48. Golfing

While many may scorn golf as a sport, imagine trying to put a pea through the mouth of a soda can at 100 paces. Get the point? Golf is a fantastic way to get a lot of fresh air and exercise. However, to gain skill at this sport, you need to work on developing your spatial reasoning skills, as well as understanding how things like wind impact the trajectory of your ball. In the process, you’ll learn the proper posture and form of a great swing — which is part of conditioning your body to act with precision and power on demand.

49. Coaching and Mentoring

Much like volunteering, becoming a youth league coach or giving time to a mentoring program impacts your community. You are providing a young person with emotional support and guidance that they may otherwise lack, which could possibly change the entire course of their life. That should feel pretty good, Men.

50. Meditation and Yoga

Taking up this practice will enhance your experience of everything. Both disciplines rely on centering your Self. Yoga teaches you how your muscles are interconnected and how your body works, and can be a part of a great new direction in physical fitness for you.

51. Fishing

This is both a sport and a great way to be out of doors. Fishing involves an understanding of your intended prey, and how to lure and draw them in. This incorporates concepts of ecology, physics, and animal psychology. More than that, it gives you time to simply be still, which is a skill that many Westerners have all but lost.

52. Traveling

The Dalai Lama says that you should travel somewhere you have never been each year. Stepping outside your comfortable groove of place and behavior, of your home culture itself, enhances your understanding of human behavior while also increasing your ability to empathize with individuals who are different from yourself. That understanding and ability lead to a more peaceful outlook, a greater level of self respect, and deeper compassion for others in difficult situations.
