are mountains nearby.

Get out there and go see them.

100

If you have somewhere with cool waterfall hikes, with lagoons to hike to, I mean, the possibilities are endless.

101

Get out there.

102

Go see those parks.

103

Do some hikes and cycling.

104

You could get really good at biking, either road biking or mountain biking, or just casually take bike rides in your free time.

105

I feel like this is something that we stop doing as we get older, but it's truly so fun.

106

And weightlifting or powerlifting.

107

I used to only do pilates, but through the past six months or so I've been doing half weightlifting

108

and half pilates and it has been game-changing I am stronger than i've ever been.

109

I feel amazing.

110

We also have stretching.

111

Maybe you want to get your splits Maybe you want to

112

improve your leg extensions Maybe you want to be able to

113

touch your toes Incorporating a daily stretch practice is such a great way to improve your mobility flexibility

114

and also have some mindfulness time rock climbing This is a really cool one that I want to try.

115

You could go to one of the rock climbing gyms indoors If you feel comfortable if you're like, oh my gosh, this is

116

so much fun I'm amazing at this you could eventually start doing outdoor rock climbing swimming

117

so low impact on the body But a great way to get cardio

118

and to exercise You could go to a rec center near

119

you swim in your own pool in the summer swim in the ocean bonus points If you live somewhere warm, i'm gonna say surfing I didn't add that onto this list

120

because I don't live anywhere near where that would be a thing

121

But I absolutely would surf if I lived somewhere where I could and boxing

122

when I was growing up like in middle school Boxing was

123

a huge thing like kickboxing specifically I think it would be really cool to take some boxing

124

or kickboxing classes now We're on to the mindful

125

and intellectual hobbies These are hobbies

126

that are essentially going to create a better you self-development type

127

things They're things you can do in your free time

128

that will actually make you smarter make you more intelligent Make you a better speaker make you more confident first up.

129

We have journaling.

130

I talk about this all the time So

131

if you watch me you will have heard me say this

132

but there are so many types of journaling You could do gratitude journaling bullet journaling, which that's a whole thing in and of itself

133

That could be a whole hobby on its own creating different cool page layouts.

134

There's so much inspo for that on pinterest It could also be doing journal prompts

135

and deep reflections or brain dumps

136

If you don't know where to start honestly just go to pinterest Look something up

137

and try out a few different types of journaling until you find one that you really love.

138

Reading.

139

I read more last year than I have read in my whole life.

140

I used to think that reading was boring.

141

There was no way I was going to be interested in it, but I realized it's not.

142

It's actually tons of fun, and I have learned so much through reading.

143

Pick books that are appealing to you, that are interesting to you.

144

This could be self-improvement books.

145

There are a plethora of them out there.

146

I know I love reading because as I'm reading them, I'm learning so much about myself, about how to make my life better, but it's also really fun to just indulge in fun fiction stories,

147

listening to podcasts or audiobooks.

148

Podcasts are a great way to learn something

149

or kind of feel like you're doing something productive when you want to consume media.

150

I have a podcast, if you want to check it out, called Glow and Tell that is all about self-development, but there are so many types of podcasts out there, and again, if you're not super into reading at first,

151

trying out audiobooks could be a great way to kind of ease into it.

152

Gardening or starting to get into house plants.

153

If you're one of those people who are like, oh my gosh, I kill every plant I touch, break that mindset out of you.

154

You totally can learn to take good care of plants and it's so rewarding having them in your space.

155

But also maybe this is the time to start a garden outside if you want to.

156

Stargazing or moon watching.

157

Now this might seem kind of weird, but I took an astronomy class in college and it was just so mind-boggling.

158

There were things that I had no idea about.

159

If you just get outside sometimes and look at the stars, maybe even, this is crazy, but like get a telescope.

160

There is so much to see out there.

161

You can make a hobby out of learning the constellations, observing the moon phases, just taking in space. And coloring.

162

This is one of my favorite hobbies because it's so low stakes, so low effort.

163

Buy yourself a cute coloring book.

164

There are so many cute ones on Amazon that I've bought.

165

Bobby Goods has the cutest coloring books as well

166

and a good set of markers or colored pencils those two things

167

and you have hours hours and hours of hobby time

168

and this is going to sound weird but networking this is something

169

that occurred to me because i know

170

when i was in college i would always see these events coming up

171

that the university would put on where there'd just be a

172

speaker i would always be like why would i want to go to

173

that like it's not like i'm getting a grade for

174

that it's not like i'm getting credit

175

and even as i've gotten older i've seen on like linkedin there's just virtual webinars about a certain topic.

176

I mean, they're going on all the time, even just in your local community.

177

There are probably events like that that you might not even know about.

178

I think I've really started to recognize the power of networking, of knowing different people, how you can basically help each other get to where you want to go, and learning a new language.

179

I feel like everyone wants to learn a new language, but not everyone actually tries to.

180

So if there's a language you're like, you know what, that would be really cool to know.

181

Download Duolingo and start going at it.

182

Additionally, taking online courses or like getting certifications in things.

