Everyone should have an outlet.
Critical Reflection
I think every individual should have outlets to relieve stress. Many say that social workers are over worked and under paid. The problem is very often that social workers care so much that they over extend themselves.
Every interaction with a client is sort of like a board game. What will they do, what will you do, can you anticipate what will happen, will it be what you're used to or will it shock your socks off? It can become overwhelming.
I love every minute of what I do and love the idea of what I can do, especially as a social worker, but I feel sometimes I have to relieve stress. I think this shows two good qualities I have: I am creative and I can relax.
In my free time I like to knit, play the guitar, write music and draw.
