Leisure is not a luxury:  Getting yours for individual and team success

Serious leisure is getting more attention in the Occupational Health & Safety communities worldwide as a source of workplace recovery, a means of preserving identity and also a means of finding or preserving meaning in the wider world of life as well as at work. Yet, for many in the veterinary professions there is little time or energy left at the end of the working week to engage in leisure activities. If you have hit a wall and already experiencing more serious mental health challenges, you may have already neglected your need for leisure and self-care.  Whatever your leisure and however long you might spend on it, there are some key features informed by the science and practice of psychology that you can harness to reap the benefits of serious leisure for yourself and for your team. It does not matter what you do, it is how you do it that counts!
