From today (July 17th) until the end of Labor Day Weekend (September 6th), there are a little over fifty days left in what most consider the summer season. I do not know about anyone else, but this period seems to have just zipped by. In the spirit of mindful presence, I want to focus on fun, lighthearted activities that fill my days with joy without costing a lot of money.
A few ways I am planning to spend these remaining moments:
- Have a picnic in the park with friends
- Check out 2 – 3 fiction books from the library
- Watch as many women’s soccer games during the Olympics as I can
- Go browsing at a few vintage/thrift/resale stores
- Use gift cards we have been given to local restaurants for outdoor date nights
- Build a rainbow Lego set with my niece & my nephew
- Clear 25 things out of our apartment
- Write a handwritten letter
- Eat a giant ice cream sundae
- Visit our local public pool in the city at least once
- Record small portions of family history on video with relatives
- Pick a Gotham FC game to attend in person
- Make beaded bracelets
- Cook dinner at our apartment for Steph (as she is usually the main cook in our house)
- Take a special photo with my grandmother at her birthday weekend
Trying to incorporate better daily habits back in to my routine. Here are a few to get me started:
- Do my stretching & strengthening routine
- Keep a book I want to read on my bedside table
- Call or text people I love
- Write my thoughts down more regularly
- Go for a 15 minute walk as often as I can
What is on your agenda for the stretch of sunshine that lies ahead? Would love to hear in the comments!
Xx,
Erin
