Adulting can be stressful from time to time, or at least it seems like it. From working a full time job, making car payments, paying rent and any other bills, it seems like the older we get, there is less time for enjoyable things. Even though we all have responsibilities, it is important to take a day off and enjoy a day to ourselves.

In order to enjoy the warm weather that is upon us, I decided to head to Friendship Park this past weekend and get some exercise. While at the park, I noticed that I was not the only one who had the same idea. From the packed baseball fields to the soccer fields, it was clear both children and adults were having a good time while engaged in physical activities.

For me, exercising is a way to relax, clear my mind and prepare for the upcoming workweek.

While my method may not be for everyone, there are plenty of other things to do around Pearl River County. Some of those activities can include heading to the driving range to hit some golf balls, visit the Crosby Arboretum to walk through the woods while learning more about nature or simply visiting some of our local shops and seeing what they have to offer.

While some activities can be expensive, I also try to find ways to relax without leaving the comfort of my own place.

Some of those activities can include watching a new movie, or maybe reading a new book or just playing video games.

While it is important to work hard, enjoying a day to ourselves can help us stay energized so we can meet the responsibilities that come with being an adult.
