What do you like to do?... BY Chris Agudo

“

What do you like to do?  Stop and think about it for a moment.  What I mean by this question is, what is your hobby, or, what do you enjoy doing?  The reason I am asking you this is because it seems as if humans in this time and age are completely putting distance between the things they enjoy doing and themselves.  Most of us, for the most part, have gotten to a point where being in enjoyment, happiness, and fun is completely foreign.  Maybe as babies and children we were immersed in all of this, but growing up it seems to go away, and that is completely by our own choice, believe it or not.

 

So by now, have you thought of an answer to the question I asked in the beginning of this article?  If not, stop reading this and come up with an answer.  And DO NOT think that you have no answer because "nothing" gives you enjoyment, or that whole response of negativity.  There is at least one thing that gives you enjoyment, and that is a fact.  As for me, writing rhymes/rap, running, hiking, hanging out with friends, and much more gives me enjoyment.  If I have to pick one then, writing rhymes/raps.

I have realized sometime last year that I was detouring away from doing that, I haven't written rhymes/raps in a while and I thought about it.  "What made me not want to do that anymore?"  It was because of my attention to the clutter and distraction that consumed me.  Seemed that society had taken a hold of me and distracted me from doing what I enjoyed.  well, I realized that and got back on track with daily writing from then on out.

From that, I became more relaxed and less stressed.  I became happier, and much more liberating emotions.  When I would become angry or sad, for whatever reason, I would pick up a pen and paper and start writing, and then, I would feel the weight being lifted off my shoulder as I began to feel better.

So... where am I going with all of this?  The matter of the fact is, many of us tend to not do what we enjoy, for whatever reason.  From here on out, make a declaration that you will do what you want, do that thing that makes you happy or brings you enjoyment.  Just do it, and stop being held captive to negativity, society, or anything that holds you back.  And most certainly do not bring up the thing about "not having enough time."  That is just bologna.  Biggest excuse in the book of excuses.

So get to it, do what make you happy, what brings you enjoyment and feel the stress go away.  Just try it, it doesn't hurt.  I promise.  And if anything you will begin to feel like you did when you were younger, without a care in the world and your creativity and imagination will seem to seep back in to your awareness.
