A quick post on why you should be picking up that hobby you have been putting off.
Having a hobby is a great way to unwind from the stresses of the workplace. Research shows that people with hobbies are less likely to suffer from stress and depression. Activities that get you out can make you feel happier and more relaxed. For me my hobby is wild camping. I enjoy the planning, problem solving, the aloneness, the waiting / hoping that the weather will cooperate. Helps me to think and hit the reset button on the stresses of the workplace.
Pick up that hobby you have been putting off.
