 - looking up at the sky and watching the clouds - they change so much and so quickly, you don't really notice until you look really closely at the details
- watching the full moon rise at sunset
- seeing the new crescent moon for the first time after the dark of the moon, when you haven't glimpsed her for days
- singing loudly while driving
- cadbury chocolate with clinker pieces in it
- getting up really early in the morning just to appreciate going back to bed
- walking barefoot on grass
- www.storypeople.com
- pouring your heart out to your cat/dog/teddy bear
- googling yourself
- shaving your legs - in winter
- www.basicinstructions.net
- scented candles
- lip balm
- lollipops
- long, hot showers
- holding your own hand (try it!)
- colouring in children's colouring books - and not judging yourself when you colour outside the lines
- scribbling with crayons
- lying on your back on the grass with your eyes closed and arms spread out trying to feel the movement of the earth spinning
- going to a Dusk shop and sniffing all the scented candles - and walking out without buying anything
- buying a magazine or book on a subject that you normally wouldn't buy
- trying on expensive perfume at the most up-market shop you can find
- trying on men's aftershave/perfume (it makes me feel sexy! LOL)
- watching shadows dance on tree leaves
- smiling at an elderly person you see at the shops or in public
- getting a book off your bookshelf that you haven't read in years and re-reading it to see if you notice anything more/different
- watching an old black and white movie - no sex, no swearing, no violence and happy endings!
- standing in the sun and really focusing on how good it feels against your skin
- finding shapes and pictures in the clouds
- looking at the stars and noticing how they twinkle like christmas lights - and you'll see a shooting star too, they're more common than people think
- writing a list of things you've learnt about a certain subject or just life in general
- writing a list of questions you've always wondered about the world/universe/science, etc and putting it by the computer so when you're bored or need distracting you can look up the answers (eg: why is the sky blue? who the hell WAS this Freud guy? how do they make dog food? (not recommended...))
- cleaning out that 'junk drawer' you've avoided looking at - seriously, cleaning sucks, but when you're finished it feels really good
- http://www.extremely-sharp.com/direct/catvideo.html
- finding a patch of moss/clover/etc and making up a story in your head about the tiny fairies that live there
- getting binoculars/a telescope and looking at the moon, or going to a hill/lookout and looking at stuff with binoculars
- download Google Earth and look at weird places or places you'd like to go - I've 'been to' the pyramids, the Mediterranean, Washington, Africa, Stonehenge, Greece, New Zealand, etc
- try an ice cream flavour you normally wouldn't or haven't tried before
xXx
