When you are driving you typically don’t have to brake to a crawl or stop to merge into traffic. It is actually safer of you don’t! You don’t have to merge as soon as you can. You don’t have to wait to merge at the last second. Roads are designed to give a length of road so you can smoothly transition.
hobbies
#59 – skateboard
If you used to skateboard as a kid, dust off your board and try again as an adult. If you never skateboarded before, it’s never too late to try. Start with a longboard or something with stiffer trucks/wheels if you are a newbie. Don’t forget the helmet, and wrist, elbow, or knee pads, if you are going to be doing tricks!
#55 – go to the circus
Whether it’s a fancy French circus, or small traveling side show, it is so much fun to relive your childhood and marvel at the colorful costumes and amazing feats!
#53 – go camping
Pack a tent, sleeping bag, and a cooler that includes marshmallows for roasting. Go for hikes during the day. Tell stories around the campfire at night. Grill steak & veggie kebabs if car camping. Bring a hammock and book if you are in the woods. Don’t forget the bug spray!
#50 – be spontaneous
Even if it’s a weeknight and you are tired. Or it’s the weekend and you are tired. Tired is not an excuse not to go out. Work the next day is not an excuse not to go out. If your friend invites you out, or if your significant other proposes an idea for fun, say yes. Be spontaneous, and in retrospect you will be so happy you did.
#46 – use a headlamp
A headlamp can be used anytime you’d use a flashlight, and it’s hands free! Use it when your power goes out. Use it camping. Use it to walk your dog or go for a run at night. Use it to change a light bulb in the basement.
