LEISURE TIME

What I do to ocupate it?

Why it is beneficial to spend your free time
well?
• People participate in leisure activities when they have free time in the evenings and
on weekends. They are never work oriented and do not involve tasks such as
housework or sleeping. Examples of leisure activities are bicycling, bowling, curling,
horseback riding, golfing, hiking/walking, skating, skiing and swimming. However, not
all leisure activities are sportive. Some people would rather spend their free time
painting, drawing, reading, listening to music or meditating.
• People who take up leisure activities are usually happier and healthier than people
who don’t for a variety of reasons. First, leisure activities help people reduce their
levels of stress. They can forget about their workload and family responsibilities and
just enjoy the moment. Second, participating in certain leisure activities provide
people an opportunity to meet others who share the same interests and sometimes
even make friends. Also, leisure activities such as painting, sculpting, singing, etc.
provide an artistic outlet, which is always a positive thing.
How do I spend my ‘Leisure Time’?
• My leisure time is spent in conjunction with my mood. Sometimes I
want to do something active, so I will go to the gym, take a walk, or
play in my computer. Other times I want to just be, so I might
meditate or sit outside and soak up some nature. Then there are
times where I want to engage my mind so I will read, write, or
network. Finally, and most importantly, are the social times where I
adore spending time with family and friends.
How can you
spend your free
time?
Remember we all have the same 86400 sec
per day out of which doing the repetative
and mundane activities like sleeping, eating
etc takes some share of the pie and
professional commitment takes a huge chunk
leaving one with a small share of the pie for
his/her leisure. Below is what I try to do and
would advise people to do in their leisure
time.
