Your 20s can often be filled with stress with life changing so quickly. Whether you stress about work, school, relationships or any combination of these, it can be a lot. Sometimes you just need to take a day away from other people and focus on you. You might think it’s weird to spend time alone, but sometimes it’s exactly what you need. So treat yo self!
1. A museum
Art, history, you name it. Museums are a great place to relax and see where your mind wanders.
2. Explore!
Go somewhere you’ve never been before. Try that new restaurant, walk down that new trail, go into that new store!
3. Cook yourself your favorite dinner of guilty pleasure foods
Most of us worry about our weight at one time or another. Spend one night not worrying! It won’t hurt. Trust me. Grab a cook book, and make yourself your favorite meal! Or try something new that sounds equally delicious.
4. No technology day
Go the whole day without your phone and laptop. It may surprise you how freeing it feels.
5. Go people watching… or talk to them!
Find a nice spot in at a park or at a coffee shop and see what you observe from others. Or if you’re more daring, spend the whole day trying to talk to strangers. Who knows? You might end up making a new best friend.
6. Read a good book
Find your favorite quiet place, and just read! If you need help finding a book, take a chance and explore a library or book store.
7. Go to a thrift store
Instead of the typical stores you shop at, explore a local thrift shop. Try things on you would never see yourself wearing. Find yourself some deals!
8. Never leave the house… or never come back
Depending on if you spend too much time at home or too much time out and about, spend the whole day indoors, or the whole day outdoors. Switch things up and challenge yourself.
9. Treat yo self shopping
You can afford those shoes. Buy yourself a nice dress while you’re at it. You worked hard for that money.
10. Dress how you want
Spend the whole day in no makeup and sweatpants. Or get yourself all dolled up if that’s what you enjoy!
11. Take a road trip
Plan a day trip to somewhere of your choosing. Or just drive and see where the road takes you.
12. Have a dance party in your room
Blast your favorite songs and dance and sing like no one is watching – because no one is!
13. Go to a pet store and pet the animals
Dogs and cats are better than people.
14. Try and spend a day doing as many new things as you can
This one is simple. If you’ve never done it before, do it!
15. Sign up for a class
Learn something new. Try yoga, painting or even a new subject you didn’t get a chance to study.
16. Have a picnic
Grab a blanket, your favorite food and a nice grassy spot outside.
17. Give yourself a makeover
Go to a spa, put on makeup or get that haircut you’ve always been afraid to get. You deserve it.
18. Crafting!
This is your chance to utilize all those Pinterest ideas. Make a scrapbook, a canvas or a new decoration for your room!
19. Go stargazing
If the night is clear, lay out and watch the stars.
20. Pull an all-nighter and see what happens
This may sound crazy, but try it! You may find yourself doing something creative, finishing that Netflix series, or just doing something you never had time for in the day.
