The word Freedom has a thousand different definitions.
There is freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, freedom of protest, and the list goes. At Job Duck, we believe that Freedom is all about being yourself, making your own decisions, and having control over your own life. We want to encourage you to live the life you always wanted to live- to be free to be YOU.
When was the last time you truly felt free? This is the question that most people often forget to ask themselves. Life can be stressful as we are constantly in an everyday routine. We need to work to secure a better future for ourselves and our families, eat to survive, and rest to have the energy to continue our ongoing schedule.
Whether we decide to create those moments to enjoy life or not that’s up to us.
Some people feel free when they play sports, others when they hang out with friends or family, and some even cook what they like or sleep early to get a sense of freedom.
The Freedom of Nature
There’s always something about nature that makes us feel free—the wind and sun on our skin and the grass beneath our feet. Being outside makes us feel free, a moment to enjoy ourselves and forget a bit about everyday stresses. Playing sports outside and absorbing a lot of vitamin D from the sun also releases serotonin, known as the ‘good feel’ hormone. Who doesn’t feel free in an environment like that?
Quality time with our Loved Ones
Spending time with friends or family is essential in forming strong bonds, love, connections, and relationships. Being surrounded by loved ones can help you overcome challenges and instill a sense of security. We celebrate the Freedom of spending time with loved ones to create memorable moments that would last a lifetime and be free to be yourself. A place where we are always welcome and a ‘home’ where we find true happiness.
Freedom in Food
People love to cook as a way to express their Freedom. Why? Spending time in the kitchen can reduce stress and anxiety while also improving mindfulness. Not only does the act of cooking and baking improve one’s mood, but the sense of accomplishment gained from seeing the end product also contributes to happiness. Performing an act like cooking for yourself and others provides a tremendous amount of confidence and self-esteem boost. In this way, people love to cook to feel free, feel the pleasure of being in charge, and have the Freedom to enjoy their hobby.
Unleash Your Creative Side
There are a lot of artists who find Freedom in expressing themselves in the form of art. Making art is a powerful way to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds. Being creative helps us relax, find peace within ourselves, and have true happiness within our souls. Doing what we love is important and having the right to love our hobbies is worth a celebration!
