If you are like most people you get caught  up in trying to balance the many items on your to-do list and forget your own need for relaxation. In my opinion, most of the good things that make life wonderful are free or very low cost. I’m going to start with a list of 10 ideas and I will try to make this a series with another batch as I think of them. (Speaking of “batches”, homemade cookies come to mind…)

  1. Observe the stars in the night sky.
  2. Go to a thrift store and buy a novel.
  3. Sit on your porch and read the novel.
  4. Make yourself a hot cup of tea.
  5. Brew some coffee and savor the smell.
  6. Make sun tea.
  7. Go on a walk – take your dog if you have one.
  8. Go to a park and just enjoy nature.
  9. Watch the sun set.
  10. Take a nap.

Bonus: Rent a dollar movie and make some popcorn! Try to do the items on this list at least once every week. Can you think of other great ideas?
