Recently a friend and I were discussing how some people thrive in retirement while others struggle. The key, we agreed, was having one or more things that you enjoy spending time doing. This article by Jonathan Holloway appeared a few days later. Synchronicity.
"What are the keys to health and happiness? For most people, the list would include a healthy diet, regular exercise, a good nightโs sleep, and loved ones with whom to share their lives. Hobbies, unfortunately, rarely make the list of priorities for a healthy lifestyle. Studies have shown that time spent pursuing hobbies and personal passions is actually essential for a well-rounded and satisfying life. A life without hobbies and leisurely pursuits is a very dry, demanding, and unhealthy life. Not convinced? Take a look at the benefits of having a hobby you enjoy.
Why hobbies are important:
- They give you permission to take a break.
- They create healthy social connections.
- They challenge you in a good way.
- They are a great stress reliever.
- They can keep you fit.
- They make you better at your job.
- They ward off depression."
