I need some ideas for improving my life

28 replies

Im leaving my job for a "break". I am burnt out and not enjoying life anymore and extremely fortunate to be able to leave my toxic work to just concentrate on myself for a bit.

I really want to use this time to improve my life and instill some good habits. I gave the following ideas so far.

  • healthy body - exercise
  • go outdoors more - walks
  • eat more healthy
  • learn to draw
  • get house organised
  • plan fun things to do with kids
  • volunteer
  • cooking / cleaning routine
  • style makeover
  • improve skin

I'm sure there's other things I can add. I'm looking for any ideas that people would add to their own list which I may have not have thought of.

@FollowYourOwnNorthStar - I would love to know some of your salad recipes. I really struggle to eat healthily at lunch time. Quick, non-fiddly salad recipes would be amazing. Do you have any links you could share please?

Have a pyjama day on a regular basis

I like the pyjama day idea!

And also:

At the end of each day, ask yourself "What was enriching/ life giving to me today? And what was draining?"

Then plan to do more of the former and less of the latter.
