Pick at random one day a month per month for the next four months. Mark these days on your calendar. Plan something special just for you! Certain activities are known to scientifically boost your levels of happiness. Some of these things include exercise, learning something new, engaging in creativity, and meditation. So on the days that you have set aside for yourself, consider choosing an activity that will boost your mental state. Here are a few ideas:
- Go hiking
- Dance class (double boost - music and exercise)
- Sign up for a class - Make it an art class and you can get some creativity in and learn something new
- Yoga
- Get a massage
- Color in a coloring book while watching a tv show
- Research something that you would like to make and make it
These are just a few ideas. The point is really to just schedule some time for yourself and follow through. Once you plan something and do all the work of deciding what you want to do, it's much easier to execute when the day comes. The hustle and bustle of daily life makes it easy to forget to engage in the freedom that we work towards. Meaning all work and no play will make you miserable. It's common sense, but common sense is not always common practice.
