What kind of physical work would you do to relax? (Explained more in the thread)
Yesterday, in a few Reddit forums and generally from the discussions around me, I noticed that people are "tired" of office work.
Either too much routine or exaggerated demands on creativity and the like. Mostly, these are people who are paid well and can afford to "leave" their jobs – to explore, relax, do something else.
Some people change the type of work to physical.
For example, my friend is a programmer, but decided to ride a bike and deliver food via Wolt. Another is considering working on a farm.
Don't you also sometimes feel like you would change your online work for the offline world? What would you do?
Question for companies: In the descriptions of some companies for job positions, I see that after working for, for example, 5 years in the company, they give the option of a paid sabbatical for 6 months. What benefits do you have for employees so that they don't burn out?

I usually work out at home for about 20 to 30 minutes after work, following fitness videos. Exercise is a great way for me to relieve stress. On weekends, I enjoy walking outside or going to my favorite restaurant for good food. These activities help me feel relaxed and happy.
Working long hours in the office is not good for my body and mind, but I'm not financially free enough to quit my job yet. 😅

@peilan_qin Try also Sydney Cummings Houdyshell or Caroline Girvan, GymRa or MadFit. They are also great :)

@busmark_w_nika okey, I’ve already followed them on YT. Time to try some new ones! 😎
I have dreams of becoming a physical therapist. Two reasons: 1) It would keep my on my feet instead of at a computer. 2) It'd be easier to see the impact of what I do.

@hazel_ochola I think that having kids "forces" people to spend less time in the business, so it can be kind of a relief. Thank you for sharing :)
