The first seven days of October marks the final long holiday of 2024 - the National Day holiday. Instead of opting for costly travel in terms of money, time and energy, consider thriftier and environmentally friendly ways to rejuvenate your mind and body. Here are some activities to try on each day:
Day 1: Connect with your parents
Engage in a heartfelt conversation with your parents and assist them with household chores. Spending quality time together as a family is crucial for strengthening relationships and bonds.
Day 2: Read a short book
Select an intriguing, concise book that you can complete in one day. Immerse yourself in a world crafted with words and characters.
Day 3: Reconnect with your best friend
Reunite with your best friend or simply reach out through a phone call or message. They will be delighted to hear from you, especially if you've been out of touch for a while.
Day 4: Watch a movie
Just like a good book, a captivating film can evoke laughter or tears, offering an emotional escape.
Day 5: Visit a nearby park and feed stray animals
Explore the park in your vicinity and admire the autumnal beauty of blooming trees and flowers. If you encounter stray animals like cats or dogs, sharing some food with them can be a heartwarming gesture.
Day 6: Clean and declutter
Tidy up your living space and declutter unnecessary items and old clothing. Consider donating or selling items at a flea market.
Day 7: Relax with a shower and soft music
Indulge in a soothing shower and unwind to soft music such as smooth jazz on the final day of the holiday to prepare for the upcoming work week. Retire early to ensure a stress-free start to the workday.
