I love it when they allow us to post as we wish without any subheadings making it more fun to post as we like. I am here to partake in "SEC-S17W2: family and leisure activities".

I will come straight to the point but before I do I invite my friends @solperez @eliany and @muzack1

As a marketing professional, I was involved in extensive traveling and when I settled in as senior manager, my only child, my daughter, went away for higher studies, so I got limited chances with my family. But let me accept that whenever we got a chance to enjoy outings, it helped us enjoy the situation.

To be frank, when you are out with your family, you become more joyful, productive, and away from negativity. However, as I said, being a marketing professional, it's not easy for me to have spare time to go out often.

I used to go out with my wife and daughter whenever possible, but I used to talk with them on the phone every day. I firmly believe that leisure activities bring family members closer in several ways.

Most of our leisure activities were like going to a movie or going to the hill stations. As I remember, we always came back happier than ever before, and I also believe that leisure activities increase communication and understanding among family members. My daughter was always close to her mom, but during these outings, we had better understanding and communication.

I believe these activities make everyone happy, create a relaxed and comfortable environment, and always allow us to connect on a deeper level. I feel leisure activities allow families to connect, communicate, and support each other, ultimately bringing them closer together.

Our fun and leisure activities were limited, though, like having dinner together, hiking, watching plays, movies, sports, or games. All of these things help make the world a better place. We used to go camping and travel as we were closer to places like Nainital, Mussoorie, Dehradun, etc.

During her teenage years, my daughter loved hosting parties for our family and friends, and she loved them. She was fond of music, liked to dance, and also invited her friends, and we enjoyed their company too. We have visited several zoos together. We have gone cherry-picking and taken guided tours during hiking trips and long drives. I believe that the main thing is to keep the relationship fun during leisure time.

Apart from having fun, traveling with family also increases security. The fun and carelessness that comes with traveling with the whole family. There is no need to do any formalities with the family members. At the same time, there is also a feeling in the mind that if there is extra expenditure on anything during the vacation, we will manage it together. Apart from this, lifelong memories with family also remain in the mind.

Every moment spent with family becomes an opportunity to gain positive energy. While traveling with family, we experience many things and get a chance to understand each other. When the new generation goes out of the country for a job, marriage, or studies.

In this busy life, a holiday removes the lack of communication between children and parents, even while staying at home. During vacation, you can improve your bond with family members through leisure activities.

Leisure activities help you provide happiness

Even if you go on a short vacation of just two days with your family, these moments spent together give you a chance to preserve happiness throughout your life. Whenever you are sad or facing any confusion, remembering these moments spent with family will make you feel better. These are the best moments spent with family during the holidays, which not only bring you happiness but also refresh you. At the same time, through holidays, you can also remove bitterness from relationships.

You get a chance to know your abilities

In today's time, everyone is so busy that he probably forgets that his wife, daughter, or other people in the house are also interested in music or dance. Or a family member with good photography skills. But when you spend holidays with family, you remember that yes, I was missing the same thing, so it helps to remember what specialty or ability each family member has.

Such activities with family not only give you a chance to think about mutual interests but also give you a sense of respect for each other. This feeling adds warmth to our relationships.

We experience something new in every such activity

Enjoying together means exploring each other's mental status. A chance to know new things and live them. Not only adults, but children also learn a lot from this. Traveling with my family gave me wonderful insight into nature and its surroundings. Because in every new journey, we not only get to know about that place but also get a chance to know and learn a lot about the environment, culture, food, language, dialects, people, etc.

Leisure activities help stay positive

Be it during a journey or after reaching a place, if any kind of problem arises, there is only one solution to it, and that is to find an immediate solution to that problem. Traveling teaches you this too. Through leisure activities like getting out of our comfort zone, adjusting to a new climate, adventure sports, etc., we challenge our limits and adapt ourselves to the new environment. These are all circumstances that help you stay positive. These statuses help you not only during holidays but also in many challenges in life.

Through such activities, we get a chance to become each other's strength

I understand that family members should understand the strength of living together, and a short vacation with family does it even better. For example, if we face a problem like not getting well together, an outing can do the trick instantly. We learn a whole lot of new things during our leisurely outings, like how I taught my daughter how to remove a fault from the car once it broke down on the way. We learn better about each other's choices of food, etc.,

This is a kind of inspiration that we get while going out for leisurely traveling. By facing small problems together, we understand each other on a deeper level. There is no better way to know your family than while having leisurely fun activities. You observe your family and its real strength at such moments.

We learn a lot while having leisurely time because we get practical lessons about the world, knowingly or unknowingly, and even test ourselves on different levels. So while traveling with family, apart from having fun, we also find ourselves in such a situation, we learn and teach money management.
