This month of October is a great month to schedule a few activities just for fun. In less than 90 days, 2010 will be over and if you have been working all throughout the year without taking a break, changes are, you will be exhausted or deeply desiring to getaway.
Don't plan this too much. Don't take away from your regular activities either. Simply incorporate some or all of these suggestions to your every day life just for this month. The game is to change your life just a bit, so you get a different perspective. The goal is to have fun as you do it.
1.- Visit a nearby book store by yourself. Spend at least one hour. Just walk around. Find a book, calendar or a magazine that calls your attention.
2.- Find a quiet beautiful spot in your city, such as: the beach, a river, a mountain view, a lake, a wonderful tree, a golf course. Take your lunch box with you. Take also a chair or sit on the ground. Spend another good hour. Depending on your mood, go by yourself or maybe invite a friend or a special someone. Just make sure, you will truly enjoy that hour and that you will have a wonderful lunch-time.
3.- Gift yourself the privilege of no-phone-calls- for-the-weekend. Simply put, on Friday afternoon turn off your cellphone. Stick to it. No cheating, please. Put it back on Monday morning when you return to your regular business activities. In the meantime, decide to just rest, listen to music, write on your journal, read a good book, or simply DO NOTHING.
4.- Check on your local area where you can go where there is live music on a weekday. Go and enjoy listening to music, looking at people have fun, maybe dancing. Good positive vibrations are contegious. It will make you feel good.
5.- Think of which new language you would like to speak in the next 6 months. Make it fun. Make it your hobby.
But best of all, in all of the above-mentioned ideas, you don't have to spend a penny. FREE, FREE, FREE so there is no excuse for you not to try them.
Let me know how you did. Feel free to send me an email: mspino2007@yahoo.com and share how you felt.
Love, Ms. Pino
