Let me explain the question: I have several hobbies like playing the guitar, sometimes singing, walking and enjoying nature, reading and lately sunbathing while hearing an audio book.
Playing an instrument, singing and reading end up being tiring, even if I enjoy the music and the reading. I feel I have to stop after being concentrated for an hour.
Quieter hobbies, like walking to enjoy nature end up being boring as well. The only completely passive hobby I have is sunbathing and it all depends on how interesting the audio book is.
Sometimes I’d like to practice a hobby, but I’m so tired I end up lazying around, watching a stupid youtube video but thinking I should do something else.
What else could I do? Any other completely passive hobbies?
No drugs, no alcohol.
Usually I accept that I’m going to completely veg out sometimes and I’ll watch something. Youtube, streaming, scrolling around social media. Maybe listen straight through a music album that was made for full listen-throughs.
Consumptive hobbies leave you with more to see than you ever could in one lifetime, so there’s always something.
Not every hobby or every moment needs to be productive. Sometimes you need down time, moments to let your mind rest like you let your body rest.
