Great people said that the true essence of a man is manifested when he has nothing to do. So what is the essence of most of us?
Spending time in a cafe, bar, restaurant is the most common way of rest, so to say gastronomic relaxation. People try to create a cozy atmosphere with the help of exotic food and alcohol. This method has already become a good tradition, and this, in its essence, is not bad.
But what can be the variety of our leisure?
Scientists have established that the "taste of life" can be defined in an effort to understand the new, activating consumer interests.
Free time can be and it is necessary not only for the benefit of the stomach, but above all for physical and mental development.
There are several ways to spend your free time, for example, education. It can be spent studying a language, having received new knowledge is a very pleasant pastime, in which you get real pleasure from the feeling that you have spent your spare time with advantage.
You can make for yourself a favorite cultural program, visiting exhibitions, museums, cinemas, concerts. This kind of leisure will bring you great pleasure and enrich with new knowledge.
You can find an interesting hobby for your soul, it can be anything: dancing, writing poems, music, everything that brings you real pleasure.
Rest on the nature, alone with your emotions, very calms and brings thoughts into order. Such a relaxation fills with energy for a long time ahead.
Communicate with our smaller brothers, this is also one of the types of leisure, because our beloved animals can relieve stress.
Naturally, you can spend time traveling alone, money will be spent much less, and the pleasure of traveling will not be less.
There is one thing but in independent rest, here the main thing is not to get bored, since there is a danger of being homesick and addicted, for fun, to alcohol. Although such an unpleasant outcome can be in the company of good friends - comrades, it is important to have a head on your shoulders and control yourself.
Many people can no longer imagine their vacation without spirits. On holidays we often decorate a feast with a variety of alcohol, and we see in this the only correct way to relax. In fact, alcohol does not relax, but exhausts, leaving behind a feeling of fatigue and complete frustration.
Now, in the notion of a "culture" of relaxation, alcohol takes a firm position. Most of us do not represent a meeting with friends or going to a football (concert) without alcoholic beverages.
Despite the rather extensive information base about the harm of alcohol, drinking, as a way of relaxing, continues to be practiced. In this case, the systematic use of alcohol poisons the body, and does not give any physical or emotional outlet. Over time, frequent use of alcohol leads to a disease such as alcoholism. The body gets used to this kind of relaxation and the person ceases to be interested in any joys, other joys, even such as sex, become uninteresting to him. The treatment of alcoholism is very difficult, as a persistent mental dependence on alcohol is formed. Plus, after such a dubious vacation, it's very hard to get together with thoughts and forces to start working weekdays. You just have to force yourself to go to work.
On the contrary, free time is given to a person to restore strength for spiritual and physical improvement. Psychologists give this concept their definition - leisure, this is the time a person needs for friendly communication, education, performance of social functions, intellectual development, free play of intellectual and physical forces.
Of course, only you can decide how to spend leisure time profitably, alone or in the company of good people. Much depends on what kind of work you have, whether it is connected with constant communication or it is monotonous and boring. It is on how you spend your working hours, among people or sitting in one place and communicating only with papers and a computer, depends on the desire to spend your holiday (leave) alone or with someone.
For example, you are a young and purposeful person, and you know perfectly well what you want from life, your day is distributed according to minutes, free time minimum. But the desire to develop and learn something new is still there? After all, you can even develop yourself during the rest. You can invite your friends to play football, paintball or another active game, even if you are new to it, time will not be wasted and the sea of vivid impressions is assured to you. Active rest is the perfect choice for any age.
Perhaps football is not for you, then you can join the musical art. Music is the most sensual of all arts, if you once dreamed of learning to play guitar, piano or double bass, then why not? Dreams come true, it's just a little effort. You can get several individual lessons from a friend who can play the guitar, or even via the Internet. Fortunately, there are special sites that teach you to sort chords. Learning to play the guitar, you can easily become the soul of any company on any picnic. It's so cool to sit by the fire and sing a sincere song.
We again returned to the fact that in the company to spend leisure more interesting. But let's not forget that every person should devote himself to individual rest in order to gain strength. If you prefer solitude to noisy companies, do something creative, for example, drawing. Drawing is an opportunity to depict what you see. It does not matter where we depict it, in kind, head or life. And it is not necessary to be as talented as Picasso, the main thing is to open the heart to a new one, to throw out emotions
The main thing is not to feel fear of new beginnings, and you need to rest with your soul! Have a rest with benefit and pleasure!
