Leisure is something we all look forward to! it’s
something that’s required not only for relaxation but for recreation of a being
! It’s often seen that we waste these few candy like holidays in vain, because
there’s SOOOOOO much that we want to and the
time is sooooooo little. The problem is what to do? like on Sundays and Saturdays
when we’ve a jam packed week ahead! it often seen at end of these 2-3 holidays we end up having no
leisure at all or feeling frustrated that we wasted the holidays and were
better off at work only!
Well we often take the holidays for granted and the idea for
spending the free time is mostly vague. The best thing is either to choose what
you’ve always chosen or to **be well planned**. Take a paper and jot down the areas of your
interest a night before. Then prioritize! what’s that one thing that really
needs your time and attention? it may be a long lost hobby, your family,
friend, your house or even your self for that matter. Prioritize what needs to
be done first! This is half work done! Your precious time can be invested in
following activities:-
*1.write a review on
ms- **There’s nothing more recreational than this(as par my experience). Writing
review will not only help you pass your time, but it’ll improve your other
skills as well, like analytical skills, writing skills, responsive skills etc.
*2.Go, Hang Out and
enjoy!** – there’re so many places like clubs( if you have a membership), malls,
movies, some tourist spot, zoo etc… if you’ve got a holiday for more than 2days
and have bucks is your pocket [:0-) ] outstation
is the best thing that can be done! it’s a complete change! Hang out is suggested
to be done with family and /or friends. Roaming alone is quite boring. Larger the
number people in your hang out group, the more you’ll enjoy.
*3.Net’ting- **There’re
so many things that can be done on net, example checking your mail account(if
your aren’t regular), taking iq tests, something that you always wanted to
search, ms’ing, playing on line games etc. net is something that’ll drink
your entire day and you wont even realize where has your day gone? so don’t surrender
your self in front of net for the entire day!
*4.cooking- **it
takes hardly an hour or a two to cook something for yourself and family, but it
gives immense satisfaction. Try cooking something different that you don’t normally
eat!
*5.Hobby Booster – **we
all have some or the other hobbies, some times it’s well defined and some
times it’s not! Devote some time to long lost hobby or a newly acquired hobby
! it’s quite refreshing and a recreation in itself. Like reading, painting,
stamp collection, writing dairy, making co-large of family and friend picture! trust me it’s
quite a fun!
*6. It’s time for
family- **your family defiantly needs your attention. Indulge yourself in
family discussions, family matters. Ask for suggestions in personal as well as
professional life. This’ll improve or enhance your family relations.
*7. It’s time for
yourself-** oh! we often forget our selves in the race of life! your mind needs peace
and body needs rest and grooming! pay a visit to a parlor or salon, gym or go out for a simple walk. That’s not
only sometimes a necessity for man and woman both, but at times helps you gain
lot of confidence! Go and beautify yourself!
*8. Enter the shoes of
Mr. healer- **there’re so many other things that needs attention, like your
plants and garden, leaking tabs, refilling in pens etc, etc. so many things get
distorted due to normal course of wear and tear.
*9. clichés – **sleeping,
watching tv, playing games, listening music, shopping etc…… is something that’s quite over done
by people, yet it’s quite relaxing! if you’ve
nothing better to do! why not these activities!
I suggest not invest your entire day in a single activity,
a sweet blend of 4-5 activities works best!
Happy leisure!
