You’ve worked all your life and now you are looking forward to retirement. How will you spend your time?

Many people have not created balance in their lives between work and play, so when it comes to leisure time or retirement, they don’t know what to do with their time.

If you no longer have to work, or you are working less, here are five areas that you can attend to regarding how you spend your time.

PHYSICAL HEALTH

Consider joining a gym, getting on a regular exercise program, taking up a sport, taking dance lessons, and/or learning yoga or tai chi. Leisure years can be filled with aliveness if you take excellent care of your health.

Do some research on nutrition and learn how to create healthy meals. There are many excellent books on achieving a high level of health, even in your later years. You might have years to live so you might as well learn how to live them in a vital and healthy way!

EMOTIONAL AND SPIRITUAL GROWTH

If you had not given much attention to your emotional and spiritual health – to the journey of your soul – now is a good time to do it. Now you have the time to read the excellent and inspiring books on achieving inner peace and joy. You have the time to attend lectures, workshop and seminars on healing the beliefs that may be limiting you, on connecting with your personal spiritual Guidance, and on taking loving care of yourself and sharing your love with others.

If you have never been introspective and taken the time to get to know your self on the inner level, now is a great time!

GIVING TO OTHERS

The most fulfilled people in life are those who find ways of giving to others and to the planet. If you have had to work hard all your life, you might not have had the time to volunteer or find other ways of helping. Now you have the time to explore what ways of giving really bring you joy. Would you enjoy volunteering at a day care center, sharing your love with little ones? Would you enjoy becoming part of a peer counseling group, supporting others in being all they can be? Would you receive satisfaction from becoming involved with groups that are helping the environment, helping the homeless, helping battered women and battered families, or helping abused children? Perhaps you would love to be involved with supporting the arts?

There are many fulfilling ways of giving and now you have an opportunity to discover which ways bring you joy.

CREATIVITY

Being involved in creative activities is one of the most fulfilling ways of spending time. What have you always wanted to learn to do? Do you want to learn to draw, paint, or make ceramic pots? Do you want to learn to work in wood, carving or making furniture? Have you always wanted to try your hand at writing, perhaps writing poetry, a novel, or a screenplay? Do you want to become an excellent chef? Maybe you want to learn more about interior design and home decorating? Perhaps you want to create a beautiful garden or learn about flower arranging? Have you always wanted to learn more about jewelry making, weaving, needlepoint, sewing or knitting?

Now is a great time to discover what creative activities being you inner peace and joy.

PLAY

You might find that your physical activities – golf, bowling, and so on are the ways you play. Or your creative activities may be the ways you play. You might also want to find other ways to play, such as playing board games, card games, or doing puzzles. You might enjoy computer games or the many games that are available through TV.

Don’t let your leisure years be boring and unfulfilling. If you do not have to work, you have great opportunities to develop yourself in so many ways!

The Fijian United Nations Development Programme, is considering looking at consigning a value to the time people use up on unsalaried work. The latest report revealed that women in Suva spend 58 hours a week on housework, contrasted to males who only spend 8 hours.

The report also said that women in the tropical island nation of Vanuatu, voted the Happiest Country On Earth in 2006, have 25 percent less leisure time than men. (Who is kidding who, in a male dominated community?)

UNDP Pacific Centre manager says “It’s important to provide separated out data about the different roles men and women play in the community, if the UNDP is to understand how a particular policy might impact differently on different genders”. Without this type of information, the Centre understands it would be unable to plan workable programs or policies.

The word is out that most people have 45 minutes more relaxation time daily, than was available 40 years ago. Half of that is used watching television (report numerous experts). The average person in a Western nation allocates 2.5 hours a day to the relaxing diversion of watching television.

This break down of an average person’s day to day routine was published in 2006 from an unknown source.

Activity:                                 Time Spent by Gender      Marital Status

Men       Women          Married   Single

Phone calls, mail, email      7 min     14min           8min        14 min

Caring for Non-household    13min    15min            13min       14min

Religious and civic duties   16min     21min           20min       17min

Caring for Family              20min     43min            45min        17min

Educational activities         28min    26min             7min         51min

Buying goods, services      38min      58min          53min       43min

Eating and drinking          1hr 18min 1hr 11 min   1hr 24 min 1hr 8 min

Household activities         1hr 20min 2hr 16 min  8hr  8 min   1hr 26 min

Work related activities      4hr 26min 3hr             4hr 1 min    3hr 18 min

Watching television         3hr 28min 2hr41 min     2hr 24 min  2hr 47 min

Personal care and sleep  9hr 13min  9hr37 min   9hr  8 min    9hr 46min

Then Harris Poll shared these results, in 2004, subsequent to a nationwide telephone survey:

·        35% of adults put reading top of their list.

·        21% would rather watch TV

·        20% liked to spend time with their family and friends

Harris Poll reported these three activities as having been placed at the head of the list every year since 1995. However, it is understood that technology such as the Internet clearly sways the use we make of leisure time.

There is one question that begs to be asked. How were these results arrived at and what is their ability to truly give an overall picture of life either in 2006 or 2009?

It certainly seems the more ‘time-saving-devices’ we are given, the less time we have to do the things we really want to do. Time is our most precious resource and must be used, protected, cared for and used wisely, just as we consider the expenditure of any of our other resources.

World of Warcraft gold guides are available all over the place and from a bunch of different people. Because there are so many you have to be selective in the process. Let’s go over a few must haves for any good WoW gold guide.

