Hobbies & Creativity:

Each one has some or the other Hobby, as from childhood they have rooted in our life. It could be Gardening, reading, writing, listening music, Painting, stamp collection, embroidery etc. the list could be unending.

When we carefully look at the examples, I have deliberately listed odds and even leading to a type. Gardening, writing, painting, embroidery is of a class which nurture creativity & may derive additional pleasure apart from spending good time. I would like to classify them as active hobbies, while even types are Passive hobbies. Like working in garden means having nice clean, beautiful surrounding around our house with pleasure of getting flowers and fruits apart from fragrance. Thus time devoted on this hobby leads to additional benefits and person is engaged to engineer the creativity. Once again writing a poem is much higher than reading a poem. It is also obvious that one has to read a lot of poems to fuel the thoughts, understand subject selection, style or rhythm and appropriate usage of words. Similar pleasures could be visualized who can sing a song or play guitar or sitar. Thus the active hobbies are of higher order than passive hobbies.

Nurturing one or two active hobbies in life would enhance creativity. Such efforts are usually outside the professional area, and purely aimed for joy & not profit of any kind.? It does not matter which active hobby, and the choice is with every individual. This activity usually we do for sheer joy or what we enjoy to do it and definitely not part of Business activity. Then all destructive energy will get transformed and would lead to higher creativity. It is the pleasure of creating something that we rejoice and enjoy. Thus we can add creativity to our ordinary life. Every intelligent man would be starving to create something, that’s the basic human instinct. Someone who is not able to devote time for active hobbies would remain disturbed and feel something missed in life.

When all energy is devoted towards creativity, there would be no energy left for destructive activities. It is also observed that with creativity, the anger element diminishes proportionately. ??

Everyone has energy within them, which needs to be creatively utilized. Emotions may be controlled, when energy is directed towards physical activities like exercises. Creativity implies ??channeling energy towards positivity, and engaging in activities for sheer joy & not towards any profit.
