New Beginnings

Go on a picnic - Whether with friends or solo, there is something rejuvenating about putting out a blanket and having a meal alfresco. Pack your favorite dish and head to the nearest park for a relaxing evening after work or gather your girls for a bring-your-own-blanket potluck this weekend. (Photo: Tim Robbins/Mint Images/Corbis)

Tell someone you love them - It doesn't have to be the one who got away (that sounds stressful), but call — don’t text — someone you love and remind them of how much you care. You’ll give them a boost and you’ll feel amazing, too.(Photo: Hero Images/Hero Images/Corbis)

Go to the movies on your own - You know that movie you’ve been dying to see, but no one else is interested? Bump waiting for it to come on demand, hit up the Saturday matinee. Head to the good theater with the reclining seats and real food (or pack your own — we won’t tell) and have a nice, inexpensive, strangely empowering date with yourself. (Photo: Daniel Koebe/Corbis)

Clean out your DVR - First, go through and give yourself permission to delete that show with 10 unwatched episodes — you obviously don't actually want to watch it, and TV is supposed to be fun. Then have your very own lost weekend: Put on your PJs, grab your favorite snacks and binge on all the lovely shows you’ve been too busy to enjoy. (Photo: JGI/Jamie Grill/Blend Images/Corbis)
