sign up for weekly art classes
•••
“Art” is the operative word here! Whether it’s writing, painting, collage, pottery, weaving, etc., signing up for a weekly art class is a great way to ensure you make time for creative pursuits outside of work. With a weekly class, there’s no need to schedule something in yourself, and having other people in the class can be a great motivator to show up each week. Bonus: picking a class on a medium you’ve always loved (I picked stained glass) means you can have more of it in your home!

drive without a GPS
•••
Ever realize you don’t actually remember how to get to work/a friend’s house/your favourite restaurant without a GPS? I recently found I had become so reliant on my GPS telling me where to go that I couldn’t direct myself without it! When I have time to get lost, I’ve started trying to find my own way to my destination by memory alone. I mess up from time to time, but I eventually make it to my destination, and the mistakes make me remember the route more. It’s a small change, but it does make me feel like a more active participant in my life (even during a dreaded work commute).

embrace the cringe
•••
Don’t let the idea of being “cringey” stop you from doing and being what you love. Wear that outfit that’s “too loud”, go to that anime movie you’ve been wanting to see, play that cool sport even though you’re bad at it — following your joy will never be a bad thing. We are all lame to someone no matter what, so embrace what makes you cringey: Let your freak flag fly!

buy unknown albums before listening
•••
Missing that sense of discovery and wonder with music streaming platforms? Head to your nearest thrift shop/music store/garage sale and pick out an album that catches your eye but which you know nothing about. When you bring it home and put it on, the anticipation of what genre/instrument/voice/language will start playing is unreal. You might find a new favourite, and at the very least if you like the album cover you have a new piece of artwork to display in your home.

go to a baseball game
•••
Whether it’s your local team or a matchup between the Jays and Yankees, a baseball game is the perfect way to enjoy the summer. Classic summer and stadium eats like a hot dog or popcorn, a cold beer on a hot day, fun crowd activities between plays and innings, plus the games are long enough to make it feel like a true outing. Play ball, y’all!

Instagram as a digital scrapbook
•••
Avoid the constant watching others watching yourself watching others of social media platforms like Instagram by using it as your own virtual memory repository. I like to post once a month, with posts composed of the photos I’ve taken over the past month as a semi-archive of stand out moments — a view I loved, a hyper-specific meme I made, an event I went to, a song I’ve been listening to on repeat, etc. Ever feel like the days fly by and that you can’t remember what you did? This helps with that, and it’s like a digital version of flipping through a photo album. It doesn’t even matter if the quality of the photo/video isn’t great because, as a wise girl with 365 buttons once said: It actually only has to make sense to me 💅🏻
