I think I've touched on this subject before. Hobbies are good for your health! I have no doubt about it.
Over the last few weeks (months even), my health has not been in a good place and most of is relates to stress. I won't harp on about what's causing the stress, but the end result has been extremely poor sleep, constant worry and very high blood pressure (typically 195 over 104)😲 My doctor has started to treat my BP with an increase in medication, but it's not dramatically different up to now.
This weekend I spent all day in the shack - it had become untidy and looked a right mess! That in itself brings me down a bit, so I decided to devote the day to sorting everything out and then I spent the rest of the weekend in there playing radio.
It was just what I needed! I was relaxed and enjoyed myself immensely, not giving a thought to my worries. A BP measurement late on this afternoon gave me a reading of 154/84 which is about the best I've had in quite a while.
Don't neglect yourself! Take time out to do something you love - something which demands your attention and therefore keeps you focused on the good stuff in life.
73 my friends!
Tom, M7MCQ.
