What should we do in our leisure time?

Some people think that it is important to use leisure time for activities that improve the mind, such as reading and doing word puzzles, other people think that ie is important to rest the mind during leisure time. What's your opinion?

our leisure time should be used in activities in which which we are interested , which makes our mind happy. Like we can play badminton to fresh up, i love to do reasoning in my leisure time. One can do experiments, write novels which is my fav. hobby. this is the best use of time which you can do in this talented world.

I support all of these. Kite building and flying not so much, not my favorite past time, but the rest yes. Hunting only if for food, not as a sport.

Kites were a hobby as a kid. Rocket building was fun too - though I couldn't afford it for very long.

The mind has no free time, it is constantly in use even while sleeping. I usually read and golf.

Is it really leisure time if you're being active. Voluntary brain activity is still activity. I mean it is your choice ultimately but I wouldn't consider it leisure time if you're not relaxing.

My leisure time is usually spent in bed relaxing from doing parkour, or sitting in a kitchen waiting for my pre cooked food to be heated.

Oh I'm 50% agree with you that our brain needs to relax after a hard working day. But you know, I think leisure time doesn't mean the time that we just relax and do nothing. To me, it's the time for us to do the thing we want. Whereas you enjoy yourself with doing parkour , I find quite relaxing while reading and playing sudoku. These are obviously the activities that improve our mind during we're resting. Even when you encounter a difficult math problem but then you can solve it successfully, it will give you an amazing and relaxing feeling!

So for me it's our feeling when we do that thing, not what we are doing that 's the matter.
