Taking time to do the things you like, makes your life a little bit more fun. Sometimes people don't take time to appreciate their hobbies. Activities where they can be who they really are. By experience I may say that, when you don't have a favorite activity, you feel that you depend on the time of another person.
To be frank, that is really awful because you don't give the other person a chance to miss you. Why? Because you are always there. It took me a while to face the truth. And I have to thanks to many people that teach me that finding something that I love it's part of a healthy life style for you and the ones around you. And at the same time, something that I enjoy doing alone or in company makes me explore others aspects of life. It's really difficult at the beginning. I did an exercise years ago where I noticed that I was just doing things that other person like, not me. Some of the situation that can make you identify if you need to find a hobby are the following:
- If every time other person goes to an activity, you go with him/her because you have nothing to do and I mean, nothing to do.
- If every time somebody ask you, what would you like to do today and your answer is: "I don't have plans. Let's do what ever you like".
- If you daily routine, is monotonous.
- If you don't plan activities for your pleasure, and you do it for being good with somebody else.
- If you're afraid of going alone to do what you like
And those above, are just a few of the alarms that may awake you.
So, I decided that I needed to change that aspect of my life and I did. I start by putting in a list the things that I 'm passionate about. After a few days, I was doing the things that I Like. Such as: Going to walk, breathing fresh air, starting an the MBA I always wanted, Going to the gym, reading some books and so on.
Finally, my dear reader, if you are reading this article today and you identify yourself with some of the things I said. What I may tell you is: " It's never too late to start." If you want it, you can do it. I hope that I helped you with my experience.
