Running Reflections: What do you do for fun?

Here’s what I’ve been thinking about this weekend, sparked by a wise one in my ecosystem who shared this on LinkedIn: “What do you do for fun?

What do you do in your spare time?

When people ask me those questions, I truly struggle to answer.

I keep myself busy with work, family, commitments that I rarely reflect on my downtime and what to do.

I need help!

What do you do for fun?

In your spare time?

I’ve written before in this #RunningReflections column about the challenge of being a human being - being without the need to do.

It’s hard.

Especially when so much of our worth is measured by productivity.

This weekend, I needed a bit of “down” time to recharge.

So… I coloured.

A few pictures.

No agenda.

No outcome.

Just a quiet kind of doing.

Not really a hobby.

Not especially productive.

But creative.

Meditative.

And of course, each picture had its own carefully chosen colour palette.

Still doing - but a different kind of doing.

A gentle effort… to just be.

What about you?

What do you do for fun, for rest, to simply be?
