Life Beyond the 9-5: Five Favorite Activities
As someone who cherishes every moment away from the desk, I've come to embrace a few activities that nourish my mind, body, and soul.
Here I share my top five favorite pastimes that bring joy to my life.
High-Intensity Workouts: Nothing invigorates me quite like a high-intensity workout session at Yoga Joint (a local yoga studio in the South FL area). The combination of heart-pumping exercises, dynamic movements, and fun music sets the perfect tone for an exhilarating experience. Whether it's challenging my limits or finding inner peace in a power yoga session, each visit leaves me feeling empowered and re energized. It’s an hour of time where I can’t be on my phone or laptop & truly focus on only personal growth.
Strolling Down A1A: There's something so peaceful about the ocean breeze and sound of the waves crashing against the shore along Florida's iconic A1A coastal highway. Taking a walk along this scenic route not only offers calming views but also serves as an escape from the hustle and bustle of my daily life. Each step fuels my soul.
Miami Hurricanes Football Games: As a die-hard fan of college football, attending Miami Hurricanes games is a cherished tradition that I look forward to every year with my husband. The electrifying atmosphere of the stadium, the fun we have grilling & hanging out while tailgating, and the adrenaline the game provides creates an unforgettable experience. We love to travel to an away game every year and it’s become ‘our thing’.
Quality Time with Family: Amidst the hustle and bustle, there's nothing quite like gathering around the table with loved ones and sharing a delicious meal. Whether it's a cozy dinner at home or a lively outing at our favorite restaurant, these moments of togetherness are precious reminders that family time is so important.
Shopping (duh) - Mainly HomeGoods or Home Depot for Home Renovations: As someone who takes great pride in creating a warm and inviting living space, exploring HomeGoods or Home Depot for home renovation ideas allows me to acknowledge my creativity. Whether browsing through aisles of stylish decor, discovering unique finds, or envisioning exciting home improvement projects, each visit is a chance to transform my living space into a reflection of my personal style.
