Ever heard that saying, "Keep It Simple Stupid?" No, I am not calling you stupid. Sometimes you just have to keep things simple though, wouldn't you agree? These days it seems that life is becoming more and more complicated with the rapid technological developments that we face on a daily basis, the news reports of violence and tragedies, and the constant reminders of economic issues that we're facing. I don't know about you, but sometimes I just feel the need to get away from it all. Just take a break from the daily grind and escape into some sort of fun or relaxing activity. There are endless possibilities of what you can do to give your mind and/or body a break. At times you just need to "check out" so to speak to preserve energy and refuel your body and mind. If you use your imagination, you may come up with some ideas that you never even considered before. Think Five Year Old Child. Think Vacation. Think Daydreams. Here's a list of possible activities that you can do. Of course they are not all going to be a good fit for you, but this is just something to get you started. I would love to hear what you like to do to relax and unwind, or what you have been wanting to do. Then, no more excuses, go out and do it! Please share your suggestions in the comments box below!
