FUN THINGS TO DO WHILE YOU'RE AT HOME

Apr 06, 2020

We’ve survived the first weeks of social distancing while working from home and taking classes online. Now is the time to relax, but when you’ve been cooped up for a week, and still can’t hit the malls or movie theaters, how can you spend your time?

•    Virtually go to the Zoo! The Cincinnati Zoo is hosting live events every day at 3pm on their Facebook Live.
•    Attend a live concert from your couch!
•    Binge watch a series. Have you been wondering what Baby Yoda is all about? Why not catch up on the Mandalorian now? You can also make this social with the Google Chrome Extension of the Netflix Party and watch with your friends remotely
•    Learn a language. The Duolingo app is free and has more than 30 language courses. While you won’t become fluent with the app it is a great way to start!
•    Attend the Metropolitan Opera during their nightly streams
•    You can also visit museums on Google Arts and Culture. MoMA in New York City and Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam
•    Watch a Broadway show or check out the Living Room Concert Series
•    Read a book that you’ve been putting off. Audible is also offering some free audio books through their app
•    Go for a hike or walk at a local park
•    Facetime family members or friends! You don’t need to distance yourself fully with all of the technology at your finger tips
•    Always wanted to learn to make the perfect scrambled egg? Now is the best time to start learning how to cook or bake
•    Listen to a new podcasts! Get recommendations from your friends, and there are educational ones, and even ones focused around different hobbies
•    Stream a movie early! Yes the movie theaters are closed but a lot of movies are being released early and on various streaming services.

Happy relaxing!

Happy New Year! What’s New for You?!

Jan 08, 2019

At the start of every New Year we make a list of goals to tackle for the next 365 days. So how do you keep the resolutions to save money, lose weight, or take the trip of a lifetime?

Check out the tips below on how to successfully stay on pace to reach your goals:

1. Be realistic. Make your goal attainable
2. Think ahead. Planning for the future instead of leaving things to chance will help put key pieces in place
3. Design a reward system. Working toward a goal with mini celebrations along the way are ways to encourage yourself
4. Have a goal buddy. Pick someone you can trust to confide in and help hold you accountable
5. Make a pro and con list. Figure out what the good and bad of attaining your goal will be so you can adjust as needed in the process to success
6. Track your progress. Seeing the little wins along the way will help keep your focus
7. Be kind. Don’t beat yourself up if you fall short at times. It’s a process, and that’s why you have 365 days to reach the finish line

No matter your goal, be proud you are challenging yourself to something new. This time next year you’ll be happy you did!
