One of the often missed pieces of leader health is having positive hobbies. Many driven people are so busy, that they rarely have hobbies. Sure, they might relax, vacation and even sabbath, but do they have hobbies? Recently I heard a leader make an interesting distinction about hobbies. Hobbies are those things we do and enjoy that do not make us money, but cost us money. Now sure, there might be some free or cost neutral hobbies, but there are not many. It was then I realized that many of the things that I saw as hobbies were just things I would do to relax. While I was not and am not looking for reasons to spend money, it has struck me that I need to be more intentional about hobbies. Over the last several months I have been working on this. What are your hobbies? How do they give you life in a positive way? Do your hobbies cost money?
