Hello everyone!
As we all know, free time is precious. We all lead very busy lives, hence it is very important to relax and have some fun during our free time. The worst thing you can do is waste your free time, and later regret that you didn't do anything that makes you feel happy, excited, or relaxed. This is the reason why I like to diversify what I do in my free time. Every day is an opportunity to do something different or try a new activity. I think this is definitely a good way to look forward and to start living your 2023 in this way. You will feel more accomplished and fulfilled even in your free time.
These are some ideas for when you can't think of what to do in your time off.
Exercise
It may seem like an obvious choice, but many people tend to forget how important exercise is for your physical and mental health. Completely neglecting exercise can lead to so many problems, hence it's best to prevent it. My exercise of choice is usually yoga or taking a long walk, but it can be literally anything. Moving your body even 30 minutes per day can make a huge difference! This is especially important if you have a job which requires a lot of sitting, like I do.
Online games
Online games can be such a fun activity to occasionally do in your free time! There are numerous games you can find online and play, depending on what you're interested in. If you have kids, it might be a great idea to include them as well, especially if the games are also educational. On the other hand, you can play online games with your friends as well, which makes it extra fun. I recently came across a few fun and educational games I have been playing, and I'd like to share them as suggestions for you.
The game called Idle Money Tree caught my attention because it's so simple and self-explanatory. It makes it the perfect indoor activity for when you're done with work and maybe the weather is horrible outside. You don't have to think too much about solving complicated problems in this game, which is great after a long day at work or school. Still, it will keep your mind awake and test your speed and reflexes.
Sort the trash is an environmental game that teaches you which items are recyclable and which are not. You have to catch the trash that can be recycled in your bin, and let the other trash pass by. This would be an amazing game to teach your kids about recycling, while also making it fun!
Spending time with friends
For me, this is the best way to recharge my energy. Nothing is better than being surrounded by people you care about and who care about you and just spend quality time with them. Laughing can cure a lot of sadness and depression, and your friends will most likely always be happy to help with that. Whether you organize a special activity with your friends, or you just have a coffee, hang out, and talk, spending time with friends is one of the best fun activities for your free time.
Get creative
There are so many ways you can explore your creativity. Creativity is good for mind, body and soul, so I would definitely recommend exploring it as a fun activity in your free time. Personally, I love photography, so I spend a lot of time taking and editing photos. I also enjoy drawing/sketching so sometimes I do a bit of that in my free time as well. Whether it's drawing, writing, taking photos, filming videos, taking up a painting class, or anything else, find your creative bone and it will bring out the positive vibes!
