Having some downtime and freeing your mind from the stresses and strains of everyday life (whether at work or at home)certainly is a must for your physical health and mental welfare.
It is therefore extremely important that you put some time aside to do other activities and hobbies and on a regular basis. If possible,it should be at least once a week to reap the greatest benefits. If you are feeling more limited in your choice of activites due to the cold and dark winter mights, read on for a guide on how to occupy yourself before the summer arrives.
Have some ‘me’ time
Drawing up a weekly schedule to make sure that you have some ‘me’ time could be the way forward. You will, however, have to make sure that your ‘me’ time is not compromised in any way by being strict with yourself and your social life.
You may wonder what it is that you can do that will take an hour, two hours or even a whole evening on your own that would be worth the effort and the discomfort of turning friends and family away for that particular time. However, once you are into the routine, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it.
You could have a full–on pamper evening by yourself: run yourself a nice bath, get your scented candles out, put some relaxing music on and just let your mind drift.
You could watch that movie that you have always wanted to watch or even play an online game. There are lots of adult online games that you can play, and you do not need a computer to play them either – just your mobile phone. Trying out some of the new casino sites for UK players could be an activity that you trulyenjoy and will provide you with plenty of relaxation in the process.
Start a side hustle
There are many reasons why people start up their own side hustles in their spare time. It could be that they want a bit extra bit of money so that they can afford that dream holiday or new car, or even just to make the bills easier to pay. It could be that they need an acitivity to focus their mind on that isn’t their usual day job and ticks their hobby box; or it could be that they are so unhappy in their job that they are looking for a way that they can be financially self-reliant and therefore be able to hand in their notice without the worry of having to get another job.
There is also a wide choice of side hustles that you can take up depending on how much knowledge you have and how much time you want to spend going through the motions. Side hustles can be anything from attending regular car boot sales, selling your unwanted items and buying in others so that you can sell them for a marked-up price.
If this sounds good, you can take it to the next level and run an eBay store or list on Facebook Marketplace to name just a few locations. If you are more of a computer geek, there are optionssuch as affiliate links or blog pages; or if you like the idea of social media, then there is always the option of setting yourself up as an ‘influencer’.
