Must be out-of-doors enough to get experience of wholesome reality, as a ballast to thought and sentiment. Health requires this relaxation, this aimless life.
Henry David Thoreau
R and R Tip # 57 : REDISCOVER SIMPLICITY
To rediscover what really counts , start by simplifying your life. Quit doing things merely out of habit. Turn off the TV for a month or turn off the radio while commuting to work. See where your mind takes you.
Become comfortable with the idea of doing what you like. As you discover what you enjoy doing, you’ll find answers to what counts for you.
Recession proof relaxation starts with nature. Going for a hike, or a long walk through nature, is a great way to get outdoors and get away close to home
Going on a picnic is always great fun. Take a stroll in your local park and enjoy the performers and street vendor fare. People watching is always fun, too. Your entire family can get out and enjoy a beautiful sunshine filled day just at the local park. Most parks don't charge any admission and you'll find swings, slides and walking trails suitable for young and old alike.
Flowers are recession proof. Visit nearby arboretums and enjoy the blooms
Parties at home are fun especially when they are in your own backyard. A simple meal done on the grill and served on paper plates is always relaxing.
Vacation camping is one of the most fun, memorable and inexpensive trips you can take
Times are rough and we don't always have cash to to spend on FUN. These days it seems that more families are cutting back on entertainment and fun activities because of rising costs. One way to cut back on these expenses is to spend time at home with your family
Bird watching is another fun pastime that travels to you. Remember, cheap family fun doesn't have to be boring. As long as you have a fun and positive attitude with it, you can’t go wrong
Summer is great for playing outside in the sunshine, but sometimes we find ourselves stuck inside. Whether it’s a kabillion degrees and too hot outside, or the rare rain cloud has changed your plans, there is always a lot of cool activities you can do indoors to keep the summertime fun rolling
It is a crucial piece of a healthy life to have time to relax, refresh, and renew. In our culture of go go go, it is forgotten that relaxing is something you actively do, not something that passively happens to you in your spare time. Go to a concert, spend time with friends, read a book, exercise, or go dancing. There are so many ways to have fun.
Schedule time to relax; your productivity in your working hours will reflect it.
See you all next week!
Love, Live, Laugh and Be Happy!
