Reading
can be the cheapest way to spend your free time, especially if you get a
library card and start borrowing books, or if you buy second-hand books. It's
also an enjoyable activity.
It
has been proven that journaling is a great stress management tool, it also
helps to put your thought into perspective and thus increasing your
mindfulness.

Apart
from the obvious cardiovascular benefits, running can boost your mood and make
you happier. A study at the University of Montreal Hospital Research Centre(CRCHUM) shows that the "runner's high" phenomenon is caused by
dopamine, an important neurotransmitter for motivation.
Gardening
is a great way to save money on herbs that you cook with, but it’s also a great
way to reduce your stress especially if you love it. You don’t have to have a
big garden to enjoy this activity, some pots can be enough.

for you. This will help you fall in love with your city and be able to see
every beautiful corner in it.

interest you.

Setting
goals for yourself and visualizing them will definitely help you get there
faster. A lot of people have tried what is called the law of attraction and had
experienced major success using it.
Learning
shouldn’t stop at school, it is a lifetime activity. Whatever is the area
you’re learning in, improvement can be seen immediately. No time spent learning
is ever wasted, quite the opposite by learning new ways to do things, you’re
saving so much time that otherwise could’ve been wasted by unproductivity.
People
who volunteer are getting more out of it than just an altruistic feeling.
Helping others has been proven to boost your mood and increase your self-esteem, it’s also a great way to put your mind off your problems for a
while. Usually, these problems are self-created and that don’t need an action
to be taking on.

priority. Needless to say, there’s nothing more rewarding than a loving
relationship.