183

So if you've been wanting to get into one of these hobbies I mentioned

184

or if there's a specific certification in your field of study, field of work that would actually give you a leg up, take a course in that.

185

And lastly, learning an instrument.

186

I think people that can play instruments are so cool.

187

I love playing the piano.

188

I also recently picked up my flute again that I used to play in middle school and girl, I've still got it to an extent.

189

It's so cool to be able to play an instrument

190

and the coordination that it takes with your mind and your hands is unmatched.

191

Onto these social hobbies.

192

Social connection is a huge part of who we are as humans.

193

Even us introverts, we need social time as well.

194

First, workout classes.

195

One of my favorites because if you're at a workout class, the people there are also probably into that type of workout that you're doing.

196

Being in the class itself is a great setting for social time, but maybe afterwards, if you meet someone there, you can like go get a smoothie with them after and it can turn into a friendship.

197

Next, join a book club.

198

You can actually look up online like book clubs in your area, but there are also virtual book clubs

199

So there's no excuse can also be like a dual hobby

200

because it gets you reading more and it helps you have

201

that social interaction and Crafting workshops I know craft stores do these type of craft workshops, but other places do them as well

202

and joining a sports team This can totally be just a recreational thing Like

203

if you haven't played soccer since you were a kid

204

and you miss it and you kind of just want to get out there have fun

205

and play soccer like do it and volunteering there are

206

so many options for volunteering locally i personally love neighborhood cleanups

207

and environmental help kind of random

208

but i feel like it's a great feeling to know

209

that you're helping out your community

210

and visiting a farmer's market i feel like there's always such a communal feeling at a farmer's market it's

211

so local and lively

212

and hosting any type of party i feel like the majority

213

of people actually love going to themed dinners themed events

214

but a lot of times we just don't take the time to like make it happen

215

so if you're the one who initiates and actually makes it happen

216

that would be so cool and if you want a social hobby like this

217

but you don't feel comfortable enough to do any of these things yet

218

or you just don't want to a great option for you could be having a pen pal

219

and this could even just be writing to a friend

220

but like actually writing letters and sending them in the mail it's

221

so cute and you could even make like a little care package of tiny cute things

222

and like mail it to each other once a month.

223

And lastly, make recurrent plans with friends.

224

This could be like a weekly hangout where you go for hot girl walks together

225

or like a monthly meetup where you do a mini book club together or you go to dinner together.

226

Something that's like a standing thing so that it actually happens and you have something to look forward to.

227

And lastly, be money-making hobbies.

228

The first great option is making digital products.

229

So this could be like digital planners, digital invitations.

230

It means that you don't have to create the physical product you just design post it on like etsy

231

and once you make the product you're done second is digital art

232

and graphic design this could be a hobby you get into

233

and eventually turn into a way that you make money like doing it freelance

234

and also youtube

235

or content creation now let me just tell you this can make you money for sure

236

but do not do it if that's the only reason you want to do it

237

because it takes time it takes a lot of time

238

and a lot of work but

239

if you're like you know what i want to be a

240

youtuber i've been wanting to do this forever get into it now there's never a better time than right now.

241

And photography can be something that makes you money by either doing portraits for people, doing photo shoots for people, even taking stock photos and uploading them.

242

Like that's a really cool one you might not even think of.

243

If you already love taking photos and you take good photos, uploading them to stock websites can make you passive income.

244

Next, baking.

245

Okay, this can be one that's just a for fun hobby for sure.

246

But if you're like good at baking or you get good at it over time, you could sell your baked goods locally.

247

You could start an online business for them, which would be really cool.

248

And starting a blog or newsletter.

249

So if you want to make some sort of content, but you don't want it to be videos like YouTube, blogs could be a great option.

250

You could make a recipe blog, a fitness blog, a blog that just follows your life.

251

And you could flip furniture or clothes and sell them.

252

So if you have like an old dresser and you do a lot of work, stain it, get it looking all good and like listed on Facebook marketplace.

253

But I will say be ethical with this.

254

Like don't go to a thrift store and buy something for $2

255

and sell it for a hundred and candle making or soap making.

256

If you buy the products for this and you find like a cool way to make your own take on it, this could be a great product to sell.

257

It could be selling handmade jewelry, clothes, anything like that.

258

So if you're really good at making jewelry or you make really cool custom handcrafted things, that's a great way to turn your skills into a moneymaker.

259

And lastly, we have freelance.

260

Freelance goes into so many different things.

261

Thumbnail making, freelance, social media management, freelance marketing.

262

There are sites like Upwork where you can go and people who need freelancers can find you.

263

That was a lot.

264

Hopefully you don't feel overwhelmed.

265

There are honestly so many more hobbies I could give you, but I feel like we've got a great start here.

266

I challenge you to pick at least one of these hobbies and today actually take some steps towards getting that hobby going.

267

Good luck.

268

You've got this.

269

Comment this emoji if you watched all the way up until the end of the video

270

and maybe share this with a friend who needs to get off their phone a little bit more

271

and could benefit from some hobbies.

272

Thank you so much for watching.

273

Don't forget to like this video and subscribe and I will see you in my next video.

274

Bye guys.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
