Fun Friday

This week’s blogs have struck me as a little on the heavy side, so I decided to take a break from the Lord’s Prayer. Today I encourage you to do something fun for yourself. 

Self-care can come in many forms. Here are some suggestions:

• Meet a friend for lunch or a cup of tea.

• Take the kids to the park and pretend you are one of them.

• Walk the dog at your favorite spot rather than just around the neighborhood.

• Sit by the fire and listen to music.

• Take five—ten—fifteen minutes or more to read a book that has nothing to do with your work.

• Treat yourself to a spa service.

• Savor a piece of dark chocolate as it melts in your mouth,

• Take a bubble bath.

• Paint your nails. 

• Watch a silly movie.

• Paint your nails while you watch a silly movie.

• Doodle with no purpose in mind.

• Color using sparkle, metallic, or neon gel pens.

This last one is new for me. I found it to be soothing while I was sitting with my uncle during his last days, I found it to be so much fun when I colored right alongside my granddaughters. I found it to be inspiring as I pushed my color choices in new directions. 

Coloring books for adults can be found online or at any book store. I highly recommend them for self care therapy! 

Whatever you choose, make it a Fun Friday by taking even a small amount of time, effort, or money to treat yourself.

Me? I’m going to play tourist with my hubby in our hometown. Date Day!
