Describe A Free Time Activity That You Like Doing In Your Free Time Cue Card

Where do you do it?

Since I began this activity one month ago, I have seen changes in my day-to-day activities. Writing your feelings, expressions, and motivations down in a journal is one way to do this. Everybody keeps a notebook in a different way; some people do it to keep themselves motivated. Others use writing to express what's bothering them.

When do you do it?

I prefer to write in my journal after the end of each day. It helps me recollect my thoughts of what I did my entire day and enjoy myself more. Also it helps me to be able to accept my emotions and to just write them out. It makes me love myself more and to accept my flaws too. If someday I feel bad after writing it down it just makes me feel good especially when one doesn't have someone to talk to.

Who do you do it with?

I journal down both about my feelings, and also the goals I have for the day. I feel the best time for journaling is right after waking up. Journaling helps you keep a track of your thoughts, and doesn’t let you make any whimsical decisions. I prefer journaling in my favourite diary, it gives me a feeling of accomplishment when I tick them off after completing the task.

Most therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists ask every person to start journaling in order to have a clear mind. People get a clear picture of their plans. I like the activity of journaling, as it has helped me recover mentally.

When do you do it?

Why do you like doing this activity?

I realised how much I miss doing it, and I had to make time to practice it anyhow. I enrolled in an online dance class and opted for the weekend classes. The moment I started with the classes, I realised what I was missing out on. The initial days were a bit tough to catch up with. But I gradually got back my zeal, and it’s been two months that I am back dancing. In fact, I have never missed a class. This is an activity that always makes me happy. I am glad that I motivate myself to start dancing again. I am going to continue this activity, as I really like doing it.

I don't just dance to music but I just dance without music. I just let my body flow in the earthly music we hear every moment but don't realise it. I move in whichever way possible. To let my soul sway.
