Shape Hunting

Posted: 15 Jul 2021 05:00 PM PDT

Look around the room and try to find as many squares as you can. Picture frames, sticky notes and tissue boxes are some examples of objects that are square. Remember, rectangles don't count! This exercise helps you become more aware of your surroundings and helps improve your attention to detail. If squares are too easy for you, try circles or triangles.

You can do this exercise whenever you are sitting around doing nothing, whether it's on the bus or in a waiting room. If you have a friend with you, make it a challenge to see who can find the highest number of a certain shape.

Social Meals

Posted: 15 Jul 2021 05:00 PM PDT

Social interaction is important for making and maintaining good memories. Meals have always been a time when people get together to eat and enjoy each other's company. If you notice that you are often eating alone, try to change that habit.

Make it a policy in your home that meals are a social event. Remove the newspaper, turn off the television and give your family your undivided attention. If you live alone, invite a friend or neighbor over for dinner. Not only does this introduce some novelty into your day, but it also strengthens your relationships.

If you are at work, try to arrange a group lunch with coworkers or friends who work nearby. Eating lunch with coworkers in different departments is a great way to learn something new.
