3. Learn how to play an instrument

Who else enjoys listening to music all day? If you’re one of those people who has always had music as their favorite hobby, then it’s not too late to start learning to play an instrument. There are multiple online courses that you can take that are way more affordable compared to the ones with a personal teacher. Either you learn it at home, or if you have other friends that share your interests, maybe you can convince them to try this thing with you.

Some of the most common instruments that seniors choose to learn how to play include the piano, guitar, ukulele, and harmonica. These are easy to learn, require fewer skills than others, and you won’t end up paying a lot for them.

The list of hobbies isn’t over yet! Check out the rest of them by clicking on the next page.

    I do so many different crafts that I now have 2 craft rooms. I found that Diamond painting and paint by number are both relaxing and take away a lot of stress. I also upcycle glass to make bird baths and feeders. I buy small bird houses and wooden boxes that I paint and decorate. Plus I’m into deco podging clear vases that I find at thrift stores. When the weather gets nice I start working on my flower garden . So yes, I keep busy….

    For me it is Beading and making jewelry. It is very calming and relaxing. I have not seen that mentioned anywhere.

    Why did you not include reading as a retirement activity? Many people have little time to read during their working years and raising a family. Reading requires no equipment and can be done anywhere. Most older people prefer books rather than digital reading and there are public libraries with thousands of books, both classic and contemporary, available. Also new and used books often go on sale.

    I have so many hobbies in crafting and gardening that I am now a vendor trying to sell some of my wares. Diamond painting, painting birdhouses, nutcrackers, and making Christmas ornaments are just a few that keep me busy..

    Along with Yoga: tai chi. Some community colleges offer it as it’s best done as a group (class).

    I’m trying to relearn playing guitar. I used to be good enough to enjoy listening to what I played, but I have to warm up the fingers and brain.

    Mostly I crochet and sometimes knit. Good way to learn new things and keep my hands busy. Love to crochet hats to donate to different charities.
