The last thing I did for fun was going out with my good friend from high school. I moved away soon after high school and remaining friends across 5000 kms is hard but I spoke to someone a few years ago that mentioned don’t hold on to the things you are missing but just hold to the parts that you still have.
So the part that we still have is no matter how long it has been we still laugh at everything. It used to be out playground shenanigans now it’s the funny things her kids say/do or just random work stuff.
We had some drinks, there’s a snake in the mix and a lot of dancing without that fear of “Am I weird?” that you get with new friends. With old friends it’s yes you’re weird and that is just fine and so it’s just more fun. I don’t know if that answered the question but the last thing I did for fun was hanging out with my old friend.
I’m at the start of the my latest solo travel that I am hoping to document in great detail, I am refining the things that I already know about travelling.
Get to the airport early so if you don’t have a transit visa or your bags are overweight you have time to adjust yourself
Always have some cash. We know there’s a war on cash and we can feel like it’s not relevant anymore but it is. Wether for tips or bribes if you are travelling in tip/bribe required places
Learn to pack light. I have not perfected this skill but it’s a good skill to have because it avoids a lot of the stress you may meet at the airport
Always I mean always have enough funds incase you need to change your ticket, stay in a hotel or if you see something you simply must buy
Don’t panic. I know it’s easier said than done but whatever situation you find yourself in panicking will not make that any better.
What are your favorite physical activities or exercises?
Walking is by far my favourite. It’s a mode of transportation, you can do it with your dog, friends or family. You can switch pace by running or you can increase intensity depending on the landscape and it’s generally free
Swimming. I love water and being in the water is always so relaxing to me. I also like the fact that there are different places you can swim and the experience is so unique in each from seawater swimming to warm chlorine water swimming, it’s all great.
Dancing. I’m not very good at it but it can be a lot of fun. All you need is the right amount of wine, level of music and the right people to encourage you.
I will give an honourable mention to strength training. It’s not my favourite but as I move deeper in my fitness journey I know that aerobics alone are not enough, you need a little weight so kettle bell for the win.
Yoga. It encompasses mindful movement of my body and relaxation of my mind. I used to have backache but yoga really helped me heal and it also helped me with my outlook on life. To quote Adriene Mishler and end this post “Find what feels good”
