Leisure - this time is not busy, which you can safely devote to yourself, but often we do not know what to spend it on. Despite this, we need free time so that leisure can exist at all in our life.
Americans conducted a series of studies in which respondents had to answer the question about satisfaction with their leisure, measured on a scale of "perfectly - awful". Most of the interviewed people enjoyed their leisure time, the same number was, as 100% satisfied with their leisure, and expressed their mixed attitude. About 9% of respondents were not satisfied with their leisure time. And only one percent rated their leisure as horrible. This indicates that people tend to spend leisure or free time with pleasure for themselves, doing what allows them to relax both soul and body.
But, nevertheless, there are several groups of people for whom lack of leisure is a real problem. Women often have very little free time, as they are engaged in basic work and at home with farming and raising children. If we take into account the representatives of the working class, then they have more work, and there is not enough time to spend leisure time, as, indeed, money.
Unemployed people have much more time for leisure, but spend it more often watching TV, and other types of rest are simply neglected. And then it is more often than not the lack of money, since many types of leisure do not require high costs, but in ordinary laziness.
Pensioners have at their disposal a lot of free time. Many of them indulge in new hobbies for them, find hobbies, receive additional education (which they did not manage to get in their youth), attend church. Often retired people neglect active sports, training, and in vain - after all, active recreation for this category of people is very beneficial for a full sense of happiness and health.
Leisure has a very fruitful effect on our well-being and mood. There is a large amount of research on this topic. Positive emotions, received from pleasant and useful leisure, greatly affect the feeling of happiness for any person.
The biggest positive effect is marked by a social form of leisure and a healthy lifestyle (in particular - sports). Physical activity and sport, uniquely positively affect health and longevity, in favor of which scientists have made more than one scientifically confirmed statement. Physical exercise social support reduces the impact of stress. When doing sports (in any form, whether it is a 10-minute walk in the early morning or any other physical exercise).
Leisure can have completely different forms, they can also become shopping, hobbies, tourism, sex, outdoor recreation, sporting enthusiasm as a fan or commitment to a religion. Listening to your favorite music in your spare time can also be called leisure. The main thing in successful leisure, this is his positive impact on the person, which pleases - it is useful. On sports, you can write a couple more lines - many know that when doing sports the human body produces endorphins - hormones of happiness, which in turn causes euphoria, a kind of natural drug that gives us a sense of happiness, reduces depression and reduces stress. The connection between sport and mental health has also been repeatedly explored by scientists from different countries, and all these studies point to one thing - that all people involved in a sport have excellent mental health.
Nevertheless, each person has repeatedly faced with the question - how can you please yourself in your spare time, how to diversify it and conduct it with benefit?
We ask - how to spend leisure time culturally?
Leisure can be done completely differently, only one thing is clear - it is simply obliged to bring pleasure. Someone can gladly devote his day off to a visit to a massage, a spa, a shopping trip (this is more typical of the fairer sex). Men can be more like a game with friends in paintball, a trip on fishing or a trip to football.
In order to determine the conduct of interesting and useful leisure, there are a number of information sites, virtual posters - they will help us decide on the choice of cultural leisure. Thanks to the fact that almost every house of our time has a computer and the Internet, it is not necessary to run to the streets in search of a fresh poster, just visit the "World Wide Web" and determine your desires and possibilities.
Virtual posters are very convenient for people of different interests: film lovers, music lovers, theatergoers, etc. There are quite a few such Web pages on the Internet. Here are some pages that are called virtual posters, it's Weekend, Poster of St. Petersburg (or any other city that you need), Poster. NET, "Theater Poster", the Museums of Russia and much in this way. You can simply type "a city like that, movie theaters (theaters, museums) and the like, and the search engine will give you a lot of sites where you can get acquainted with the information you are interested in, learn the schedule and prices, benefits and discounts.
Proceeding from all written above, it is possible to tell with confidence one thing - leisure should be one of the most important components in a life of each person. And no matter how you spend your free time in the park or at a stadium, in a church or reading a book, visiting a massage room or crocheting a blouse for a dwarf spitz, the main thing is that you get real pleasure and feel rested and happy. Also, each of us has the right to choose one to spend his leisure time or in the company of close people or like-minded people.
