There is also a saying that the Family that prays together stay together. I personally love to add that the family that prays and plays together stay together. The place of play cannot be jettisoned in any relationship that must continue to flourish and have positive effects on the actors.
More often, when one feels rejection from non family members, the effect may not be as intense as when it is one's family members rejecting one.It could be suicidal. When a child receives bully and hate speeches from the world but if in the home, there are encouraging words,the pressure from the outside world may be less effective especially when it is a family that really stays together.
In the West,there are recreational centres,relaxation centres that are appealing and psychologically inviting .
In Africa,we also have our means of relaxing with family and friends in joints and local game houses like I see in some villages and settings but I doubt if in Africa,we really recreate or have relaxing fun with family members as some persons do not even visit those few places until they are overwhelmed with family problems and the purpose of the relaxation is to drink away (Alcohol)your sorrows.
Everyone is busy hustling for daily Bread and therefore we hardly engage in Fun and games especially in busy cities.
Having vacation holidays are very important and sine qua non to our total wellbeing, it rejuvenates us and enables us carry on again.
Families should therefore make out memorable dates and time for holiday travels for the sole purpose of recreations and plays. One can also decorate one's house for such purpose. It helps solidify and bond relationship. Such plays should also engage all categories of persons in the family. The special dates could be birth date of family members,Mother's day,Independence day,Father's day,Christmas Breaks(Family camping could be included).
The Nigerian economy may not encourage one to consider this but honestly,occasionally its just good that one closes up against every negativity around and just catch your fun. Visiting Cinemas also could be part of it as we now have modern Cinemas and Game houses where we can catch some fun with family and friends by horse riding,Quizzical games for the younger folks etc.
Now is one of those periods we can really recreate,its December,end of the year period,while we do not forget the reason for the season,being alive,one deserves to also catch some fun and get some energies through recreation,It will help you get better and efficient .
That's the way to go.Have fun please.