World of Warcraft gold guides have to have certain things that make them worth the buy. The first thing is the size of the primary guide. Now that sounds like a no-brainer, but let me quickly explain. When you buy a gold guide, it usually comes with more than one WoW guide, there is the main guide and then the supplemental guides. That’s why the primary one is so important. Look for at least 200 pages for the main one, that is just an approximation but I have found that if they’re at least 200 pages it means they usually have nice maps, nice screenshots and detailed walkthroughs.

Also make sure the WoW gold guide package has at least 2 supplemental guides. One definitely has to be an Auction House guide, and another should be a fishing manual of some sort. I chose those two because it is in mastering the Auction House where you will make most of your big bucks. You must be able to understand the market and know when demand is high for your supplies. Fishing is a overlooked way to profit, the fishing manual should teach you at the very least which fish are the most profitable, where to find them, and what you need to do to level up the Fishing Profession to be able to get the rod and bait to attract the expensive fishes.

A good World of Warcraft gold guide package should also have a mob chart, to find the profitable mobs. If used right, this is easy gold. Ideally a mob chart has the mob levels, the mob locations, what the mobs drop, and what is the easiest way to kill them. The mob chart is a gold mine when used in conjunction with quests.

Quest walkthroughs are also a good addition to a complete World of Warcraft gold guide package. Quests can be very profitable if you know what you get when the quest is completed. That’s why the walkthroughs are important because you don’t waste time on quests that aren’t profitable. The quests walkthroughs should focus only on the most profit making ones.

This cannot be overlooked, it should have a members forum or at a minimum you should have the ability to contact the author personally for help. This is self-explanatory.

There you go, that is the basic criteria you need for a good World of Warcraft gold guide. Best of luck!

Your resume and CV would have one sub-point reserved for ‘Hobbies’. Have you wondered why? Hobbies would often tell the employer what type of a person you are – happy, creative, intense, extrovert, introvert and so on; it would also indicate whether you allow creativity a free hand – a thing that is extremely important in personal and professional growth no matter what field you choose for yourself.

The founder of modern psychiatry, Sigmund Freud had pointed that mental disorders are more often than not the result of unrealized and un-integrated (with life) creativity. People who are normally forced into “successful” and demanding professions often choose to give up their hobbies or leisure time in order to further their career. The demands on their time being such, they rather take rest than indulge in their hobbies whenever a window of free time emerges. When there is no more time for fun, in walks anxiety uninvited and unwanted; and that is always bad news.

Leading psychiatrists are of the opinion that hobbies and leisure time occupations such as watching TV, gossiping with neighbors, walking in a park, learning a new language and so on, actually help your mind and body to de-stress. The process is simple – when you do something you love, your mind would shut off the problems that worry you and revel in the pleasure generated by the activity you enjoy. When your mind is off problems, your body relaxes and your mind is able to think with more clarity. This means you short-circuit an impending anxiety attack and are very likely to find a solution to your problems. Isn’t that called a win-win situation?

Some people know what gives them pleasure to do – and cultivate this activity as a hobby or leisure time occupation.  What about people who are undecided about what they would really like to do? If you are surprised at this, don’t. There are many people out there who have never thought about it hard enough to identify what they would like to do for pleasure. Well, finding out is easy. Ask yourself this question, ‘If I had all the money in the world and did not have to work for a living, what work would give me the most pleasure?’  Do not look for one answer – because there would be many swimming in your mind and if you are looking for one answer you would be disappointed enough to stop searching.

Make a list of all the possibilities that pop up in your mind. Stop when you reach at reach at 20. Keep the list where you can see it every day. Give yourself a month to identify what you love to do. In the meantime, take out the list everyday and add or delete suggestions from it, aiming to narrow it down to 10 favorite activities – if you can reduce to less it would be even better. Once you have a list of 10 items prioritize these in order of your preference, the best one first. Now, the list would be do-able.  Establish a time at least once a week where you would take up one or more of the activities on your list. Keep doing this until you identify what gives you the most pleasure among them all. Please keep in mind that you could choose more than one hobby.

Here are some examples of creative and fun-filled hobbies:

1.    Photography

2.    Creative writing – poems, snippets, how-to books, short stories, chicken-soup stuff, memoirs

3.    Painting/ learning to paint

4.    Drawing cartoons/ animation/ sketching

5.    Model building – ships, airplanes, cars, buildings, and the like

6.    Traveling to see the world

7.    Traveling to learn about different customs and people

8.    Historical traveling

9.    Traveling to discover the taste of the world – for food lovers

10.    Cooking/ baking

11.    Stitching/ embroidering/ tailoring

12.    Swimming/ skiing/ ice-skating/ any outdoor sport you love

13.    Indoor sports – chess, carom, bowling, table tennis, billiards

14.    Chatting on the Net

15.    Surfing the Net

16.    Singing/ playing an instrument/ learning to sing or play an instrument

17.    Woodworking/ carpentry

18.    Mechanic work/ working on cars, motorcycles

19.    Horse riding

20.    Training animals

These are only a handful of things you could do. The list is endless. You need to allow yourself enough time to identify the one or two activities that give you the most pleasure. Once you found it out, pour in all efforts to make it a full-time hobby. Ensure that every weekend you have a couple of hours reserved for your ‘battery re-charging time’ when you indulge in your pleasure.

You will find that as you channel your creativity into the chosen hobby(ies) you would feel more relaxed, tolerant of your mistakes and those of others, slower to anger and worry, and more productive. This is because when you are happy, your brain actually works more effectively.  As you cannot cry and laugh at the same time, so you would not be able to feel anxious and relaxed at the same time. As your hobby would take root and you discover yourself through it, you would find that your anxiety or panic attacks become lesser and lesser both in intensity and number.
