The year 2020 is finally coming to a close and everyone deserves to take a deep collective breath (hopefully with masks on if around others) and pamper themselves. Here are six ways to kick back and relax before or after New Year’s Day. Go ahead, you deserve it!
Clean your living space
While this suggestion may seem like a chore, if you take the time to clean your living space, you will feel more productive and put together. If you cannot do an entire clean sweep of a room, just do it a little bit at a time.
Try to find things in these spaces that bring back memories. This is also a great time to get rid of some negative memories tied to items. It is a new year, time to get rid of the stuffed animal your highschool sweetheart turned ex gave you. Trust me, it is truly worth it.
Take a bubble bath
This suggestion speaks for itself. There is something about making time for yourself to soak in the tub with great smelling candles lit around you. If you want to spice things up, find a way to watch a show in the tub (be careful not to mix electronics and water) or grab a book to enjoy while you pamper yourself.
Have a movie marathon
While it is the holiday season, please do not think this movie marathon has to be holiday-themed. However, if you are looking for some good old fashioned holiday movies, be my guest! Find movies that bring you happiness and watch them all in one go. Stock up on snacks and drinks to make it all special.
Bake a delicious treat
Not quite a baker? That is alright! Search on Pinterest for the craziest recipe you can find and try it out. It does not have to be perfect, but sometimes it is the little flaws in cooking that make the time fun. Also, if it comes out perfect, you do not have to share it with anyone. Treat yourself with your homemade treat. You deserve it!
Create something artistic (even if you are not)
I personally fall into the category of wanting to be creative and artistic, but I do not quite fit within it. No worries, there truly is something about creating art and not being the best at it.
If someone says that your piece is not actually art, remind them that art is subjective and they clearly do not understand the piece. I encourage you to try it out and get those creative juices flowing!
Shopping therapy
The holiday season may be coming to an end, but if you still have some items you were hoping Santa would bring and did not, consider doing some online shopping. Nothing says Happy New Year’s more than the Amazon delivery person dropping off exactly what you wanted.
