Braided River

Give something away.

Pass on a treasured keepsake or take something out of storage and gift it to someone who will make good use of it.

Take a moment’s silence (or more).

A glass of red wine in front of a roaring fire, a long hot soak in the bath or read a chapter of that book you started.

Find the joy in little things.

The first bloom of spring, the thoughtfulness of others or the pleasure of a hug.

Be a little naughty.

Hit the snooze button, lick the bowl, take the elevator and choose the most expensive lipstick.

Start something.

Play the guitar, bungee jump, learn to fly, go for a walk.

Step out.

Opera, rock concert, dinner and a movie.

Treat yourself to something fabulously tasty.

Delicious little morsels of your favourite cheese or a decadent feast with candles and music.

Get pampered.

Massage, manicure, pedicure, facial, sauna.

Make a connection.

Get in touch with someone you haven’t heard from recently.

Play.

Pull out an old board game, go to the park and sit in a swing, head down to the tennis courts

Try something new.

A new food, a new store, a new author, a new hairdresser, a new vintage or variety.

Write a journal.

A collection of thoughts, events, poems, pictures, inspirations and anecdotes.

Take a holiday.

Enjoy the change of scenery, explore and let someone else worry about making the bed.

Rekindle an old love.

Play a song from your favourite band as a teenager, go for a joy ride down to the beach, make-out.
