The Days Are (Finally) Getting Longer... Put That Extra Hour Of Sunlight To Good Use!
There are SO MANY ways to use these upcoming, longer days, and even something as simple (but meaningful) as staying out a little later or having a longer dinner with your family can be the perfect way to use your time. We’ve suggested a few of our favorites to share with you, today! *Be sure to check the link at the bottom of the page for a LONG list, full of more, great ideas!
1.Workout
*Make good on those New Years resolutions and get back on track with heating eating and working out!
Go for a hike, bike ride, a walk, or join a fun workout class like Zumba or another dance class!
2.Say, ‘Om’ with a yoga class
*Get in touch with your inner-self with some relaxing ways to stretch, breath, and improve your strength and flexibility.
3. Read
*Start that book you’ve been eyeing or tackle that stack of magazines you never have time for. Transplant yourself into a make-believe world for a while or read some fun or helpful articles out of a magazine!
4.Make some time for you!
*Go and get a massage or a manicure, take a bubble bath, or anything else that’s relaxing and rare that you have time for!
5.Plan a romantic evening for your significant other.
*Take some time to reconnect with the one your love! Make (or go out for) a delicious meal, rent a movie, spend time in a beautiful location, or anything else that lets you and your special someone, spend quality time together.
6.Catch up with a friend or family member
*It’s easy to let life get in the way of things like calling or FaceTiming the ones you love. Use that extra time to get in touch with someone you’ve been missing and see what’s going on in their life!
7.Volunteer for a charity you like.
*Giving your time to those in need is ALWAYS an incredibly wonderful and selfless way to dedicated an extra hour. Help walk dogs, visit with the elderly, raise money for an organization, or anything else that’s near and dear to your heart.
8.Clean and organize
*Tackle that overflowing pantry or your bedroom closet and donate anything you no longer need, to Goodwill. Clean out things that rarely get cleaned like the oven, fridge, or between those sofa cushions.
9.Garden!
*Now that the weather is starting to warm up, you’ll be able to spend more time outside, making good use of your green thumb! Plant some spring flowers or grow some veggies if you’re really talented! Herbs are a fabulous alternative to a vegetable garden if you’re a beginner!
10.Do a little feng shui
*Rearrange the furniture in any room. This is will put you in the mood to embrace a new season as you change your surroundings for a fresh new start! (Spring will be officially here, March 20)
11.Organize the family photos
*Go through all of those pics on your computer or phone. Delete any that you have duplicates of (too many selfies… or pics of your furry pals…) and organize them. Create albums on Facebook or just on your phone or computer and even get some printed. Scrapbook is another great way to spend some time and you can use those photos to add to your collection.
12.Do something creative
*Whether you’ve been letting one of your creative hobbies go because there isn’t enough time in the day OR if you’ve been wanting to take up a creative hobby, now's the time! The days are only going to get longer and Summer typically allows for more free time (especially if you’re a teacher), so it’s the perfect time to get that creative side of your brain moving.
Visit a local museum, knit, take a cooking class, etc and see how relaxing it can be!
