What you will need...
o A container including lid. (A small food container would be perfect)
o One sticky label or an A4 piece of paper torn in half and cello tape if you are not using a sticky label.
o A marker pen – colour of your choice o A notepad or 10 – 20 sheets of paper lined or unlined.
o A biro o A quite place, somewhere you will be uninterrupted for an hour or two.
Now that you have all your bits and pieces this is what you need to do...
o Using your marker pen, write ‘Things that make me happy/ things I love to do’ on your label.
o Stick your label to your box.
o Now it’s time to fill your box. Using your biro take your note pad or pieces of paper and write all the things you love or like to do, things that make you happy and make you feel good and why! After you have written each thing rip it from the paper fold it up and place in your box. Fold it so you can’t see what is written on the paper. Continue to repeat this until your can’t think of anything else.
Here are some examples of things I have written and placed in my box;
o Washing my hair in a hot shower, I love the feeling of the water... From the ends of my hair to the soles of my feet; it’s amazing.
o Bands/ solo artists/ open mic/spoken word in small intimate venueso Black Jacko Watching old school movies e.g. Grease, Brewster’s Millions, Dirty Dancing, Pretty woman, Rain man, Boomerang, When a man loves a woman etc
o Eating and drinking cocktails at well established restaurants o Painting my nails, red, nude, aluminous pink and French manicure on my natural nails... I like them short and squared
o A candle lit bubble bath, it relaxes me and gives me time to stop and think.
o Going to a far away island where the weather is hot the sea is clear blue, the people are welcoming and the food is good.
o Having ladies nights in, food drinks, games and movies.
Once you have exhausted your feel good options mix up your pick & mix and put the lid on it, or dive in and find out what exciting thing awaits you...
On a regular basis I go to my pick & mix box. I shake it about and pick two or three this to do that day, the best thing about it is a automatically know I am going to love it because it’s made up of things I love to do and make me feel good. Get it? The purpose of pick & mix is for you to enjoy the quality time you spend with yourself and the time you spend with your friends, it’s a place to go for inspiration, variety in your weekend/ lifestyle.
What are you waiting for? Have a go!!!!I hope you are inspired xoxo
