With much of the country under (some amount of) snow, I’m declaring today a snow day!! Yes, I know. With everything going on with COVID, snow days {for many of us} are a thing of the past. We can now dial in and work remotely and all the good stuff… BUT – just because you can work from home all day, every day doesn’t mean you always should.
Above is a view from my porch this morning. What you don’t see in the picture is the sheet of ice under the snow {because it was 40 and raining last night), the blistering winds, or the below 0 windchills…conditions like this make me very happy to not have to leave the house.
And, here’s a view from inside, on my sofa. Feet up, the warmest {and ugliest} blanket I own, a hot cup of coffee, fire blazing, and some of the best {and worst} reading material I could find. Oh, and we can’t forget I’m also wrapped up in my ‘purple people sleeper’ – my footed, hooded onesie!
I intend to spend a large chunk of my day right here – staying warm and sedentary. This sounds like the perfect ‘bonus day’ to me!
What do you like to do with your ‘extra bonus days’? I really like to spend at least a portion of the day having some ‘me time’…it just seems like a wonderfully sudden luxury that I have to take advantage of. Here are a few self-care ideas if you’re looking for something to spark your interest: 😉
- Read a book
- Play a board or card game
- Rest {or nap}
- Find a new podcast
- Phone a friend {or text or write}
- Write-a letter or in your journal
- Build a snowman
- Make snow angels
- Go sledding
- Take a bubble bath
- Bake or cook
- ‘Clean up’ your social media
- Learn something new
- Meditate or Pray
- Light a candle
- Binge/catch up on your favorite show
- Watch your all-time go-to movie
- Do some online retail therapy
- Organize one {small} area of your home
- Create-draw, paint, write, sew
- Pick back up a 1/2 finished project
- Play Candy Crush or another mindless game
- Look through old pictures
- Build Legos
- NOTHING!!
Self Care and taking some ‘You Time’ is really whatever you want it to be! Find something that fills your cup and soothes your soul and spend even just a few minutes doing that! There’s really no right way to take care of yourself 🥰
I would absolutely love to hear how you’re spending your snow day!! Come on over to Instagram and leave a message on what you’re doing just for you today!
