Simple Excuses to Use Your Balcony Frequently
We put in all our efforts, money and sources in building a house. All our hopes and dreams are attached with it. However, once we are done with the house construction, we get on with our usual lives. The craze of having or building your own house fades away and you live as casually as ever. You generally use the common areas, say the bedroom, bathroom, living room; and forget about the parts which you built with equal enthusiasm-the balcony, terrace, deck, patio or the backyard of your house. I agree, we all live a busy life; but what would spending 5-10 minutes in your balcony or deck cost you? Nothing at all! Here is a list of some simple things which will serve as excuses to use your balcony frequently.
To drink coffee
You may argue about drinking coffee in the balcony rather than in the house. Well, my point is you can of course have coffee sitting in any corner of the house, but when we can go all the way to coffee shops or malls just to have coffee, why not the balcony? The fresh air is always refreshing and it works well in reducing tiredness. It will be a good change for your tired mind.
To have meals
Almost all of us follow a routine of eating our meals at home sitting in front of the TV. It seems as if the food wouldn't taste as good without the television around. Try eating your meals in your balcony once in a while and trust me you would love it. I agree it may be troublesome to carry all the dishes from your kitchen to the balcony, but it is worth a shot. You would love the dining table conversations, which were replaced by the television in the house.
To enjoy the weather
The weather round the year isn't pleasant enough to be enjoyed. However, when the weather does get nice, we waste the opportunity to live up to the fun. Pull up a chair or just stand by your balcony balustrades; the fresh breeze of air will sweep you off your feet relieving you of all tension and worries. Your body and your mind will rejoice in the natural environment.
To read a book
We all read books but in the comfort of our bedrooms. Have you ever tried reading a book sitting in a hanging chair on your balcony? If not, you have missed out an amazing opportunity to find happiness in silence. Far from the noise of your family and the busy city life, reading a book in your balcony will help you come face to face with your inner self.
To spend some 'ME' time
We often lose our own selves in this rush to earn and live a good life. Try standing in your balcony all by yourself for some time, all the things you have been neglecting over time will come to your mind. You will find the answers to many questions there, it is generally considered that time spent with oneself is often productive.
Standing in the balcony may seem to be a very simple thing, it actually is. But if you think about its advantages, you will run out of fingers to count on. Not using a balcony is a royal waste of resources.
