Leisure or free time … How often people complain that they do not have enough of it, and when it finally appears, they do not know what to do with it. As a result, the weekend or even vacation passes, and the person regrets that the time was wasted.
Free time, like working time, is still better to plan. Then there will be no feeling of wasted hours and even days. Of course, the temptation is great to lie on the couch, leafing through magazines, watching a TV series, or sitting at the computer, playing games or moving from site to site, from one community to another. And as a result - again dissatisfaction with the imperceptibly passing hours, and even a headache to boot. Meanwhile, in addition to the TV and the computer, these "time killers", there are many useful, exciting and enjoyable activities.
Hobby
It is difficult to find a person who, in addition to his main job, would not be fond of some kind of business "for the soul." This can be handicrafts, gardening and horticulture (not for the sake of providing themselves with food, but for the sake of pleasure), artistic and literary creativity, playing musical instruments, and much more.
And let the results of these lessons be appreciated only by the closest people, the time spent on a hobby is not at all "wasted". Being engaged in creativity, seeing the results of his work, a person feels his significance, rejoices that he is able to create, albeit modest, but his own, personal masterpiece.
In addition, hobby activity calms the nervous system, allows you to expand your social circle, learn new skills and apply them in practice.
Sports and fitness
A great way to spend your leisure time is to devote some time to your body. And it doesn't have to be grueling workouts in the gym. You can find a sports hobby for your soul, within your means and within your strength. And visiting the pool, and jogging in the fresh air, and doing body-oriented practices, and even dancing - all these types of physical activity will give the body health, and the nervous system - relaxation.
Walks in the open air
Communication with nature, with the outside world - how much modern man lacks this! And it is not at all necessary to go to places where the foot of a person with a backpack on his shoulders has not gone - although why not? A half-hour walk in a park or a quiet green street will also be very rewarding. Take your time, walk, look at the sky and tree branches, watch sparrows bathing in a puddle, feel the breeze on your skin …
The main thing here is not to try to combine a walk with a shopping trip or commuting to work. It is important not to rush here, to get maximum pleasure from the process itself, without being distracted by everyday life.
Communication with loved ones
Unfortunately, simple face-to-face meetings in the modern world are increasingly turning into a virtual plane: calling relatives and friends, chatting with them on Skype or on a social network - it seems that this is the maximum that a modern person can afford. But virtual communication cannot be compared with live communication, when you see the eyes of the interlocutor, feel his energy and give him your warmth. Even if such meetings do not take place every day or even once a week, they should be!
A special feeling arises from games, activities, just talking with children. Let them live with their parents in the same apartment, but not always the older and younger generations have a reason and time to do something together, and it is completely in vain. Dedicating at least a couple of hours to a son or daughter, an adult learns to better understand his child, becomes for him not just a person who is responsible for him and provides him with the necessary, but also an older comrade, something more experienced, but something capable and learn from the child.
