LEISURE ACTIVITIES AND HOBBIES
A popular saying opines that “living without fun is existing, not living.” I align with this saying. Again, one of my friends, during emotional trauma therapy, was asked to pay and attend comedy events. This is to ensure that she laughs hard to release endorphins into her system. That was also expected to help her relax. Since that moment, I have made sure to visit sites that will make me laugh.
I love watching sports, hanging out with colleagues during team bonding or important events. This is because it helps me in reducing stress and refueling for better productivity. I have learnt about my subordinates during hangouts, likewise, them about me.

It was during our last retreat cum hangout that my subordinates realised I can play Table Tennis. This is a part of me that is known to my family and childhood friends. I couldn’t hold the urge that day; immediately, I saw the board. However, I allowed the males to exercise their right over it until I pleaded that I should be given a chance to try my hand at it. The rest is history.
Leisure time is also a time to try new things; some of my colleagues started learning how to play Chess games recently, and they are doing fine. Leisure time helps us to look away from work, its stress, and enjoy ourselves.
Outside sports, I like watching the Discovery and Zee World channels. While the Discovery Channel has enlightened me on forensic investigations, Zee World has made me understand that life is a jungle. It is also a kind of survival of the fittest game. Immediately, one stops learning new tactics and strategies to survive and remain valuable; the person starts dying. Just like what I have watched on Zee World. The animals either devise means of survival or they wave bye to their existence.
On the other hand, leisure time should be a balance to work; it should not take up more space in our lives or business. The moment it becomes an overdose, it may cause us to lose our job stability. Remember, too much of everything is bad. Therefore, there should be time for leisure and time to get busy.
In conclusion, my leisure time is the moments I relax, switch off work mode, and activate a bonding mood, building relationships, as well as learning in a lighter mood.
