Hobbies create natural work-life boundariesI didn’t used to have any hobbies.
I don’t know whether it was because I’d not taken time to explore what I liked. Or whether it was easier to fill any spare time I had with work. Probably a combination of both. I started paddle boarding in 2019 on holiday in Crete. I enjoyed it enough to buy all the gear when I returned to the UK, but had quite low expectations. I thought it might be the equivalent of the souvenir which looks great on holiday but out of place at home. Paddle boarding has not been like that. It always exceeds my expectations. The beauty & calm of nature. Since taking it up, I’ve gained some fellow boarders. First MrR & now my brother & sister-in-law. We could have postponed yesterday’s trip because it was cold & threatening rain. So glad we didn’t. The weekends set you up for the week, don’t they? #worklifebalance #boundaries #hobbies #wellbeing
