What can you do to change it up in the middle of the dreary winter? You can't take another day of the same old, same old. The weather is driving you nuts. The darkness is getting to you. You're considering work from home options like licking envelopes more every day just so you don't have to go outside one more time?
I get it. I am there with you. But, there are many little things you can do to enhance your life right now and get a fresh perspective, or at least have a little more fun with the blah days of winter...
Here are some ideas:
Plan the Biggest Bubble Bath in the World
Snow shoe around your own yard
Re-purpose something
Go through your closets and bag up what you don't wear
Color with crayons
Art Journal
Make a Smoothie
Plant Something
Make a tent and read inside of it
Cook a turkey dinner
The idea here is to enhance your life out of what you have around you. You have a rich life full of resources that are just waiting to be accessed. It is amazing to take what you have and look at it differently and find a new purpose for it. This is an acquired talent but one you can put into practice at any time in your life.
We tend to go through life doing the necessary only and every so often we feel the loss of our creativity with an inner boredom that comes out of nowhere and blindsides us! We suddenly realize that life is mundane and there is little joy or fun. This is because we have not paid attention to that side of our lives and have let go of the importance of nurturing our own bliss. It is a sad day when we realize our inner kid has slipped away, but it is easily remedied!
Look around your house today for little items that bring you joy. Find projects that are awaiting your attention. Pick up that hobby you put down and forgot about. Look through recipes, organize and digitize old photos, make a scrapbook...you know what you like; you know! Create your own fun and reap the benefits of a better day!
Take Good Care Today!
