ABSTRACT
Activity or occupation is central to life. Activity provides us with routine, rhythm and balances in life, and can give us a great sense of satisfaction and achievement. Activities also provide us with a lot of fun and enjoyment. Activity is a very broad term that includes a wide range of pursuits — from very physical sports through to gentle activities such as reading and meditation. Different people enjoy different sorts of activities. Some people like movement and enjoy things such as sport, walking the dog, scuba-diving or yoga. Some activities are very social – joining a walking group or book club, or taking dancing lessons. Some activities have great physical health benefits, or incorporate wonderful relaxation such as yoga or tai chi. Caring for a pet can be a great source of enjoyment and occupation.
