Weekend suggestions

[whatausername]

What can I do this weekend? Something fun or that takes me out of my head. I can't even remember what I enjoy at the moment.

I too have struggled recently to work out where I find joy. It sounds silly to say I don't know what I enjoy but I'm just so unsure of myself! I don't know your situation but for me I felt my life had become purely about work and kids, weighted too heavily towards work 😔

I have tried doing things that involve being outside, which h has been nice while we have had some lovely sunshine. Just sitting in my garden or a short walk and a drive to a picnic spot by a lake where you can sit with a coffee and enjoy the peace.

If you find you are overwhelmed by your thoughts, try roping someone in to go with you and chat about something else, or where you're at if you feel ready. Otherwise, I have found listening to audio books very helpful. I get immersed in the story so it gives me a break from my own thoughts.

Some other things on my list of things i enjoy:
Quizzes
Cinema film (less likely to switch off and obsessively scroll on my phone in the cinema!)
Spa day/treatment
Escape room
Seeing friends who make me laugh
Visiting the library and reading
Learning a new/practising a known craft eg. Cross stitch
Theatre
Buying a magazine to flick through while having a cake in a coffee shop

It actually looks like a decent list even though I am anxious that I'm boring.

I hope you're okay OP 💐
