Communicate with Nature
We all have a park nearby, whether it be a local city garden, neighborhood community park or our personal garden. The nice thing about parks, regardless of their size, is that they appeal to all kinds of people. Sporty types may want to take advantage of jogging running etc or on a chilling note we can chit chat while doing walks. And lazy homebodies can relax against a tree to catch up on some reading, or do a little people watching.

When was the last time you went to your local library ?Do we even know that we have a local library in almost all the areas? Libraries are one of the best resources in your town, especially if you are looking for something to do that’s free. It just feels too good to be true!

So much learning, de stressing and all that for free…

Cook a nice meal
If you want to do something active, but not too active. There are plenty of things to do around the house, but none much nicer than making a real dinner. Spend the day experimenting with a new recipe, or whipping up your favorite comfort food ,learning to make a cocktail or mocktail if you are fond of fancy drinks. Then sit down at your table and eat like a fine dinning experience.
Baking is another art which is very under explored. Baking your own breads dinner rolls is extremely easy( more than we all know) and yet so satisfying.
