This August, promise not to limit yourself and get out of that comfort zone! If there’s a right time to try something new, it’s now! Dive deep and explore facets of your life and self that’ll help you reflect and grow.
If you’re wondering where to start, we’re here to help with a specially-curated list of things you can try this month.
1. Pen Your Thoughts
In the everyday bustle of our lives, we fail to get in touch with how we feel. How does starting your journal sound? Journals are a great way to put your thoughts into words, making you feel a lot lighter and having something to look back at and reflect on. All you have to do is spend a few minutes a day filling in your thoughts and feelings but remember; it’s essential to maintain consistency. Routine is critical when it comes to journaling!
2. Try A New Cuisine!
Good food, in general, is a big mood-lifter! Therefore, it’s no surprise that trying out new cuisines can instantly make you feel better and also bring an exciting new perspective to life! An integral part of exploring new cuisines is diving into the ways of various cultures and communities, making it more than just food. Making it a learning experience that opens the windows of your mind.
Going out isn’t the only way to explore the world’s cuisines. You can also indulge in cooking various cuisines. Cooking is highly therapeutic and also a great quality time with oneself!
3. Try Your Hands At Gardening
Another activity widely considered therapeutic is Gardening, as spending time with nature brings out the best in most! However, this requires a lot of investment regarding time and energy, so it’s essential to ensure you get into it only if you’re willing to keep up the interest. Suppose you’re not in the mind space for that. In that case, you can look at options from the cactus family that require lesser maintenance and, subsequently, more of your time. All said and done, plants bring in a sense of positivity and good vibrations that can be life-transforming!
4. Develop The Habit Of Reading
Whether you’re a reader or not, books have a quality that can transport you into a world of your choice, which can be extremely helpful when you’re stuck in the monotony of daily chores—wondering what to buy this August? Try to get your hands on the favourite book that you have wanted to read for so long. After a tiring day, this might seem next to possible but try sincerely dedicating 30 minutes or 1 hour of your day only for Reading.
Reading can help you explore a new world; this is nothing less than meditation. Start your routine with simple novels and the ones that interest you the most. Aim to read 15 pages a day and slowly increase it. In starting, it might feel a little difficult, but gradually you will get the hang of it. Reading is known as the key that can make you more empathetic and also helps to stimulate your imagination.
5. Try A Skincare Routine
