Singing
As human I believe we all can sing but are we all good singers? Or do we sing just because we have a vocal cord? Singing I believe can be regarded as a talent, not all of us are good at it, some don’t even know what holding a note is, but still consider themselves as goo singers. Some sing in the shower, some sing in the kitchen, some sing at weddings, some sing at funerals, some sing in clubs, and the list goes on and on.
Singing can therefore be considered as a very fun and enjoyable activity especially for those who do it with a passion. "Of course some people are more naturally skilled than others. Even if you are content to sing in the shower, there are some things you can do to improve your voice. Your golden voice will be ringing in no time, but then again, some people are born with bad voices, and become fabulous and famous". (wikihow.com). so don’t stop singing, sing until you are satisfied.

Debating
Debating

Is debating really a lifestyle activity, or is it just an act which individuals find themselves caught up in? well debating can therefore be considered as a lifestyle activity because there are people who wake up every day , going to work just to go participate in debating, debating is therefore mostly participated by politician in the parliament.
Debate can therefore be referred to as a formal contest of argumentation between two teams or individuals. More broadly, and more importantly, debate is an essential tool for developing and maintaining democracy and open societies. More than a mere verbal or performance skill, debate embodies the ideals of reasoned argument, tolerance for divergent points of view or rigorous self-examination. (idebate.org)
Debate therefore doesn’t always have to be formal, there are also debates which are informal, like debating with your friends and other people about something that is not really that important to relevant. So debating can therefore be viewed from different perspectives.

Cooking

Cooking has been considered to be an activity which women should participate in and not men. Religiously a woman belongs in the kitchen, cooking for their husbands and children, but is that really true? Is cooking really only for women?
Viewing the lifestyle activities of the 21st century even men do participate in cooking. Cooking therefore has its own benefits, especially for people who really love cooking with a passion, not those who just cook because they are forced or because they have to, cooking turns out great for those who really put their heart into fulfilling the task.
The benefits of home cooking are many and far reaching. "Home cooking isn’t always home cooking anymore. Boxed mixes, frozen dinners, and canned foods have created convenience that many of us depend on. Simple foods like mayonnaise, bread, and ice cream have become items that are almost exclusively purchased readymade. Many people don’t even realize that they can be made at home". (Marye Audet, 2013).
People do not appreciate or take part in proper home cooked meals anymore because of time, always busy etc., all they do is prepare these new instant packages which are quick to prepare just to get their hunger off the way. Home cooking, especially when done well, has many more benefits than you can think.

Skateboarding

Skateboarding is an action sport which involves riding and performing tricks using a skateboard. Skateboarding cam also be considered a recreational activity, an art form, or a method of transport. Skateboarding can also tend to be dangerous because one has no support structure when riding a skateboard. People fall and break themselves with skateboards but still go back for more; well I guess it is fun after all.
Many young boys are the target audience of this skateboarding act, they ride skateboards everyday till they get injured but the never learn anyway. Some people therefore have made skateboarding their everyday activity, whereby they skateboard on a daily basis, even making money out of the tricks they do with the skateboard. So although it is dangerous it can be a benefit to someone else.

Car racing

Car Racing
Some may therefore describe car racing as a masculine activity, but is it? Car racing is one of the most dangerous activities one could participate in, but many people enjoy it and yes especially men because that’s where they get to exceed the speed limit and that’s what every guy’s dream is, well so they say.
A race car is a type of automobile that is designed or modified to be used in contests of speed with other vehicles. Some race cars are specifically designed from the ground up for this purpose, though others are stock vehicles that have been modified to varying degrees. One factor that often differentiates a race car from any other automobile is the lack of passenger seating, working doors, and other features that would increase the overall weight of the vehicle. Race cars can also be differentiated based on the types of competitions they are designed to participate in. Some race cars are built for straight line speed, while others require sufficient handling characteristics to run on a circuit, rally race, or tour. (wisegeek).
Although all this may seem exciting, racing is still considered as a dangerous activity, so if one desires to participate in the activity, one must at least be an expert or must at least know what they are doing just to be on the safe side. So don’t let racing be a danger but a benefit in your life.

