1 – If you have a yard, sit outside on a comfortable chair to read a good book. If you don’t have a yard, take a blanket to your nearest park and don’t forget to add a picnic.
2 – If you have dogs, take them out for a walk or a hike to a place you’ve never been to. Make this an event for both you and your animals as you discover new streets and parks. Enjoy you dogs’ happiness.
3 – Invite friends for dinner. Make it a pot luck so you don’t get stuck in the kitchen.
4 – Get a massage. Always a great way to distress.
5 - If you have kids, a picnic at a park, beach or your own back yard is always fun
6 - If you have a partner, time to set time aside for each other. What about a massage or a glass of wine? What about just kissing? Remember how the first kiss was full of emotions? Give yourself and your partner time to kiss. And don’t forget to be present.
7 – If you enjoy cooking, go to the market, plan a really great meal and invite a few of your very close friends.
8 – Go for a drive. If you live near the beach or the mountains, this is a perfect way to distress. Driving also has the psychological benefit of making us feel like we’re moving forward. Of course make sure to pick a route you won’t get caught in traffic.
9 – What about horseback riding?
10 – Do you have potted plants? Could they use repotting? Do you have a garden?
