sing w/my parrot,join a choir, teach my grandchildren songs my mother taught me, hold hands, bake bread, just drive down a street you've never been on before to see where it goes, feel the sun on your face esp in winter, play w/a puppy
go to Border's, get a latte and look through all kinds of wonderful magazines and books; go to Trader Joe's and Mustard Seed Market; ZENTANGLE!; beading; walk the beach; play with my sweet dog
Clean out a drawer, find a garage sale, write a blog entry, try a new recipe, plan a theme party, read a really good book......(This is posted by Kim Gillenwater)
Finding a great book that you just can't put down, finding a great new restaurant, making a new friend, holding a baby, drawing, going to the movies and getting popcorn with extra butter, baking muffins, hugging my son, going to an art gallery, going to the beach or pool on a hot day.
Singing in the rain, old-fashioned board games, going to the symphony, playing Kazoos in a group, zipping fast on a zip-line, hiking to picturesque spot, writing funny off-beat poems.
Playing hide-n-seek, chasing little children around while they giggle, sledriding, making snow angels, building a snowman, coloring in a coloring book with crayons, singing loudly in the shower, rollerskating, bikeriding, drawing on the sidewalk with chalk.
Thanks, Kim -- I will get those on my list. Love the image of the at-home Yoga! I have 2 DVDs and a mat, but haven't tried them at home yet. But if I am going to laugh hysterically, that's a big incentive! Shakespeare at Stan Hywet -- that's enchanting!
Creating art journal entries. I journal on a background and add little doodles and pictures that pertain to the topic or not. Adding color and texture helps me feel expressed.
Another fun thing to do is have a Word of the Day exhange with a friend by e-mail.We send our word for the day with or without an explanation or response. I have been doing this for many months with a friend and it has been wonderful.
testing and adding one more wellness tool --

ReplyDeleteRebekkah Benner suggested -- come drumming with me on the edge of Virginia Kendall Ledges at sunset!
ReplyDeleteWear a pair of those glasses with the moustache on them as you drive in town. Let your passenger wear something similar.
ReplyDeleteAttend summer concerts, especially Howe Meadow, where people dance to the music.
See Shakespeare at Stan Hywet, and enjoy the bard.
Try an at-home yoga video, and end up laughing hysterically, while tied up in tangles.
