You need to take some time for yourself to regroup and replan your days. There is nothing wrong with planning out your day according to a schedule you create. The first thing to think about is how you want to take time out of your hectic day and just do something you really love. I have compiled a list of ideas that I would do. Maybe you can choose a few from my list and add some of your own.
10 Things You Can Do right NOW:
- Go for walks – grab a sweater or jacket and when it is sunny outside, it’s so nice to take a nice long walk alone around your neighborhood. Or perhaps there is a track close to your house, like in my neighborhood, at a local high school, that I have tried. It has lights, in case you are afraid to go around your neighborhood in the evening.
- Take vitamins – maybe you are feeling blah and slow-motion. The proper vitamins would be a great boost to your system. Check with your doctor to see what is the right kind of vitamins for you.
- Regular check-ups – as I said above, you should make regular check-ups and physicals
- Spa – get a facial done once in a while. It will feel amazing. You could even get a relaxing massage. You will feel amazed.
- Exercise – you will feel good when you go to the gym and get in a good workout with some weights and cardio.
- Movie night – trust me with this. You will love going to check out a movie by yourself. I did it. I went to the theatre with the big cushy chairs and enjoyed myself immensely.
- Go on a date – go out to dinner by yourself. It’s just you.
- Go shopping – you don’t have to twist my arm. LOL! Who will not feel great when you go shopping.
- New hobby – many things you can do. Start a blog (you will love it)
- Start a journal – write down all your thoughts and feelings in your journal. I have created a FREE journal for you.
Accomplishing any one of these 10 tips will put you on the right path to a refreshed and better you. You deserve to have peace of mind; gather your thoughts, plan out your day better, and you will be yourself again.