SkyDiving
Skydiving
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, skydiving is "the sport of jumping from an aircraft and performing acrobatic manoeuvres in the air under free fall before landing by parachute". Not everyone is able to sky dive due to the fact that some people are scared of heights and some have heart problems so they cannot therefore participate in dangerous activities which may cause their lives to be at risk.
Sky diving is therefore considered as a very fun activity and it is therefore also unique, experiencing it may actually make one discover things they have never discovered before. Skydiving can be done individually and with other people. Training is therefore required to go solo. "The jump can also be made from a helicopter or the bottom of a hot air balloon from 4000m or 13,000. Some thrill seekers attempt to skydive without a parachute whilst flying through the air, and instead rely on the small parachutes they have that professionals have put on them".
This may sound scary but at the end of the day it turns out very fun, I will be the greatest experience one could ever experience. "Most people are drawn to skydiving initially because of the 'adrenaline buzz' that is experienced when falling towards the ground. Freefalling is an out-of-this-world experience that feels more like floating than falling. This is because you are so high that you have no reference points to gauge your speed by. After the first few jumps the initial fear and adrenaline buzz will subside and you can start to enjoy the sport for more than just its excitement".(university of Portsmouth,2011)

Shopping
Shopping
Shopping is perhaps one of the other addictive activities/hobbies one could get up to, well that’s if you have the money. Luckily there is what we call window shopping , that is shopping whereby one just gets in and out of shops viewing the items but not buying anything but just admiring, so shopping is not only for those with money but it’s for all of us.
One can therefore shop for different and several occasions, some shop for clothes, some shop for food, some shop for material things like furniture, some shop for cars, and the list goes on and on. With the new technology that has emerged in the 21st century, there is also what we call online shopping whereby you buy whatever you need online without going to the shop physically and the item you have bought will therefore be delivered to you. So as one can see. There is actually more to shopping than just getting into a shop and picking up an item.
Shopping is so addictive that one can become bankrupt because of shopping. Some people to an extent that they have nothing in their accounts, to an extent that they don’t even have a cent not even affording to buy bread, that’s how addictive shopping can get. So not that shopping is bad, its good, but one should be able control themselves and their money. So let’s shop but also be safe on the other hand.

Gambling

Although some think that gambling is an illegal act, some take it very seriously and has made it their everyday activity which provides for them and their families with the profit which they make after gambling. "Gambling is the wagering of money or something of material value on an event with an uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning additional money and or material goods. Gambling thus requires three elements be present: consideration, chance and prize". (Helpguide.org)
Apart from all this, gambling can become a problem in one’s life and it is very addictive. There have been scenarios of people who tended to become addicted to gambling to an extent that they lose their cars, houses, jobs, wives and children just because of being addicted to gambling, so as one can see, gambling does not only come with the benefits of prizes, there are also consequences which one needs to deal with if they decide to be a gambling addict. You may think you can’t stop but, with the right help, you can overcome a gambling problem or addiction and regain control of your life.
So do not let gambling control your life in a negative manner, if you consider it as a fun activity in your life, just maintain control over it, and don’t therefore make it a lead in your life because it may end up destroying your life and people close to your life.

Dancing is an activity which individuals use to enhance their talent. Dancing can therefore be a talent which some people don’t have although some people dance for fun and some people dance as a hobby and some dance as a profession.

Now with regards to the elements of dance, dance has its own content, vocabulary, skills, and techniques, which must be understood and applied to be proficient in art. "The elements of dance are the foundational concepts and vocabulary for developing movement skills as well as understanding dance as an art form". (Minneapolis public schools, MPS).
Although dance is viewed as art, it can also be viewed differently to some individuals, dancing may tend to relieve stress for some, reduce boredom for others, keeps people’s minds off things and more. So dancing can be viewed from different perspectives depending on who you are and what it means to you. So if dancing is considerate in your life, just go for it.

image: www.maximise.co.uk
Clubbing! Clubbing! Clubbing! Yes clubbing, One of the easiest lifestyles to adapt to. Clubbing has become one of the most popular and easiest lifestyles to adapt to, especially for teenagers and young adults, and unbelievably men and women over the age of 40, yes over 40. Many may wonder what is the use clubbing, well I sometimes ask myself the same thing but I do it anyway.
People go clubbing for different reasons, some go to make money, some go there to look for love and some go just to have fun, by fun meaning dancing all night non-stop, yes that’s the life we have gotten ourselves used to. Grown men go clubbing to look for these young girls just for a one night stand then wake up the next morning not even remembering their names or where they even met the previous night, isn’t that sad? But it all comes back to just one word, Clubbing.
I sometimes ask myself what are the benefits of clubbing and weather it’s going to get us anywhere and I never come up with a solution, but what can I say, they all say it’s all about the fun in it and one will figure the rest out later, not that clubbing is a proper thing to do, but if you are having fun why not do it?

