Things to do

MelT2020

I've been struggling lately on what to do with my life since I no longer have a caregiver role. I decided to write a list of hobbies and things I like to do as a reminder to myself. I encourage you to create your own list of likes/hobbies/or things you'd like to try. 


Here's a few of my things:


Going to the beach


Trying new restaurants


Making lists/planning for the future 


Road trips


Thrifting


Handwritten Christmas Cards to old friends 


Visiting various parks


5k charity walks


Trying new lattes (since 1998)


Following politics 


Shopping/overspending 


Keeping my eyes open for "the one" (whether it's a new friend or potential love)

love that list. shopping/overspending up to a limit for me. hehehe Thrifting my favourite. In 20 years since my divorce, I have always bought thrift store clothes. I wear brand name clothes and have brand name purses too. hehehe Go out there, grab life by the horns and swing it. Hugs my friend

I agree with you and it is a transition from caregiver to individual giving care to ourselves.

Be careful about following politics and try to also notice or read or watch "the other side." Because that is the only way to find the lies and they all lie.

I had to create new hobbies. I am limited by my chronic pain and OA. Here is my list.

Gardening (this year in the drought has been depressing)
Reading books that are fiction and non fiction and make me think
Walking the 10-15 minutes in the early morning up and down my street, all I can do now
Putting more joy into my house, bright colors of things, and noticing small joys in daily life and anywhere I go

Learning again how to care for yourself first and foremost. Not a hobby but kind of necessary.
