Do you know someone who doesn’t know how to relax? Using your free time to actually relax and unwind is extremely important. It’s part of self-care. It’s a way to let go of stress, to breathe again, and to give your mind and body a break.
This month, for our Weekend Fun posts every Friday, I will focus on the fun side of freedom because freedom has a fun side. Like the freedom of free time.
First of all, if you don’t think you have free time you need to read this book.
Second, if you find yourself with free time, don’t waste it. Use it to take care of yourself. Use it to let go of stress, to unwind, to relax, and to breathe. Use it to have fun. Use it to regroup and re-energize.
It may sound counter-intuitive, but if you want to keep working, you need to stop working. You need to get a break before you burn out and your body shuts down, because when that happens, you won’t be able to work.
Here are some ways to make use your free time on yourself.
Read
This reason to sleep in.
The win for traditional books. Yay books!
What books are you currently reading? I recommend this one for fiction, because it’s the only fiction I’ve read lately, and this one for your soul.
Watch
“Minority Report” the TV series. It’s spun off the movie and has a lot of promise. I like their references to our present time, like how Beyonce’s music is part of the classics and Tinder is the old way of dating. If you like sci-fi, check this show out.
These entries from the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards are worth seeing!
Do
Play around with Snapchat’s Lenses feature. Why? Because it’s silly. Laugh for laughter’s sake. It’s good for the soul.
Make Microwave Mug Pies, either pumpkin, apple, or pecan. Hello, Fall!
