Stress and Leisure Activities
The Hobby Perspective
Stress can affect the perception of leisure time and hobbies by reducing enjoyment, limiting recreational choices, and influencing leisure preferences. In the U.S., individuals may experience stress-related disruptions in leisure activities.
To maximize leisure satisfaction, practice stress management techniques such as hobby exploration, relaxation techniques, and unplugging from work. Addressing stress promotes a balanced approach to leisure and enhances overall well-being.
