In a recent interview, Pope Francis shared ten secrets to happiness. The complete list is here.
Number four on the list is:
“A healthy sense of leisure.” The pleasures of art, literature and playing together with children have been lost, he said.
“Consumerism has brought us anxiety” and stress, causing people to lose a “healthy culture of leisure.” Their time is “swallowed up” so people can’t share it with anyone.
As summer stretches on, it seems a perfect time for evaluating our sense of leisure. How are you making time for leisure this month?
