If you’re bored this summer, we’ve got a whole list of things to do to keep the summer fun and interesting!
Meditate at least 10 minutes per day.

Pamper yourself. Get a massage.
Adopt a shelter pet or volunteer at a shelter.
Smile at a stranger.
Start a running (or walking) program.
Read that book you’ve been meaning to read. The Will Rogers Library has plenty of options!
Call an old friend.
Order a dish at a restaurant that you have never tried before. Even better if it’s a local restaurant!
Pay for someone’s meal out. It’s easy to pay it forward, especially in the drive-thru.
Be grateful for the little things.
Visit a new town and find something fun to do there.
Replace one junk food with a superfood. Mmm, sweet potatoes. And did you know that Chick-fil-A has kale salad as a side?

Plant your favorite vegetable. Perhaps a superfood?
Visit a new town.
