Summary # 1

If there is anything that I have learned in the past 4 weeks, it is the understanding of the value of Leisure. For me, Leisure as a noun sums it all up: “Leisure is the basis of enjoying life”. By implementing the definition of Leisure in ones life such as, state of mind, freely chosen, and intrinsic feeling of happiness, one can only conclude that your end result would be total satisfaction. I have decided that I am no longer going to let leisure constraints such as lack of time and lack of skills get in my way from trying new experiences and preventing me from enjoying my life to the fullest. When I re-examined my blogs, I notice that the vast majority are focused on others’ individual intrinsic moments rather then my own. Although I love my family very much, I seem to be experiencing my life’s happiness for the sake of others enjoyment. In the last few weeks my attitude on leisure has changed somewhat. I have become more self-determined regarding my leisure. Both my interpersonal and intrapersonal constraints have been impacted in such away that I am making a concerted effort to put myself first. I have decided to reprioritize several aspects of my life including making decisions fro my own well-being and satisfaction that include making intrinsic moments for myself rather than what others would like me to do for their happiness. I'm sure there will be many grumblings in my household, so what, they'll get over it.
