When boredom strikes #1... Help in HOUSEHOLD CHORES

Hey, it's summer! It's time to relax and rest from the pressures of school. Time for a summer getaway or apply for a summer workshop. That sounds fun, really!

So as you and your friends won't see each other for a while, you stay at home. When you stay at home, you realize you miss the things you used to do when you're in school. The vacation should make you happy but then you can't think of things that would enjoy you. Your SLEEP-EAT-SLEEP- routine wears you out that even surfing the net isn't fun anymore... that's when boredom strikes!

So why is it that I included this 'helping' thing here? To answer my own question, because it is the right thing to do. Do you know that your parents get happy when they see you staying at home? Do you know how relieved they are when they see you happy staying with them? How much more if you show them that you care by means of helping them? That makes sense right?

Keeping the house clean is one of the things that you can do when staying at home. As you sweep, wipe, mop or scrub the floors, you're not only keeping it tidy but you lose calories from it. It also regulates your blood circulation because the more you move your body, you are sweating and I'm saying you can get more benefits from it.

Helping your mother (like washing clothes) can bring you closer to her too. Try to share what you feel or some funny jokes so you two can get along together. Same as with your father, prepare the things he needs before going to work (like serving him coffee, polishing his shoes, or ironing his uniform) to show him that you care. It will be also nicer to look at when you encourage your siblings to help you. In this manner, they will not grow up lazy!

Although, these things can't be done in one day but a daily schedule can help. Of course, there would be also free time for you to surf the net, read your favorite book or rest from what you're doing.

By doing these, it would not only serve you good but would make your parents realize how lucky they were to have you as their child. To have raised a responsible child. This daily activity will not bore you as you will have a sense of initiative. This is a good practice to take away one’s procrastination.

For me, vacation is not just about relaxation, it's about spending the long given time productively. Even though some of us doesn't have enough money to go places (like me), we can spend the break in our own ways. To count, there are many of them. How? Follow Tip #2 in my next post. See yah!

Have a wonderful vacation,
