How do I enjoy my hobby again?

I've gotten bored with hobbies before. It's fine. Get a different hobby instead.

Don't forget that the reason you are engaged in any hobby is because it's supposed to be a fun and relaxing activity. If all you're doing is constantly forcing yourself to become better than you are and it's making you anxious and stressed out, that means it's not a good hobby anymore.

On the other hand you need to realize that any hobby is going to take effort and it won't be fun every single time. Getting better at something takes a lot of effort, and if you feel you can get gratification out of getting better then that's a great thing. It just depends on whether you can get a good return on your investment.

One hobby I have involves deliberately putting myself through activities in a distinctly spartan setting, but most of the gratification I get out of that is the extremely close bond developed between members of the group and the way we redirect that stress through humor and relaxation. Essentially it's a hobby that makes you question what the fuck you are doing while you're doing it, but everyone feels the same way and that's the shared experience.

Another hobby of mine is a fairly complex game which involves pretty major elements of chance (but it's not gambling) and is nothing but endless and pointless suffering during those times you're having bad luck, but it feels great when you're lucky and winning all the time.

In short, if you hate your hobby, stop doing it, but if your hobby inherently involves dragging yourself through some shit and getting good stuff out of that, then you need to consider whether it's worth it.

Always a fucking eye.

The same thing happened to me. I thought maybe I just needed a different medium. So I've been trying different forms of art, like paint markers, making felt "dolls", sculpey, and wood carving. I love the wood carving currently.
