Go Have a Picnic

A fun, cheap, and healthy social activity that anyone can do is a quick picnic. Finding a calm beautiful place to sit down with some friends or by yourself is a great way to spend the day. Here are some of the top reasons to go and have a picnic.

Change of Scenery

If you are stuck in a rut, bored, or just feel like you haven’t done anything fun recently, getting out and planning something can help get your creative juices flowing. Sometimes we don’t realize how much our moods and opinions can be shaped by the very narrow set of circumstances we live within. Something as simple as a brief trip down to the park can radically change our perspective on things. Engaging our brains in different ways and getting our blood flowing often allows us to escape from the patterns of thought that can restrict our ability to grow and change.

Exercise

We hear lots of talk about how exercise is good for us. But sometimes people don’t realize how easy it can be to exercise enough for noticeable changes. Just a simple increase in activity such as starting to go on walks, biking around, or playing active games can, if done consistently, have a dramatic impact on our health. Being healthier means we feel better about ourselves, but we also live longer, are happier, can think more clearly, and will save money on medical expenses. Slipping into a slimmer pair of jeans, being able to move around with family members, or go on a run with a friend are all great rewards for keeping ourselves more healthy

Socializing

A chance to spend some time in a public space is a chance to talk to others. Bring some friend, and use it as an excuse to catch up with how they are doing. Re-connecting with people, spending quality time with a partner or friend, or even getting a group together can strengthen our relationships and make us happier. If you could use some new friends, look for an activity or time where you will be able to meet people. Go and do something that you enjoy, and look for others who are doing the same thing. Joining a pickup game or chatting while your children play can be a great way to make friends and extend your social network.
