Instead of airfare, for example, take a hike to a local hotel resort or gorge at a restaurant you’ve never been to. If you don’t have any of those local forms of recreation nearby, well…read a book? Or if that’s too demanding, try playing a video game.
There is always camping and national parks that you can go to if you just want to get out, or a walk down a beach or a local lake if it’s in the area. Don’t forget the local museums that have been thoroughly ignored up till now by most members of the public. Be an elitist and get to know your own town.
Our take? Sound trite? Perhaps. Remember, optimism. If you tell yourself that you’ll enjoy it enough times in your head it might even become true.
