- Go On A Walk
We spend a lot of time seated behind our desks that going on a walk seems thrilling. However, this kind of walk isn’t just the physical act of moving. It’s a way of reflecting, gathering your thoughts and clearing your head. Additionally, it’s important to take some time off everything and soak in some sun. You can even use your morning commute to your advantage if you don’t get enough me time. Forests are also great for walks as they are both scenic and peaceful.

- Explore The City
The city bares hidden gems waiting to be discovered. So, if you’re into discovering new places, this would be an ideal me-time activity. Keeping yourself on the go will make it seem like an adventure. Create a list of places you want to discover from Google maps and make it some sort of treasure hunt. This will help you find new places to try out some of your favourite things next time you want to indulge. Additionally, you will feel rewarded for discovering these gems.
- Splurge On Yourself
Often times, people deny themselves pleasure in the name of saving. Spending money doesn’t qualify as “fun” to most people but nobody regrets dining at a 5-star restaurant or visiting a park. Take a day off and spend money on life experiences rather than shopping. Not only will you be creating lasting memories but also tick off some things on your bucket list while spending quality me-time. They say, “life is short, take that trip.”
