Relaxing, resting, recharging, whatever you want to call it, we all need it. Life can get crazy busy and, before you know it, it’s been weeks since you’ve done something just for you! Resting can look different for everyone and comes in many different facets. Sometimes it’s nice to treat yourself to your favorite dinner, a new clothing item, or a coveted video game, but other times, you need something to do or enjoy that’s 100% free.
Coming up with new and enjoyable things to do for free can be difficult sometimes, so we put together a list for you to reference or spark inspiration from!
