What Do You Love to Do?

Find Your Passion

2. Look into opportunities for locally pursuing your chosen activities. Who knew there was a tango club in your neighborhood or improv classes just across from your work? If you don’t find exactly what you’re looking for, keep an eye out for similar activities and consider expanding on your list. Even if there isn’t an open spot on the softball league, maybe kickball would be a fun option. 3. Try some of them out! The first activity you try may not be “the one.” Be patient with yourself and the process. So what if making pasta by hand isn’t your thing? At least you tried! Now you can take your funny story of rubbery noodles and try something else.

When we meet someone for the first time, the question we usually ask is, “What do you do?”

What if we asked this instead, “What do you like to do?”

As adults, pursuing something we love outside of work can be one of the most rewarding parts of life. Often, revisiting the activities we once loved in childhood sparks newfound love in adulthood.

Here are some guidelines for reigniting your love for an activity that once brought you joy — or for finding a new one!

As you go through this process, let yourself be open to trying new things and, most importantly, have some fun!

1. Write down 3–5 activities or hobbies you enjoyed as a child or one thing you always dreamed about doing. Maybe it’s not so much a matter of doing something new as it is returning to what you once loved. Remember how much fun Hula-Hooping was? What about theater? Somewhere along the way, you gave up those hobbies, but it’s never too late to return to them. If nothing comes to mind, write down something you’ve always dreamed about doing. Try not to judge your answers, and be open to where your interests take you. There are no wrong answers here.
