In the lives of busy people, there are lots of free periods, we need to know what to do with them. Certainly every leisure time needs to be sanctified just as we do with employment, and possibly more. Many young people live a planned life, with a routine in which the hours are subject to a program that has slipped into us without warning but that determines each step we take.
Managing our free time, and resting in it from work or routine, is a serious thing, since, although it may not seem so, our health is at stake.
Work or routine life is just as important as free time. We must find a balance between both, since that will depend on our well-being.
It is clear that during free time it is necessary to rest. Rest of homework, which is the main job of young people. This does not mean that you are not going to do anything.
There are many hobbies in which you can entertain yourself. Learning to play a musical instrument, playing sports, can be a beautiful recreational activity.
There are also small handicrafts that young people can do, and that can provide them with some income.
It is convenient to seek the company of young people, and share with them healthily, spare time. In this fellowship, consolation and edification will be found when necessary.
It usually happens that the routine for a young worker is numbed by not knowing what to do in his free time if he should sleep or what to do. So to invest well the time and live free from all the bad.
What should we do with the rest time? What God wants is our will, not our time. He is more jealous of our desires than of our free time.
We can also do in our free time work for charity. In this case, you'd better want to be good to all the people throughout the day, instead of spending your free time watching movies or lying in bed reading a novel or listening to the radio.
Free time is necessary for the inner life; It is necessary for life that is active, as well as for the contemplative life. You can not go around every day without resting. To pray, help, work, and even to suffer, you must give yourself a break from time to time.
A soul that never rests in life, is like someone who deprives himself, or is deprived of pleasure.
