There are a few recreational activities that I’m fond of, but there is one that I particularly enjoy, which is walking while listening to music around the lake near my house. Most of the time, I would wear a headset and then immerse myself in my personal zone. Many of my friends think that is quite unusual or even monotonous of me as they often go for a walk with a partner to chat, but that’s how I want to spend me time. Well, this is a chance for me to reflect whether I have a good rapport with my workmate or do my job efficiently. Or sometimes, I leave my mind blank and just go with the flow with the music. 

​I choose to do this activity because of my limited stamina. I can’t really do strenuous exercises; however, this will still help me to be a bit physically active. So, if you’re intent on losing weight or building muscles, this kind of exercise will not serve your needs. I try to go for a walk as much as I can after work because I have been stationary for the whole day, which is quite dangerous for the body. Therefore, this light activity helps me a lot physically and mentally. My pastime usually lasts for about an hour and how I choose the music mostly depends on my mood. Much as I enjoy being alone, I think in the future, I will ask a family member or a close friend to do this with me. Then, I can be active and bond with my loved ones at the same time.
