It’s a cliche that bears repeating: All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Thankfully, we’ve got options, lots of ‘em. There’s the easy ones: coming home from work and flipping on the TV, or perhaps going to see a movie. Or there’s the more challenging ways to blow off steam: hiking in a local park, or planning to run a 10K. Either way, passive or active, it’s all escapism from the daily grind, and when put to good use, seeking entertainment can be a healthy thing, helping us kick back, laugh, take a deep breath and relax.
