Not only was it enjoyable it was a really useful experience from a professional perspective. Plonking along on a sailboard in a stiff breeze the only thing I could concentrate on was the waves, wind and my balance. An hour on the board focussing on these things delivered a refreshed mental feeling, being able (or forced in my instance on the water) to switch off mentally completely from business issues.
I thoroughly advise that you figure out that special sport or past time that allows you to immerse yourself in the 'present' and switch off from day to day issues. I only wish I had revisited this sport a few years ago.
