How To Support The Hobbies Of The People You Love

September 13, 2021 by Jeremy Lindy

Hobbies are hobbies for a reason. They're not hobbies because they are easy, but hobbies are hobbies because you love them. If you have someone in your life who has a hobby that consumes their time and attention, it can be hard to find the right way to support them. But supporting each other is what relationships are all about! Here are some tips on how to support your loved ones by helping with their hobbies:

Offer To Help With Planning And Preparation

If your partner is into music, you could offer to help with planning the playlist for their next gig. If they're an avid knitter or crocheter, maybe volunteer as a model while they work on new projects. Your support with the planning aspect of hobbies can help your partner to feel loved and supported, even if they don't ask for assistance.

Even if you aren't willing to jump in and help with planning or more general aspects of hobbies, offer to lend a hand on some of the finer details. If your partner loves running marathons but hates packing their bag the night before races - let them know that they can count on you for all their pre-race prep needs! Maybe even volunteer as a chauffeur so they won't have to worry about driving themselves home after the race either!

Attend Events Together

Not all hobbies are exclusively done on your own time - some hobbies or events can be enjoyed with other people. If you've got a friend who is mad about "Game of Thrones" but doesn't have anyone to watch the show with, why not offer to start watching it together? Or if your friend is a fan of card games like YuGiOh, The Gathering, or Pokemon maybe should buy him/her custom card sleeves like the ones at customcardsleeves.com - they are an amazing gift! You might even enjoy it also! If you're both already into the same hobby then attending an event together could also help support that shared interest. 

Maybe there's a local book club for horror novels and they always read something scary over Halloween... Why don't you sign up too so your partner will feel supported through their new tradition? Lending moral support by being present during hobbies can go a long way towards helping someone feel loved and cared for.

Give Them A Break From The Chores

For some hobbies, there's a lot of extra stuff that goes along with them - things like yard work for gardening hobbies or cleaning up after messy hobbies like scrapbooking. If you see your partner struggling to find time in their day to relax and do something they love because the housework is piling up around them, offer to take on some of those chores yourself! 

You can make it feel even more special by only helping out when you're not busy (or doing other tasks for them) during weekends or holidays. This could be especially helpful if your loved one has family members who don't support their hobby choices as well as you do!

It can seem difficult at first but giving support to hobbies makes all the difference between loving someone and simply putting up with them. If you're looking for hobbies to support, try browsing through some of the hobbies on HobbyLark! There's bound to be something that sparks your interest.

Help Them Make Time For Their Hobby 

Some hobbies are just too time-consuming to fit into regular life, especially if you have a full work schedule at the same time. If your partner is struggling to find enough free hours in their day for some of their hobbies because they've got so much on, offer support by taking some of those tasks or responsibilities off their plate! 

This can range from doing chores around the house while they're busy with hobbies (like mentioned above) to help them make space during weekends and weeknights... 

Or even helping out as an assistant with larger hobbies like building furniture together! Even something as simple as offering moral support or cheering someone on during hobby events could be helpful - supporting each other means being willing to that extra mile no matter what it takes!

You might be surprised how much support hobbies can get from just one person!

The best way to support the hobbies of those you love is by offering help with planning and preparation, attending events together, giving them a break from chores, and helping them make time for their hobby. If this sounds like something that would benefit your relationship as well as theirs - then take some action! Seek out opportunities to get involved in their favorite pastime or find new ones altogether. You'll not only be supporting what they love but also strengthening your connection- it's a win-win.
