Every individual or group of people have different hobbies, lifestyle and activities they showcase to the world and people around them, but before moving forward to the contest hints I like to give a definition of hobby.
Hobby or hobbies as stated in the contest theme can be defined as a usual or regular activity that an individual partakes or carry on for leisure or enjoyment which includes running, swimming, playing video games, shopping, reading e.t.c,

What are your three favorite hobbies and why are they your favorite Hobbies?
My three favorite hobbies includes......
Sports and Exercise,
Staying close to people and rearing of animals.

Sports and Exercise.
Sports and exercise has always been my hobbies right from my childhood till now, I love partaking in anything related to that despite the fact that I got injured sometimes doing it, I still find fun and joy in doing it because it gives me physical fitness, it improves my energy level, it reduces anxiety, doing sports and exercise helps strengthen bones, it increase confidence and social relation, sports and exercise helps in healthy growing as well as weight management.

Staying close to people and friends.
My second favorite hobby is making friends and staying close to people most especially the ones I love and the ones that loves me e.g family, friends and my colleagues at work, which I always find fun doing so, and as well as getting more love and care from them like family, it also reduces anxiety and troubled mind, it boost happiness and reduces depression symptoms, it is very essential to our mental health, friends and family helps brings supports during challenges and bad times.

Rearing and staying close to animals
Last but not the least of my hobbies is rearing of pets and animals which I love and cherish so much, from the photos above you see me with different animals like Pigs, Goats and Dogs, Despite the fact that this some of this animals are meant for consumption and commercial purpose but I still consider them as pet because of the time and moment I spent with them, the reason I love this animals are.....I grew rearing them, they gives company at times I see no one around, they helps serves as security purposes like the dog, they provides comfort and affection and many more benefits of animals that I did not mention here.

Are this hobbies healthy learnt from someone like peer groups, friends or partners or were you born with them?
Like I said earlier I love sports and exercise right from my childhood so can't tell if learnt it from someone or i was born with it.
But as for staying close to people I got used to it because of the way I socialize with friends and my family. And for the animals aspect was because my dad owns and rear animals before I was born so I grew up withost of them.
