10. Write a letter to your future self

This one was inspired by this year’s Language arts teacher. She had me write a letter to my self about goals and school and everything, but I ended up loving the exercise and pouring my soul into it. I loved it and will post my letter if you want to read it. Stating your goals, your ambitions, what you feel is like a blog post or a journal entry, but I think the fun in it is re-reading it after a long time to see how things have changed, how much you’ve grown. It’s therapeutic and I left the experience feeling relaxed if emotionally vulnerable, the way I always do when I spread my heart out in words. I suggest writing about your fears and ambitions and things you love. To write them down is to make them more tangible, making the fears easier to face, the ambitions easier to reach, the loves easier to hold on to.

11. Read a book without even looking at the title.

This may sound crazy, but sometimes favorite things are born out of taking a chance. Books are so hard to judge by whats on the outside, so don’t let that bias you and just jump in.

12.Make a spur-of-the-moment dessert.

Use what you have in the house, find an easy recipe and get cooking! Being spontaneous is fun and invigorating and all this costs you is time. Plus dessert is fabulous and delicious! Baking is relaxing, and has great end results. So, why are you still reading this? I’m expecting cookies to be in progress!

For now, let them eat …cookies!
