Get a massage (that’s a monthly thing)
Bake some bread
Walk around the neighborhood and look at the Christmas lights
Growing up in a very Jewish NYC neighborhood where everyone (including us) had an electric Menorah in the window, we would pile into the car and drive to other neighborhoods in order to see Christmas lights. It was a favorite holiday treat.
I am going to yoga Thanksgiving morning with a friend. I have not been to yoga in ages.
I continue to walk the dog every morning before work and usually meditate too.
I started playing the piano again. Just exercises but it’s a wonderful way to exercise a different part of the brain and work on my struggle with focus.
This is a great list. Let us know how the yoga goes.
Well I already did the 80 minute hot stone massage and I swear this time, the “high” I got from it lasted three days. It didn’t even wear off the Monday back at work. It was awesome! I also plan to do more yoga and to chill out and watch more movies.
What movie are you most excited to see?
