Do not feel bad about being useful. It's all part of the work-life balance, with a focus on balance. These methods for finding your bliss can be cheap, or even free.
Being lazy tip No. 1: Make 'em laugh
You cannot take anything so seriously around you. You do not have to pay anything to bring a smile to your face or to those faces around you. No matter what the reason, make sure you are laughing all the time.
Do not forget about new things
Even if you watch simply for personal enjoyment, pay attention to the activities of others, activities with which you are not familiar. Rock climbing, Euclidean geometry or playing the piano is all activities that can be fun to view, depending upon your personal proclivities. You don't have to run off and take costly lessons. Be content with observing the pursuits, soaking it in. Pursuing them yourself is for another day and another time.
Creatures around you
Particularly in the early morning and evening, listen to the sound and rhythm of creatures in the wild. The sounds of birds, insects, frogs and more can create a naturally blissful audio landscape that you can enjoy for free by actually going to the forest, or the swamp. A noise machine is no replacement.
Free parks in summer
Think Chicago was not telling the truth when it sang about all the good things to do on a Saturday in the park? Think again. A free public park is a fantastic summertime destination for sitting back and catching some rays. Bring a chair, or a towel. If you are going to be there at lunchtime, bring lunch with you and enjoy it there.
A neighborhood flower garden
You can find a neighborhood flower garden or greenhouse to walk around in. It is generally free and is a perfect way to enjoy your afternoon. Your town might have a community flower garden you can through.
There are clouds everywhere
You can look at the clouds and identify them with friends and family, or you can do it on your own if you would like. You can just look at what the clouds look like or you can classify them. It is a simple thing to mix with your trip to the park.
Do some reading
While finding bliss with mindless television can really be costly (it murders brain cells), reading a book that has nothing at all to do with being an upwardly mobile social climber is not quite so expensive. The same holds true for magazines and relatively long pamphlets, provided they are not job-related. Read for pleasure, not for information.
Reconnect through photography
Every photo you have around you tells some kind of story. You will have good memories by looking through the books. Make sure you look at old photographs and reconnect through them.
Watch a sport
You can watch any sort of game and enjoy yourself doing it. Rather than spending extra time playing the game, which can be considered useful, you can just watch it. Make sure you balance your life out rather than always working.
Go on a stroll
There are walking trails you can go on or you can just take off your shoes and feel the water between your toes in any type of ocean or river. Go on a stroll and think about life instead of being useful. You can just observe the night or the morning, and hold off on every little thing else for a while.
