... or whatever else you dream of. You've probably been procrastinating for a long time to take up something exciting and new. You might even know exactly what it is, but you just haven't gotten around to it - a cooking class, learning a new language, going to a group exercise class, or even something as small as starting an exciting book. February 29 is a great day to do it.

Buy the tickets you so want

Most of us secretly dream of a ticket - it could be a plane ticket for a long-awaited trip, or a concert ticket for your favorite band, or maybe it's a movie ticket for that romantic movie you've been wanting to see so badly, or the new play at the theater... No matter what it's for, don't put it off - that ticket could take you to an exciting place.

Give yourself a different kind of evening

Are you tired of doing the same thing every night? You probably come home from work, cook dinner, then eat in front of the TV and go to bed. Or maybe your routine is different but still involves the same actions. Choose a different activity for tonight. Enjoy a hot bath with fragrant oils, a date with favorite friends, some engaging movie, an evening walk with a loved one, a long drive with pleasant music... the choice is yours.
