Get a mani-pedi or massage Get a haircut or blowout Buy yourself fresh flowers or pick up a beautiful house plant Sign up for a monthly subscription box to treat yourself Prepare a decadent meal with fresh, organic ingredients...don't forget the dessert Cook dinner for a few friends (or cook together); try a new dish Find a new scent (candles, perfumes, hair products) Rub an essential oil on your palms and inhale; burn an essential oil diffuser or drop some essential oil in with your laundry Take a mid-day nap; meditate Wrap yourself in soft and decadent fabrics: silks, cashmere blankets Go see a romantic, foreign film at a theater Meet friends at karaoke (singing in groups releases oxytocin...seriously!) Wander through a special exhibit, pop-up boutique, or bookstore Go to a concert or dancing Call a friend to catch up while you're walking through beautiful scenery—or talk a walk together! Try on new clothes, even ones you can't afford (YET!) Go with friends and choose clothes for each other Take a long, bubble bath or go to a Korean spa with friends Cuddle a pet, hug friends, hold hands with your sweetie Make a mug of your favorite hot drink and write in your journal—or bring a book to a beautiful café | Pick a nearby errand and use it as an excuse to go on a walk—get moving! Walk around a totally new neighborhood; take your pet to a dog park in a new area. Put on a danceable playlist and see how long it takes for you to get off the couch Organize/seasonalize your closet Do housework while listening to a podcast or some high-energy beats Go to karaoke—and belt out that anger! Or, go for a drive and sing at the top of your lungs while listening to the stereo Go play! Go-cart, video games, laser tag, experience rooms, batting cages, rock-climbing gyms Do yard work: rake leaves (and feel free to jump in the pile), do outdoor planting Go for a solo walk or run Take a vigorous cardio class, like kickboxing, spin or martial arts; swim laps Get hot and sweaty on the dance floor (the more crowded, the better) Write an angry letter and burn it ceremonially Detox negative-vibe items from your home (that ex's tee shirt, the gift from the frenemy who betrayed you...bye!) Post an auto-responder, put your phone on airplane mode and go on a digital detox (read: enjoy an interruptions-free day) Take yourself on an adventurous solocation, for a day or even a week! Go have dinner by yourself at a restaurant or take yourself on a a date, challenging yourself to enjoy your own company Practice saying no to requests for a day, without giving any reason and without apologizing. "No." is a complete sentence. |
