I make sure to fit in some gaming time for myself on my phone. Even if it has been a long day and I'm in bed, I play for a few minutes just to give myself some time that is solely for me and no one else. I need "me" time, and I just don't give enough to myself.

Me time is very important to validate ourselves, our needs, hope you will get more of it in future.

I don’t have anything I’ve introduced in the past 5-10 years I can call a habit. I’ve gone as long as 11 months with a regular exercise routine and lost it when I missed a single workout.

I find changing the routines helps to get back at them and stay in the good habit.

Nice pinkSky674! Skating is sooo much fun laugh. Don't let not having anyone prevent you from having the fun you want unless of course you need someone to attend for a particular reason.

1. Happy Friday to all of you, how was your week?

It was hellacious.

2. What's a simple activity that consistently makes you happier and how regularly are you doing it?

Walking in the sun, and I have been doing it the days I am able.

@purpleTree4652

Hope hellacious is meant in a good sense, just asking as I am not familiar with that expression (thanks for teaching me a new word)

Hope you get many days in future to enjoy the sun whilst going for a walk. 🌞

Hi Tortoise, so glad to meet you here laugh. I used to have 2 dogs and it was always nice and relaxing to go through the woods. The air of the forest smells so good. What kind of dog do you have?

Reading makes me happier, but I can't do a progress anymore in reading and I lost my ambition.

@DinaElwy

I hope you will get motivated again to do what brings you happiness.

Sometimes starting very slowly, like just reading 1/2 page per day, can bring back the "appetite".
