Some days are boring. You decide to get in your car. Not sure what you will do, you go to the familiar.
I asked my groups where do they go to have a better day and what do they do:
1. Shopping for bargains
2 Look at new cars on the market
3. Garden shops
4. The beach for a walk
5. Dog adoption
6. Bookstore
7. Hit golf balls
8. Buy a new shade of lipstick
9 .Farmer’s market
10 New cafe
11 Used book store
12 Gallery
13 Shoe store
14 Yogurt stop
15. Buy a new game board
16 Museum
17 Buy new music
18 Computer store
19 Feed the ducks
20 Read the newspaper at a café
21 Watercolor outside, usually flowers
22 Charcoal art
23 Collages to make with magazine pages
24 Photo animals in the park or shelter
25 Add to my website
I am sure you could list what lifts your spirits. What you hope to leave in the house, as you venture out, is your inner critic that says, “YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE. YOU ARE WASTING YOUR DAYS. YOU OVER SPEND TO BE HAPPY.”
What is your inner critic saying to you and how can you shift. “This is the best I can do for today.”
Take care,
