The last couple of years has people rethinking the amount of time they spend on social media. Viral dances, entertaining lip syncs and hot topics served us well and kept us occupied during hard times.
However, it also developed within us a greater appreciation for life offline. Moments in the great outdoors, laughs with family and friends, a quick pastry from our local baker were all the types of things we missed.
Though it looks like many of us are headed for another round of shutdowns, we can still get creative and take breaks from our social platforms. Here are six ideas for the Post Graduate Gang!
1. Get a Good Book
Remember that story about how you used to read leisurely a lot before college, but then required class readings got in the way and you stopped? So many of us have that same story! You’re not alone. Check out what’s new (or old) at your local bookstore or on Amazon.
2. Find a New Park.
Even if it’s not currently safe to visit some of the world’s natural wonders, you can still be exposed to the beauty of nature through a trip to your local park or a drive to a nearby national park. Nature brings rejuvenation and inspiration.
3. Catch Up With Friends and Family In-person
There’s nothing quite like quality time with people you love. If it’s safe, pay someone a visit or invite someone out to an enjoyable activity. Good times with good people help you remember that challenges are never as bad as they seem and refill your hope.
4. Engage in Self-reflection.
Your 20s are likely the first time you really get to plan out your own life. It’s freedom, but with added responsibility. Things won’t just happen, but you have the power to make them happen. Take some time to pray and plan.
5. Try Out Some New Recipes.
How good is your cooking? Make it even better with enjoyable practice recipes. Find the master chef inside of you by trying out harder, new dishes, even if you practice more than once.
Well, that’s all from us for right now! We’re excited about the joy and purpose you’ll find offline and the new treasures you’ll discover. If you’d like, you can tag us on Instagram or Facebook and share your experiences.
Purposefully,
Post Graduate
