Where do you enjoy your recreational activities most?

I enjoyed it outside because enough views and I like appreciating the wonderful creatures outside and I wouldn't be distracted enough concentration and I'm always more relaxed. It's allows myself to have the necessary rests it needs.

Family indoor party

Unlike indoors, I will be busy with either cooking or arranging things or paying attention to baby. All this distraction won't allow my body to get the rests and free my mind and enjoy.

Party with friends

Recreation is something no one would like to miss, it is my everyday business as working in a recreational center is also part of my work or daily activities so I find time to do so often. If you do so too you will find peace at all times and stay happy irrespective of this hard time that is hard to deal with.
