What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time?

So, I came on to write a blog post and saw this question and felt compelled to answer.

Now I’d always say something fitness related here. My hobbies tend to revolve around running, the gym, classes. If I’m not there I’d normally say spending time with people. Whether it’s drinks or food or a walk. Or maybe even travelling, in the last year I’ve really caught the bug.

But do you know what I really value now, time with nothing planned. Those days where you aren’t booked up or working through a huge jobs list. Those days where you can just chill, watch rubbish TV, read, nap, essentially just be.

It’s like there’s a stigma to answering the ‘what are you doing this weekend’ with ‘no plans’. Yes, if every weekends like that you’ll get a bit down, but life is pretty full on so the odd ‘nothing’ day isn’t a bad way of spending your time.
