“If variety is the spice of life, then recreation is the sugar,” Kimberly Grandal
once said. Well, in my view, this is most probably because of the sweet fruit that one
gets for doing recreational activities or for having it as part of everyday lifestyle. By
the way, those “sweet fruits” that I’m talking about will be further tackled later on.
You know, “recreation” is such a beautiful word. It is defined in some books and
dictionary as the process of giving life to something, of refreshing something, of
restoring something, or is anything that is stimulating and rejuvenating for an
individual. This ‘something’ of course refers to the whole person. Frankly speaking,
recreational activities only bring forth positive effect to an individual whether be it
physical, social, mental, emotional, or spiritual. Yes, overall health it is. And are you
aware that improving overall health means improving overall lives as well? Just…
recreation could mean everything to a person.
Recreation is all about improving the quality of your life. And taking part in
such activities will most likely make you feel satisfied about your life which
consequently causes significant implications in your physical, social, and mental
health. Improving your lifestyle means improving your health. Improving your health
means improving yourself as a person. And improving yourself will improve the quality
of life that you have.
Now let me end/leave you with this beautiful quote that I’ve just read
recently:
“Recreation’s purpose is not to kill time, but to make life; not to keep a person
occupied, but to keep them refreshed; not to offer an escape from life, but to
provide a discovery of life.” –Author Unknown
