The other morning I was feeling a bit blah. So, I took myself to a pretty coffee shop, ordered a cappuccino, wrote in my journal … and after about 30 minutes, I felt like a new person. Isn’t it amazing how just a new location or doing something outside our usual routine can be so refreshing?
What do you like to do for yourself when you need a little something extra in your day? I’d love to hear your ideas! Here are a few more of mine:
*Getting in the car and driving without any plan at all, actually trying to get a bit lost! While driving, I love listening to my favorite music or an interesting or upbeat podcast.
*Getting in pajamas and climbing into bed, in the middle of the day! As I snuggle in, I listen to a sound bath (so many available for free on You Tube, my favorite is Irene Athanasiou). To me, this is the perfect remedy for stressful day.
*Taking a walk in a new neighborhood. I love walking and I love exploring cute neighborhoods.
*Browsing at a book shop. I love the thrill of walking through the stacks of books and the tactile joy just picking up whatever catches my eye.
*Making a vision board or a mood board. I love putting together visual ideas on Pinterest or in a photo album on my phone. I have albums for vacation ideas, outfits I want to copy, houses I love, decor that inspires me, and so many other things. The act of picking and choosing makes me happy.
Enough about me. What things do you do as a little self-care? Feel free to add your own ideas in comments if you feel so inclined. I’d love to get some new ideas!
About the blog: Fashion Should Be Fun is me talking to you, other middle aged women like me who are over 40, but not over fashion. We still want to look beautiful and stylish. We still want to have fun with trends. And we don’t need anyone giving us rules, because we’re all different. We all have our own shapes and bodies, parts we’d like to cover and parts we still don’t mind showing off a bit. This is a place for me to share my love of fashion with you, style ideas, tips, trends, and inspiration. I know how liking the way we look can translate into confidence and energy. I know we have so much life left to live and so much adventure ahead of us. Let’s show the world you’re never too old to have fun and be fierce!
