OFFLINE FOR A FEW DAYS...

When was the last time you disconnected from the ‘digital world’? When was the last time you were offline for a few days? Despite the fact that I work in the media industry and that I adore blogs and the online world, sometimes I really like to disconnect from everything.

Especially when I`m on vacation…I walk barefoot, explore the beauty of the nature around me, I read a book, lie around or do some gardening… just enjoying my time. After that I feel more energized and rested. 

I have noticed that sometimes I find it very difficult to do nothing.  And I feel guilty if I don`t do this or that. I always put so much on my ‘to-do-list’, but I`m changing this…

I prioritize things, I ask for help when I have various obligations, my to-do list is getting smaller and I now enjoy my free time. 

So try sometimes to just walk around on a sunny day, read magazines or books, go for a swim, watch a movie, treat yourself to a home spa - try to do nothing. And when on vacation – be offline!

A DAY JUST FOR ME!




When was the last time that you organize one day just for you? Only for you, your mental and body health. When was the last time that you took break from your work, all responsibilities and things that need to be done? Did you ever spend one day just with you?

I challenge you to try it! And here are some things that you can try out during that special day:

GET ENOUGH SLEEP
In this crazy world I have noticed that lots of people around me don`t get enough sleep and they are constantly tired. That is not good for health, for your look and for your work. So, sleep, sleep, sleep and get up feeling fresh.



YOUR MORNING RITUAL
I have already wrote about importance of morning rituals that make your every day more beautiful. So, enjoy your morning coffee, juice and health breakfast. Do some stretching or morning jogging. Or read magazine, whatever makes you comfortable.





DISCONNECT FROM WORK 
Here is everything clear :)

READ
Read all that interesting blogs that you 'saved for later', articles, online-magazines... Look for interesting sites, read all that things that you put in bookmarks because you did not have time.

MAKE A HEALTHY MEAL OR GO TO A RESTAURANT
Try that healthy recipe that you find delicious... You can invite your friend for a lunch. Glass of good wine with a person that make you smile - priceless.

GET A MASSAGE
How many times you decided: This month I`m going on a massage! This time, arrange a massage for this special day. Massage provides relief from back pain. It reduces stress, improve circulation, boosts immune system and, in general, improve quality of your life. You deserve it!


DO SOMETHING CREATIVE
Write a blog, decorate your working space, clean and arrange everything on your computer, make a collage of your favorite photographs, buy some flowers and put it around the house, write a letter to a good friend who lies far away, send a postcards to your friends (they really don`t expect it), all that concert tickets and dear memories put on a big paper and put it on the wall, call your aunt or grandmother and talk with them, explore what`s new in your city like exhibitions, new café bars etc..... do whatever you want!

WATCH MOVIES OR SERIES
You probably have the list...

 
TREAT YOURSELF
Let your bathroom become your private spa! Make your own scrub: homemade olive oil with sugar - and scrub your body, from your toes to your face. That`s my favorite one and skin after that is soooo soft and beautiful. You can also put some scented candles and just enjoy warm bath, put mask on your face, or you can do your nails...

And in the and.... go to bed earlier...
