HealthA few individuals view recreation as largely non-productive, even trivial. Excessive recreation is not considered healthy, and may be labeled as escapism. However, research has shown that recreation contributes to satisfaction, and that the stress management aspects of it contribute to quality of life, health and wellness, happines, and that the use of recreation as a diversion may have clinical applications to individuals with chronic pain and other health impairments.

However, others interpret Sabbath to be a day of worship without self-absorbed recreation. Recreation is one (not the only) kind of stress management, or even stress creator.

Asked by Amethyst Rancher - Sat Sep 22 00:35:45 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. You can come to Wisconsin. My ancestors came here more than a hundred years ago and hasn't left the state since (though I'm itching to leave) There are plenty of photography opportunities. Nature is also a very big thing here and we have hiking trails as well as a special park where kids go to learn about the wilderness and how to tell if an animal has been in an area by the "scratching" on a tree. I'm more of the high energy type, so my husband and I are thinking of moving down to Florida. The economy here is great. Weather-wise, we don't have extreme weather and you can go for a stroll or shopping in a tornadoe since it's just stronger wind but nothing major. Good luck!
