"Recharging Your Batteries" [Part 6]

From my personal point of view........

In this challenging world today, we can't deny the importance of the needs to take frequent breaks from our hectic daily routines & schedules. With ample educations & exposures through seminars, workshops, conferences, talks, symposiums, associations, clubs and many others, most people especially women are more open up to the social life surroundings of today's modern world.

If we care to look back to the days of our parents, grand parents or even great grand parents....... there seems to be not much of any social life activities which they can pursue. Father, being the bread winner of the family is seen to be out early in the morning & back in the late afternoon pursuing their career, while mother is always seen busy with her endless house chores from very early in the morning till late at night.

I sincerely felt that this article "Recharging Your Batteries" is such an important article which needs to be shared with everyone out there. Though the needs varies from each individuals, the general overview of it is important to help us open up our minds so that we can all have a better understanding of the importance of leisure which enables us to stay healthy, happy and be more productive in performing our daily duties, be it in our working life or at home.

Another point which I fully agree with the author of this article is that, leisure does not necessarily have to be something costly, a holiday or trip to a far away place or taking up some expensive hobbies which not everyone can afford. It must be something which is within our individual means, or else it will end up with more stress than the actual intention of "recharging our batteries".........
