Mental Relaxation


What is important for mental relaxation, apparently, is not that a man

shall try to set his mind at absolute rest, for that seems to be

impossible, if a man really has a mind; nor that he shall occupy it

with trivial things (because his interest will not be caught by them

and will revert to the last serious thing that he was doing), but that

he shall have an outlet for mental activity in entirely another

direction from that to which he usually devotes himself. In other

words, it is important that a man shall have a hobby, and that he

shall ride that hobby whenever his ordinary business, whatever that

may be, will permit him, and the more interesting the hobby, the

better.
