That 2 weeks can seem an eternity so here are some ideas to make the time pass more quickly.
- throw yourself into work
- meet up with friends for lunch, or even better shopping and lunch
- book a pamper session for yourself-manicure, facial,eyebrows etc
- read a good chick lit novel or two-pure escapism-make sure its nothing to do with babies though-good raunchy fun is best
- read a magazine you would not normally buy-something escapist-whatever takes your fancy !
- watch some good chick flicks either with your significant other or with a girlfriend
- take up a new hobby
- get your haircut-maybe try a new style
- catch up on those things you have been putting off for ages
- consider getting a massage or trying an alternative therapy
- do things that relax you and recharge your batteries
- watch comedy shows on TV or dvd-laughter really is the best medicine
- have some fun-what do you love to do ?
- buy yourself some flowers or pick some from the garden-fresh flowers always lift the spirits
- maybe have a weekend away-visit friends or family (only if this is fun mind !)
- cook yourself some good wholesome food-eat plenty of fresh and colourful fruit and veg
- get out in the fresh air-sunshine and fresh air are great for our minds and bodies
- try to focus on the great things in your life
- appreciate the little things others do for you
- join an online support group for friendship and chat
- listen to an audiobook on positive thinking /living-they can be very inspiring
- go on a date with your significant other and talk about happy times and plan for the future
- start a blog or journal
This is just a few ideas that I have found helpful when the going gets tough. If you have any please feel free to post them in comments
