More Ways to Spend Your Extra Time

Spending Time with Others

In my last post, I mentioned some ways to spend extra time. Although I couldn't list all of the ways you can spend extra time, I thought I could mention one more. Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to spend some time with my older sister. We live about 35 minutes away from each other, and although we talk on the phone almost everyday, we rarely get to see each other. She joined me for my morning cardio kickboxing class on Saturday and then we went to breakfast at one of my favorite restaurants, La Madeleine. It was great to sit and chat with her face-to-face.

Often, we rarely think about spending extra time with others. But, taking the time to have lunch, go to a movie or to do some mutually stimulating activity with a relative, friend or colleague can be very rewarding. I certainly felt like I accomplished a lot in the time we spent together. If you have nieces, nephews, God children, grandchildren, younger cousins and so on, consider how you could make their day by opting to spend your extra time with them. And, if you have a family of your own, consider how you can spend your time doing rewarding family activities.
