            INTRODUCTION

Hello friends of steem for BetterLife, I hope you are all enjoying a new week. It is always beneficial to our body and health to have a leisure time. The kind of leisure activity we embark on depends on what we love and also our hobbies.

Leisure is the time we spend for our personal enjoyment, recreational activities and also for voluntary activities too. This is the time where we don't work, or do something obligatory. It is a moment where we have fun, recreate and do the things we love.

Leisure activities are those activities that brings leisure, pleasure and satisfaction to us. Some of these activities could be:

• Reading
• Photography
• Playing sports
• Playing games
• Fishing etc.

I have a lot of leisure activities like photography, reading, swimming, playing games but my favourite leisure activity is playing or watching football.

I love to play football because it is my favourite hobby, it makes me feel excited and happy. So it is one of those leisure activity that stands out. It is a recreational activity that makes me glad. Away from playing football, I also love watching football and my favourite team is Manchester United. Every weekend when I have my leisure time, I watch them play football. This is how I spend my leisure time.

playing football

Sometimes I stay alone when reading, it all depends on the kind of leisure activity I am participating in. If it is something like a game or sport, then it is going to be with my friends. My favourite leisure activity being sports means I spend my free time with people more. We tend to discuss and talk about football when we are watching. So I don't like watching football alone, instead I watch it with people I can discuss tactics, and some information with. Playing football isn't even done by one person. Whenever I play football, it is usually with my team.
So I spend more time with people during my free time.

watching a football game with other fans

A common leisure activity in my country is watching football. For example the African cup of Nations that just finished saw a lot of fans watching the game. We had troops of People flocking into viewing centres or watching from the comfort of their homes.

A lot of us are club football fans too and every weekend, we watch football and celebrate when our team scores. We also go to the stadium to watch football games. Football is a common leisure activity over here in Nigeria and it makes us excited and happy.

Leisure time is really important to our body and health. It is a time where we enjoy recreational activities, rest and relax from the day's work. The following are importances of leisure activities;

• It helps our body to be healthy.

• It increases the chances of us being mentally good and stable... Examples of leisure activities that can help with these are Rubik cubes, puzzles, crosswords etc.

• It helps to reduce stress and relax.

• It helps us to connect with other people with the same leisure activity.

Leisure activities are very very important to our wellbeing as it balances between our job lives and personal wellness.

Have a time for leisure activities, take your well-being very serious.
