I enjoy cooking and I run at least twice a week. I started taking Spanish classes, but stopped to work a part-time job a couple of years ago. I need to start back. Duolingo seems to be the right tool for me.

I love cooking when it’s a new recipe that I can customize. Even though I write for money and monetize my blog, I still view them as hobbies that help me release my creativity, improve my skills, and learn more about certain topics.

I read the article just to see if there was anything about running, and there was!!! I love running as well, sometimes for time and sometimes to relieve stress.

Thanks for the great quick read.

Cooking is one of my favorite hobbies! I have a few friends who cater who sometimes hire me if one of their regular employees can’t make a gig, and of course my family enjoys the benefits of a healthy and delcious diet every day.
The only problem with cooking is that it makes me a huge restaurant snob. I don’t like to eat at any restaurant where I can make something better.

I didn’t know how big of a deal exercise was until I read “Spark” by Dr. John Ratey M.D. Exercise helps us learn and retain information, helps with anxiety, it helps the depressed, helps lift up moods, helps with aging, etc. He goes deep in the book.

I knew exercise was important but I didn’t understand why. Also when I exercise I tend to get a lot of my good ideas. :)

Hey Mike!

Great article! Your thoughts are definitely in line with mine. I’ve heard for years, in regards to one’s mental capacities, “If You Don’t Use It, You’ll Lose It.” It’s my understanding that a positively engaged and challenged brain is a brain that will stay strong much longer than one that isn’t.

My father-in-law has Alzheimer’s setting in. After he retired, 25 years ago, his only interests were hunting and fishing. When the body prevented him from do so, he had nothing to keep his mind sharp, no hobbies that I know of.

Not me! I plan to keep learing, trying new things, writing, shooting photos, etc.!

I’m definitely going to pass this one on!
