It seems that when times get tough, and we have to tighten our belts, we usually begin thinking of all the entertainment, and good times, that we will be missing out on. Our focus moves to disappointment and boredom. Why is this? When it gets down to saving-time and we all have to watch our expenses, we focus on what we don’t have instead of what we can still do. This is the time when we should be delving into our creative side, indulging in me-time, and enjoying the simple pleasures in life. Instead we do the opposite, we continue to be bleak and upset about the things we can’t do. In times like this stop practicing your frown-face and learn to live life on the simple side.
We can all learn to utilize our creativity. Artists find their deepest inspiration when they are stuck alone with their canvas and their creativity. The best part of learning to enjoy ourselves on a budget is the many things that we find we have taken for granted over the years. Board games and family time, cooking with your wife or husband, spending time together watching movies and munching popcorn, even the luxury of inexpensive mini-golf can be a looked-over indulgence. The simple things in life can be the most exhilarating as long as we are with those we love while we are doing them. We don’t need to find ourselves cooped up in a bad mood when it can be salvaged by a little cheap-thinking. If you have children sit down with them, and a notepad, and make a list of all the activities that you can do together with the things you have in your home. Get really creative and turn this list-making itself into a project. You can create some of the most interesting projects and crafts out of items already in the home. Spend some time searching for crafts online and use items in your home to perform search results. You can do amazing things with time.
This is the perfect time to try your hand at a new hobby. Begin thinking about things you’re good at and then utilize items you already own in order to emphasize these ideas. Use your inner creativity to make homemade birthday and anniversary cards. Start an online community on your favorite topic, or invent a blogging site for your favorite celebrity or sports icon. You can do some amazing things with time.
