    I need this! My leg is injured and not being able to work out is making me feel useless and frustrated. I'm currently spending too much time ruminating about my misfortune.

    Today I sat outside and watched birds in the garden. A rose I thought died last year is blooming.

    sorry to hear about your injury! i’m glad you got to take the time to notice the rose blooming - now you can look forward to watching it grow! ❤️

    May 2 - spent a good 20 minutes or so sitting on the floor with the office dog, Ruby. Even though i didn’t have time to waste, spending time with her is an instant mood boost / stress reliever! So thankful to my coworker who brings her in and shares her with us!

    I took a bath the first day and last night I went to bed early. Today I've got my favorite Zumba class. Going to try and work in some of the other ideas on here

    I’m dying to try Zumba, it looks so fun!

    May 2, put new cushions on the kitchen chairs. I've been hating the chairs for a while without doing anything about it, now I like them.

    i love making little changes around the house. (apartment, in my case!) Even a tiny quick update can make a room feel so much better!

    May 3: more bird watching - and took steps towards reclaiming my crafting space, which had become unmanageable. Donated a bunch of stuff.
    May 4: more deep cleaning and organization. I need to buy a couple things before progressing further, but this is shaping up to be a major improvement in my life.

    Also took a very nice evening walk with my husband - still slow walking due to my leg. It's just beginning to sound and smell like summer, and it was pleasant walking just at suppertime because several neighbors were grilling outside so we got to enjoy the delicious scent of their dinners and then go home and enjoy our own.

    May 4: Deep relaxation with YouTube audio TWICE today - both times (early AM and late afternoon) I got more sleep! I’m realizing how important sleep is! Helps with weight loss, general health, and energy!! Grateful & glad that I found away to get more
