My leisure time is quite very important to me because I take it as my rest time since I usually don't have enough time for that. The human body has its way of coping with things after doing it repeatedly but it is unwise to think that because your body is coping, you shouldn't give it the proper rest it deserves because once it breaks down, a person will need more than rest to get back on track.
Sometimes I usually wish that we could have more than 24 hours in a day so that I can have a few hours extra to do other things outside my daily routine but that's impossible and I just need to do the needful with my free time.
Before my final exams at the university a few months ago, my leisure time had a different routine. I only have weekends to rest because schooling can be very stressful and on weekends, I hang out with my friends but now, I have introduced a few things which I don't do before.
They might be temporary because life turns in direction but I am enjoying myself doing these things now. My National Youth Services Call is around the corner and things might change after and after again.
At the moment, I am free except for the event planning course I am taking. It was necessary to support my financial life and aside from that, I don't really have much to do.

Throughout my education, watching movies wasn't really my thing because I can be very addicted to things. I enjoy Kdrama and they used to have lots of episodes which I might get too focused on which is not good for me as a student. After graduation, I have seen a few movies lately and find the activity very relaxing.
Because movies can be addictive for me, I have a time frame for that to prevent myself from sitting all day in front of screen.
As a baker, another thing I do with my leisure time is baking. You must be thinking leisure should be just for relaxing and yes, it should be but I don't find baking stressful anymore. My family loves cake and when everyone is at home relaxing, I add baking to the things I do for leisure.
We all sit together to do the mixing, chat or see a movie while it's in the oven and we eat together when it's ready so baking is definitely on the list of things I do in my leisure time.
I have goals in life and having a good presence in the social world is one of the things I need to be consistent with. I am a baker, who is currently undergoing an event planning course even though I studied English Language in the university.
I intend to become one of the biggest event-planning brands in a few years to come and aside from learning from the gurus in the field, I have to start preparing myself by having a good online influence.
During my leisure time, I make videos for TikTok, post events kinds of stuff, my cakes and engage with my followers because when I am done with my training, I will need them to help me spread the word about my brand and who knows, I might have a lot of customers from there as well.
Music and hanging out with friends are things I also do and the purpose of everything is to make me relax. I don't find any of the activities stressful and they are purely stress relievers.
