7. Go shopping and get yourself that outfit you have been wanting. If you don't want anything in particular, browse around and see if something catches your eye. A new purse? A new hat? Perfume? Anything that you fancy. I love to buy different kinds of socks with decorations on them like flowers, butterflies, and stripes.
8. Bake something sweet. Don't have enough time with baking something 100% homemade? Not a problem. Most mixes in the stores take 15-20 minutes. Try brownies.
9. Make yourself dinner, or order out. Put on the television to a good show, sit on the couch and eat your dinner with a nice drink.
10. If you have a lunch break, invite a friend or your significant other to join you.
11. Relax your eyes by putting an eye gel under your eyes, then close your eyes, lay back and relax for 20 minutes. If your eyes are very tired or puffy, try using an eye mask. I have the one where you keep it in the fridge. Very calming.
12. Exercise- go for a walk around the beach or do 20 minutes of another aerobic exercise. If you have any type of health condition and unsure if you can do certain activities, please consult with your physician first.
MEN
Men can do the same activities as the women, except maybe painting your nails. :) These activities take less than hour.
1. Take a nice long hot shower or bath. If you don't like bubbles, try aromatherapy salts and oils. They work just as well. Turn off the lights, rest your head on a bath pillow, and let the day happenings drift away.
2. Read a book or magazine. I have found that reading the Bible when I am feeling down has helped tremendously. Read what interests you, as we are all of different religions and ethnic backgrounds.
3. Rent your favorite movie. Comedies are great because laughing is great for the soul. My personal favorites are animals movies, such as Babe or Otis and Milo. But, you men might prefer a good western. John Wayne is my all time favorite!
