Parenthood is nothing short of bliss! Not only does it mark a new beginning in your life but it also transmits you into another phase and quite another age. Your child becomes the sole center of your attention. You nurture them and direct all your energies towards fulfilling their every need. In the rush of the hour and owing to the paucity of time, you somewhere end up losing your own self. This leads to a lack of mental satisfaction which may, with time, result in frustration and depression. Thereby, it is important for you to accomplish all that you want before you step into the shoes of parenthood. Though there may be numerous things which you may wish, enlisted here are ten fruitful activities which one must try!
1. Take a vacation
A vacation is simply a reinvigorating and an amazing experience. Go for countries which are quite different from your own in respect to culture, traditions, outlook and demography. Prefer to visit a location which is geographically far off!
2. Try skydiving or bungee-jumping
As you fall freely from the sky, you feel a certain sense of openness and enjoyment coupled with an extensive adrenaline rush! So, go for skydiving or bungee-jumping in order to render yourself completely boundless.
3. Audition for movies
There never has been a person who has not dreamt of being a movie star. Use this time to fulfill this aspiration. Go for movie or TV auditions. You ultimately may not get selected but it will, indeed, give you a sense of pleasure and self aggrandizement.
4. Learn music
There is nothing as calming and as peaceful in the world as music. It takes you to another dimension altogether and aids you to connect with your inner being. Not all of us can perform well with our vocal chords but what is the harm in learning to play a musical instrument?
5. Get fit
Fitness is something that all of us aim for but we hardly find the time to consistently strive for its achievement. Get into your sports shoes now. Join a fitness club and learn different techniques of staying healthy. This will further prove to be of immense help after you attain parenthood.
6. Switch jobs
Just because you have landed up a decent job, does not really mean that you are thoroughly enjoying it. Start looking out for other things which may need your undivided attention. Keep switching jobs until you find the one which gives you absolute mental satisfaction. Over a longer period, it is only good work which lasts.
7. Go camping
Camping in the wild is undoubtedly a wonderful way to discover the essentials of the world around us. Moreover, it would give you a perfect time to bond with your partner- away from the continuous hustle and bustle of the city. So avail yourself of this amazing opportunity.
8. Expand your credentials
Education is indeed the finest way to broaden your intellectual process and widen your credentials. So pick up from where you last left. Enroll in a good educational course of your choosing and skill and then continue to learn while you still have the time.
9. Learn a foreign language
A foreign language does not just equip you well in this era of globalization but it also adds another vibrant dimension to your persona. So, pick up a language of your liking and strive to learn it.
10. Go for a long drive
Before you become a parent, it is vital to bond well with your partner. So, go for a long drive with him/her and relish the pleasure of each others company. Discuss future plans and comfort one another.
Becoming parents is bound to make you more dutiful, responsible and loving. However, it will carry its limitations. So shed your inhibitions and fulfill every desire on your wishlist before you step on the threshold of this gladdening journey!
