Modern TV series have long since moved from the category of low-quality soap operas to something more, but this is no reason to become a hostage to filmmakers. Instead of watching the adventures of others, isn’t it time to create your own?
Spa Evening
You can relax without leaving your home not only by lying on the couch. It’s time to set up a spa salon at home! The list of procedures is limited only by your imagination – take care of the props in advance. We recommend buying several candles, bath bombs or salts, essential oils and massage oil. Also take a closer look at body scrubs – they are inexpensive, and, as a rule, smell great. In addition, they will help to cleanse the skin properly. Wraps, including chocolate, are also easy to do at home – everything you need is available in online stores. You will probably have a good cream, and a comfortable terry robe will not hurt, so that everything is like in the best spa salons!
Board games
The abundance of board games is amazing: there are so many formats and thematic branches that even convinced haters will find something to their taste. In addition, board games can gather the whole family at one table, and this is worth a lot. Just start – and before you know it, this fun way to spend time together will become a favorite family tradition for all generations.
Calling friends
Research shows that while text messages create the illusion of closeness, they consistently reduce relationship satisfaction. We suggest using letters only when it’s relevant. And practice more live, emotional conversations with loved ones — on the phone, in video format, and, of course, offline.
Reading
If books have been causing you negative associations since your school literature lessons, it’s time to visit a bookstore or library. We promise, you’ll definitely find the one with whom love at first sight will happen. According to research, reading fiction is one of the most effective ways to reduce stress. Some light novel will make you 68% more peaceful. Even music has a less impactful effect. And all because when you read, your mind literally transports you to fantasy worlds. It’s hard to worry about anything extraneous at this time.
Planning
Doesn’t sound too fun, does it? And yet, we suggest remembering that there is no harm in dreaming, and fantasizing properly. In the whirlwind of events, we often lose our bearings: we forget what we are striving for and what we want. Planning is a much more exciting activity than it seems. For example, you can plan an exciting trip in three years (if you think that this is an unattainable dream for you). Or buying the thing of your dreams. If there is a plan, everything will work out!
Education
Studying is traditionally considered a labor-intensive process. But it’s not just cramming textbooks! For example, if deep down you dream of opening a coffee shop, watch content from professional restaurateurs. Would you like to breed horses, but live in a one-room apartment? No problem, you can learn everything about your dream down to the smallest detail, without leaving your apartment. And the effect of such self-education will be noticeable not only to you, but also to your interlocutors. Expand your horizons with pleasure!
Hobby
From baking cakes and growing cacti to sculpting plaster and sewing, hobbies are so diverse these days that if you don’t have one, you simply don’t know about it. The feeling of being constantly busy and tired often leads to “rest” like watching TV. But a hobby, unlike TV, is also a constant development, and perhaps an additional source of income in the future.
Home photo session
It only seems that there is a huge gap between a professional photo studio and home, but once you get inspired by examples from the Internet, you will be unstoppable. And the shots do not have to be staged, after years, everyday moments often turn out to be memorable and valuable – why not capture them on an “ordinary” evening?
Easy workout
Professional athletes hardly perceive training as an opportunity to unwind, because they need to give it their all. Well, don’t tire yourself out with grueling exercises at night, take a closer look at those types that relax and calm you: for example, you can do yoga or stretching, the main thing is to enjoy it and not too late, so as not to perk up right before going to bed.
Wardrobe clearance
Home fashion week is too much, but it won’t hurt to set aside an evening to sort through your wardrobe. Don’t treat it like a chore, get inspired by fashion tips, create looks, change clothes endlessly, and send selfies to your knowledgeable friends. And you can post unwanted items on an online bulletin board.
