We are called to love ourselves as part of the call to love God and love others. Taking care of ourselves includes making sure we have enough time in our schedules for activities that we really enjoy. Yes, it’s important to love your work, but you can also have another “occupational” love called your hobby, and it can help you express a side of yourself that you don’t get to express in your work. Take a look at the list of hobbies we’ve created. and then use the reflection questions below to consider how you are called to recreate!

As you consider a hobby, think about it as a calling.
- How is this a call to take care of and love yourself?
- How is this a call to social interaction or community development?
- How is this a call to develop and express your true self?
- How is this a call to experience joy?
