When there is not much money left in the wallet, but the soul is tired of everyday life and longs for something unusual, it is worth turning to our imaginations and desires, which are time to come true.
We all love to have a good and pleasant time in one way or another. And then the long-awaited weekend looms on the horizon. Perhaps, those who have their own dacha or they can go to their parents and friends are lucky. What about those for whom the holidays have not yet been planned, and finances sing romances? The methods that I propose will allow you to choose different pastime options without investing large sums of money.
1. If you are an inquisitive person and generally have a tendency to develop, then this is a great opportunity to master something new or to realize your long-forgotten desire. Get from the bins of your memory what you have a soul for. Maybe it's satin stitching, or mastering some new computer program, or creating a stunning cake, the most beautiful stool in the world, an interesting story about worlds alien to us … Or maybe you've always dreamed of becoming a volunteer - a great opportunity to start right now.
2. A long weekend is a great excuse to have a marathon of watching family movies or reading interesting books, which very often do not reach your hands. If you have a loved one, this is a great opportunity to spend time together cuddling on your favorite couch. Children, too, will surely be pleased with your attention, which is often lacking in our hectic life. Let this weekend become a pleasant island of silence and unity for you with loved ones or with yourself.
3. If you prefer a slightly more active lifestyle, then you can always go outside and visit where you have never been before. Explore every nook and cranny of your favorite park, stroll around the part of the city you've never been to. In the end, in every, even our most native city, there is always such an attraction that you do not know about or you have never had enough time to get there. Also, no one canceled museums and exhibitions. Even a newly opened shopping center can also be a very interesting and rewarding place to be aware of. Search! Look for those places where your foot has never gone before.
4. Holidays and weekends are a great time to clean up the house and tackle the imperfections. Fix all the electrics in the house, wash the chandeliers, disassemble the rubble in the closets and finally sweep away the cobwebs from the corner, which annoy the eyes every day. Psychologists assure us that decluttering your home is great for refreshing our entire life. Why not make it a whole magical act?
5. Take photographs. Surely, here too, most of us have something to play up, sort out, systematize. At the same time, it will be a great time for memories, nostalgia. Perhaps you will want to share something with your friends, and hang something in a beautiful frame on the wall. If you are neat and all your photos are already in order, then why not arrange a new photo session? With friends or not, taking a selfie or calling for help from a good friend - the modern age gives us many opportunities to capture any of our moods.
6. For fans of a very active holiday, seasonal outdoor activities are well suited. In winter it can be a skating rink or skis - in any city there is an opportunity to find it all for rent for a fairly reasonable fee. When it's warm, you can just go for a barbecue with friends, or relax by swimming in the water. Cycling will also allow you to have a good time.
7. Romantics will certainly be happy to devote this time to each other. But not just watching movies, as described earlier, but coming up with new pleasant surprises for every day. Today you can have a romantic candlelight dinner, tomorrow you can take a bath with rose petals, spend the whole next day in bed: yes, yes, with breakfast, lunch and dinner. By the way, the same love can be shown simply to oneself, to children, parents, friends. Of course, the surprises will be different, but no less pleasant and memorable. The holiday weekend is a very good excuse to get closer to each other.
8. Write an autobiography. Draw or collage. In any case, it will turn out to be a very fascinating book about your life. And a lot of memories and reflections will help you stop for a moment and look at your whole life from the outside, find possible mistakes or rejoice in your successes and achievements.
9. Another option for long holidays is to devote them to goodness. Plant a tree, or go out into the nearest forest and take care of garbage collection, wash the walls in the stairwell, help an old neighbor to go to the store, sit with your friend's children so that she can go to a restaurant with her husband - all this does not require any money at all, but the benefits for your inner state will probably be very significant.
