To be honest, I’m a workaholic, and I barely get a chance to utilize my free time. But whenever I do, I enjoy doing the activities that best interest me. Although there is a myriad of free time activities, I love baking cakes since it gives me a sense of satisfaction.

Baking was a lately discovered hobby that relieved all of my stress and strain from the day. So, when I get home from work, I grab my aprons, take a mug, add all the ingredients and some extra chocolate chips, and keep it for 5 mins in the oven and yes, my mug cake is ready to dig in. Since I live alone, I bake alone. But whenever I’m invited to a party, I do not forget to take a cake along with me. I feel that there is no better way to feed people than a yummy chocolate cake.

I love baking cakes or cookies or even a box of mini cupcakes in my spare time (usually at night) because it distracts me from the 9-6 work and allows me to be more productive at the end of the day. It’s not just about baking cookies. It’s about the joy and happiness that comes with it. Overall, baking is a stress-relieving and therapeutic activity for me.

You could say I’m a workaholic. I am so much into my tasks on a daily basis that I almost have no time to free myself. But when I have spare time, reading is definitely my favorite thing to do, when it comes to choosing an activity to relax after work.

There are a small range of things I normally try to do to wind down, but reading books is one of my favorite. As my tasks frequently make my mind stressed, books should be the best therapy for me to escape from all of working stuffs. If possible, I would like to enjoy the evening in a cozy and peaceful ambience with soothing music, warm lights, soft sofa and a tasty cup of tea. Then, I will put my feet up, lay onto the sofa, digging into the story until it reaches 11 pm. In cold days, there will also a blanket for me. I find it therapeutic and relaxing when I spend a little time on my own, to nurture my soul with amazing and attractive adventures from books.

In short, reading books is my choice which helps me get away from all the pressures and have a more balanced life.
