SEC | S11W5-""""Recreation""""

Happiness, people wants to be happy. Moments, people love sharing moments and creating memories. How can this be achieved? Recreation. This is what we've been taught in school since our primary level up till now which is evident that it's of great importance. Some people spend more time working all days. Others barely have time for their families talk more of themselves. You'll see many going to therapist to seek help on physical development and health while others who are stressed would just ignore and view it as normal. Can recreation help?

To me, I view recreation as activities that amuses, create impacts and memories, enhance moments and alleviate anxieties done when one is free. You don't have to wait to be free. You may not have free time due to your schedule. All you have to do is buy out time for self-care and family. These recreational activities may vary ranging from playing football, spending time with family at home or elsewhere, touring, games and lot more.

The type of recreational activities I've enjoyed and is still enjoying include the following;

• Tour with Friends: One particular thing about me is that I love exploration. Nothing indebt me to personal living than visiting places. This i carry out on weekends or days I just devote for such. Like I said, I don't tour alone. Touring with friends has brought this integral part of socialization in my life as an introvert. I can remember when I did this tour with my friends on steemit to one of the most expensive hotels in my city. The serenity, greenery, atmosphere and site seeing places were formed part of my physical development. The fun, moments shared, crazy times, photographing and games kept my anxieties and worries aside. I thought less about life. And these tours I do embark on are in form of meetups too where we get encouraged and motivated.

• Meditation: To me, I considered meditation as one of my best recreational activities. Although most people devalue it due to lack of time, I set aside time for it because it's actually responsible for my mental health, especially one done in a serene atmosphere, full of trees and grasses. These kind of places are where I do my meditation because it makes me perceive nature in full.

• Families visiting Families: I enjoy it when my family visit other families. We spend time together, get to know their fears and challenges and also eat most importantly.

Recreational activities are very important for kids and parents because for kids;

recreational activities helps develops their brain and also makes them energized. There's a saying that all work and no play makes jack a dull boy. Creating time to create moments and cherished memories will actually give them something to live for. Socialization also comes to play as they'll be able to share moments with other kids through playing and other fun activities.

To parents, setting aside time for recreational activities helps relief their stress and anxieties derived from work or other activities they have been doing during the week. It may not be with family. This helps create insightful moments in their minds, leaving little rooms for thoughts. Just imagine all you know is work, get stressed during the day and then view it as a normal way of life. Stress kills and will continue to kill if measures aren't taken.

Like I earlier said, meditation has been a part of my recreational activities and I love doing it in open fields. This can be found in my city's 5 star hotel [ Ibom Icon hotel and Resort]. Their field is giving and there's this scent I perceive anytime I tour there with friends. I love carrying out these recreational activities with my family and friends. Nothing is more enjoyable and memorable than moments shared with them.

In conclusion, recreation gas been an integral topic taught in school of which both parents and children must prioritize.
