15. Do Nothing

Photograph by Emdot

I know a lot of people who think the idea of doing nothing is sacrilege. You need a to-do list, you need to check off items, you need productivity, you need stress. It's part of life. But I think one of the best things we can do for ourselves is to take a mini-vacation from our usual routine. Sunday always seem to be the best day for this kind of thing. When I think of Sundays, I see the New York Times and a cup of tea, staying in your p.j.'s until noon, making some yummy breakfast like pancakes or scrambled eggs and enjoying whatever the day brings. If that sounds like a crazy, out-there proposal, then you are one of the ones who truly needs it the most. I call it my Lazy Head Mazy day...just going with the flow, relaxing and doing what makes you feel good.

I'm a bit of a Maroon 5 fan and they have this song called Sunday Morning that just sums up that relaxed, laid-back, convertible-with-the-top-down feeling. Listen and get lazy.
