Hey Pandas, Do You Have Any Great Ideas How To Make The Mundane Day To Day Life A Little Brighter?

Make an abstract painting. I have no art talent but painting without the pressure of making something specific feels creative. If you use canvas and you don't like the creation, either wash it off or paint over it. I buy paint brushes at Dollar Tree since I abuse the brushes.

If you want to feel accomplished organize something. (and say oh that's where that was) Sometimes when I organize something it feels like my life is more organized.

Get a pet.

Me and my roommate have started a little thing called cocktail Monday. Every Monday after work we make our selves cocktails. It really brightens up such an otherwise dull day.

Find little bugs and look at them :3

Bugs are super easy to find because they're everywhere! Even the teeny tiny bug that lands on your glasses

Take photos of them
give them little names
Become one with the bugs :3

Also Halloween movie month! Try to watch one halloween/horror movie every day for a month

I light a candle (okay, I hve the battery-operated ones) for each of my loved ones. it makes me feel like their warmth is near me.

I treat myself to a good hot soak in the bath a couple of times a week. Some nibbles, a glass of wine, music in the background and my kindle. No set day, just when I need to properly relax.

I have one I like to do on my day offs.
I like to make a "story corner" - it's like you put all your pillows in the corner of your bed, and get a blanket. - when it's done you put Netflix, YouTube, or Amazon prime on and you watch a movie. Any kind of movie. Or series.
Of course don't forget the snacks! They are super important.
It's turns my mind off for a good while.
Sometimes I get my hot water bottle too to put it on my stomach. Nothing special reason it's just feels great.
I know it's a bit shallow and it's not an idea which rocks anybody's works but just imagine how great it feels to for one day you don't have to do anything, just this.

Meditation. Just 10 minutes a day can make a difference. There are plenty of books out there, such as "Hurry Up and Meditate" by David Michie, which can introduce you to meditation and get you started in the practice.

1. Learn one random fact just ask Google for one random fun fact (often leads to a rabbit hole when I do it but I love it)

2. Do something very random and spontaneous, turn left not right, go to whatever movie just happens to be starting, go to a museum, take a walk, but crunchy peanut not creamy doesn't matter what random thing you do just surprise yourself

3. Clean sheets

Going out to find random water. Waterfalls, creeks, ponds, etc. Trails usually have this stuff in them.

If that doesn't work, put googly eyes on everything in your refrigerator. Or spend the day acting like you're in a soap opera: just dramatically stare out of a window.

Bake or make something to eat. The DEVOUR IT ALLLLLL.

Add googly eyes. That's it. Just keep some in your pocket/desk/car. Put them in random places to brighten up the world a bit.

Do little things that that you always wanted to as a kid. Example: get a box of Lucky Charms, and pick out all the marshmallows and eat them. It’s amazing how great it feels!

If you can afford it, buy yourself some flowers or a flowering plant. Even if it’s only an African violet (which come in a great range of varieties and are very easy to care for). Put them somewhere where you will see them, like at the kitchen sink or on your bedside table. Enjoy the simple beauty of nature without having to travel far or spend a lot of money.

Go outside. Pull some weeds. Dig in the dirt. Before you know it you’ve been getting fresh air, sunshine, and exercise.

Self-care with whatever calms you down or entertains you.

Eat cheese. That always makes me happy

I make fruit breads in mini loaves. I give them to those who seldom get thanked. In my case, I take it to pet smart groomers, nurses, and my local dispensery. I try to do 1 nice thing for someone else each day.

Every Saturday we're having brunch at our workplace. Everyone is bringing something to make it a feast. Cherish your coworkers! Work as a team! Stick together against higher management and rude customers or clients!
