As you get older, there may have been hobbies you really enjoyed doing, but may have put on the back burner to raise your family, take care of an ailing parent, or just due to your hectic work schedule.
Carve out some time for fun. Hard work and no play makes for a dull and stressed out life. Pick up that dance class, hiking expedition, gardening, or sports activity that used to make you feel happy. If that particular activity ends up being something that bores you at this point, move on to the next hobby until you find something you enjoy. The point is to carve out time for something that you find relaxing and enjoyable.
