I want to give you a challenge. It’s the same one I’ve given myself. This might be a good time to try something we’ve been thinking of doing, but put off. Maybe we haven’t had time or we’ve pushed it into the future because we’re intimidated about the difficulty level. Self-doubt had kept us from beginning. I can relate to that. What is something you have always wanted to do or learn? Take the first step to look into it.

Perhaps there is something on your to-do list that would be satisfying to accomplish. Start on it and get it done. There is a sense of accomplishment in finishing something we’ve been putting off. I’ve been working on refinishing the deck. It’s a big project. I’m always temped to put it off each year. Yet, I feel good when I get it done.

There will always be situations around us that we can’t control. Drought, disease, and the economy, are examples. Pursuing our personal interests can take our minds off worry. Here are a few ideas:

1. Investigate a hobby that interests you. Learn a new cooking skill. Practice a music instrument. Read. Write a story. Surf the internet for something that interests you. Put together a thousand piece puzzle.

2. Begin a project you’ve put off. Paint a bedroom. Finish reading a book. Reorganize the kitchen or bathroom.

3. Learn something that interests you, but you always thought would be too hard. Learn to draw or paint. Study a foreign language. Reconnect with old friends or relatives by phone, e-mail, or FaceTime.

4. For some downtime, read some of the wonderful books that are being offered. There are lots of freebies, such as, my sweet Regency romance, A RELATIVE MATTER. You can download it for free on Amazon.