Art
Art
Art can be viewed in different ways depending on the individual you are. Some use art as a lifestyle activity whereby they draw sculptures, paint, create drawings and more. Art can therefore be expressed in different ways because as humans we are all different. Some people use art to express their feelings whereby they draw, paint, create depending on their emotions and what they are feeling on that particular moment or day.
Although some use art to express their feelings which are those who love art with a passion, some therefore use art to make money whereby they paint and draw pictures to sell them to the environment, these people are those who use art to make a profit in their lives. Some therefore use art professionally like designing engineers who create architecture drawings on a daily basis depending on the task that they are supposed to fulfil with regards to their jobs.
So as it is viewed that art can therefore be viewed from different perspectives and analyzed differently. If you are an artist and you are doing nothing about it, its time you go out there and embrace your talent, don’t hold yourself back because that talent will take you places in life.

Acting
Acting
According to the English Oxford Dictionary, acting is referred to as" the art or occupation of performing fictional roles in plays, films or television". Acting is therefore the work of an actor or actress, which is a person in theatre, television, film who tells us the story by portraying a character.
If acting just means pretending to be someone else, then anyone can do it because that is the lifestyle we live everyday as individuals. So one can therefore ask themselves why actor on television and films get paid to act as someone else though we can all do it, in that case can’t we all get paid? "A professional actor’s goal is to portray another individual as honestly as possible that’s it. A portrayal. Pretense. Pretending".
(Mark W. Travis, 2013)
Therefore, for professional actors, they consider acting as a career path, which is why they get paid for it, and some of us do not take it as serious as they do and as professional as they do, so pretending is not only a lifestyle which we are used to living every day, it can be a breadwinner of some people.

Education
Education
image: www.edudemic.com
Education is a very important topic, not only in our country but in the world. Education can be one of the important tolls of success, whereby some people describe education as the "key to success", but is it? According to the English Oxford Dictionary, education is described as, "the process of relieving or giving systematic instruction, especially at school or University".
Education does not require one to be of certain age, one can always be informed, skilled regardless of gender, age or race. Some continue to define education as "the wealth to know ledge acquired by an individual after studying particular subject matters or experiencing life lessons that provide an understanding of something". Education requires instruction of some sort from an individual or composed literature. Education can be described as a lifestyle activity because it is something which some people wake up to do every day of their lives, to get educated and to educate others.
Some people probably wonder why they have to study, what is the purpose and benefits of studying or getting educated, in short what is the purpose of education. According to Andrei Latsyshau the purpose of education is to educate the population and produce a particular statistic of distribution of people over particular mindsets, skills and more.
The purpose of education can therefore be to educate people about issues happening and occurring around them which they are not informed about, issues regarding political changes, media diseases, and more, which is why education is an important tool. Andrei continues by saying, "the conception of the education that I personally want to purpose is as next:
To produce participants of the society to be able to participate in social governance
To nurture a constructive, creative, methodological culture of cognition, thinking and communication.
To help people realize their own unique potential
To provide methodological mindset so that everybody is able to build own holistic and integral understanding of the society and find their own system in this society.
(Andrei Latsyshau, 2013)

Swimming
Swimming
image: Tribesorts.com
According to the Oxford English Dictionary swimming is described as the "sport or activity of propelling oneself through water using Limbs". "Swimming is derived from the word swim, meaning to move through water by means of fins, tail, or the limbs".
Swimming is an activity that burns lots of calories, and is easy on the joints and it also supports your weight, builds up your muscular strength and improves fitness. Swimming is also a healthy, low-cost activity that you can continue throughout your life. It is a low impact activity that has many physical and mental health benefits, it is also a great workout because you need to move you whole body against the resistance of water.
"Some people who enjoy swimming take it to a competitive level. This can provide the health benefits of a vigorous workout as well as the fan and thrill of completion". (Better health channel.com). Swimming is therefore a great recreational activity for people of all ages. Recreational swimming can provide you with a low-impact workout and it is also a good way to relax and feel good.
According to Mike Gustafson, there are 10 reasons why swimming is the best and maybe the worst sport ever:
Swimming makes you equal parts confident and awkward
Swimming see more sunrises than anyone else
Swimming can make you smarter
Swimmers are the cleanest athletes in sports
Swimming makes you sexy. It also makes you broke
You can swim forever
Swimming is the ultimate escape
Swimming is therefore the most popular sport in Olympics, but you can’t watch it live
Swimming is like flying
(Mike Gustafson, 2013).
