It’s been a little while since I talked about how important it is for people to have a hobby. A hobby can be anything that someone chooses to do in their leisure time. My favorite hobbies are riding horses and rock climbing. These activities not only provide me with benefits from the physical exercise they require, but they add to my self worth and help me build confidence in numerous ways. Horseback riding, specifically, improves my ability to reason and reflect on how another creature feels and will react to me: my voice, my body language, my touch, and my presence. Riding conditions me to handle myself appropriately to yield an outcome that keeps me safe, having fun, and reflecting on my ability to affect another living animal. When we are both comfortable and enjoying each other it can feel like we have escaped the mundane routine of an ordinary day. The best part of riding and interacting with my horses is that they require focus. My focus on them temporarily erases my focus from any stress associated with the lesser parts of life.
Riding or climbing may not be your thing, but I’d love to hear what hobby frees your soul from routine? Now, take a minute to reflect and make sure you are saying yes to yourself enough to enjoy it!
