It is an hard job follow all my duties and my personal hobbies in the same time. I think that I can be a better dad, husband and even a better worker (I\u2019m a tourist office manager in South Italy, Amalfi Coast region), only if I look after me, only if improve myself being and, definitely, if I take care of my body, brain and soul. My family is my priority and I have to be at 100% of my potential to take part of this \u201cmagical square\u201d (I\u2019ve two kids). That\u2019s why I force myself to be a little bit egotistical and I leave for me at least a couple of hours per day. Practically speaking, I get up very early in the morning, by 5.30&#x2F;6.00 am, to do light work out, a short meditation and a nice and complete breakfast, everything alone in the dark of my living room overlooking the ocean out of windows. Then, every Tuesday I play volleyball with my friends and Sunday afternoon I write for three&#x2F;four hours children papers and poetry. The rest of time I work and run around to take care or have fun of my babies; my wife helps me a lot and she is agree with this life style.

Currently my new hobby is learning a new language. It might not be very creative but I\u2019m making time for it. As kettle as 15-30 minutes per session. Two to three times per week. So far I\u2019ve stuck to it. Hopefully it goes well. When I\u2019m done I wanna learn dancing. Maybe that\u2019s a bit more creative.
