Exercise Your Creativity- We understand exercising our bodies and minds, but somehow once we get past the age of ten, we start paying less attention to our creative muscles.
Introduce More Color In Your Daily Life- Somehow color and whimsy can make even the most mundane task a lot more fun.
Analyze That Purse Chaos- What kind of baggage are you carrying around?
What’s In Your Empty or Not So Empty Nest?- It’s a question we should ask ourselves as we rebuild our nests and make room for our own dreams.
Go from Working Full Time to Living Full Time- As you begin navigating retirement options, consider how you can creatively spend your next 30, 40, or 50 years.
Park it; Plant it; Pedal it; Preserve it!- Try parking your car and pedaling to your destination once in a while. It’s a fun way to help protect our planet.
Beauty and the Beach- Escape your incessant to-do lists by going to on a beach retreat. The beach offers a place of acceptance and equality regardless of size, age, income level, and even species.
Take Yourself Out on a Date- a shopping expedition, museum outing, a favorite activity to pamper your passions, and it should be done alone. It’s amazing how little time we spend by ourselves.
Diet in Color- Oranges, yellow squash, red peppers, purple pomegranates. All this rich beautiful color costs the dieter 0 points in the Weight Watchers World.
Try Taking Mini-Adventures- Adventures don’t have to be big and bold. They come in many sizes and help us feel young all over again.
I have tried being obnoxious and very hard to live with in hopes of getting him out of the house and my hair, but that didn't work, lol..
Yes, consult a lawyer, and ask the lawyer if its legal to have a keylogger installed onto your husbands computer to verify or not that he has porn on it. It might be useful when the divorce comes up...
Hey, we need all the ammunition we can get a
I know just what you mean, Flower Bear. I try to limit processed foods altogether but I really need a convenient way to control my calories at lunch and the frozen bags and boxes just work for me.
I will try the one you recommended. Thanks for sha
Consult a divorce attorney and have them calculate exactly what your position post divorce would be. If you are willing to accept a smaller home by forcing the sale of the existing one, would that work? Surely better to get him out of your hair. D
Good tips. Also beige does not look good with my coloring!
Great list! Too often we skip right by these simple, yet effective life enhancing strategies. I live 15 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico… what’s my excuse for not going more often?! Thank you for the nudge!
Two words… love this!
Would love to hear about people’s mini adventures. I’m always looking for new ideas. One of the best I had was a simple picnic in the mountains with my sweetie to look at the autumn leaves. He, being an urban guy and not much on “nature” thought I was nuts. But he loved it. Glad we made the time to do it.
Excellent tips. My tip: attend TEDx events in your area. You always meet very diverse people, enthusiastic, curious, friendly, smart. Start thinking about your giving your own TED Talk.
http:ted.com. Go to TEDx and search for events in your neck of the wood.
Enjoy!
Great suggestions! Will ditto Yolanthe’s comment about TED Talk. Adding this thought…. TALK YOURSELF! Talk to people you meet in even mundane places. It is amazing the connections you find and new friends you make, turning idle moments into mini adventures.
Great tips! I love the dieting in color. I guess I should trade in my different colored tootsie rolls and try the healthier option. I really enjoy the positive attitude and proactive suggestions. Thank you!
