Life doesn't have to be a slog. If you want to figure out how to be more carefree in your daily life, it's important to make time for fun and to keep it. Most people schedule their day around work or school. It's unavoidable for most of us. In the same way you schedule this time, schedule time for the things you want to do as well. As you get busier, it can be too easy to use the free time you have to do nothing. Cue up the Netflix. Instead, start actively planning out leisure activities. Schedule in a fishing trip for next weekend, or book reservations to take your partner on a date. Make a point of making time for fun. Keep a planner so you can stay organized. Write down your deadlines and events for each day so you can worry less. Surround yourself with people that you enjoy being around, and who make your life easier and more fun, as opposed to more stressful. If you want to be carefree, it's important to be around people who have common goals. Social time should be easy, not a chore. Don't let "downers" drag you down with them. Only make a point of socializing with people who will support each other and who want to have a good time with the time you have. This kind of attitude is infectious. Even mundane things like shopping, driving, and going to work should be causes for celebration in a carefree life. If you're going out and doing something, treat it like the biggest adventure that you'll have today. If you can't spend today scuba diving in Hawaii, at least you can spend it adventuring on public transportation! Heading out to the grocery store? Give yourself a little challenge. Decide that you'll take five pictures of ridiculous things that you see on your walk and text them to people on your phone you haven't talked to in forever. Just send them the picture and say, "Reminded me of you." Stuck in the house cleaning? Blast the music and do a Risky Business dance routine, or give yourself the challenge of rearranging the whole house, just because. Some studies show that increasing the amount of natural Vitamin D you get from sunlight can boost your serotonin levels, helping you to feel less stressed and more carefree. Even if you don't have any particular reason to be outside, make a point of getting out in the sun and breathing the air for 15 or 20 minutes each day. This can do wonders for your mood. It's hard to be carefree when you're sitting around watching television and doing nothing. Don't trap yourself inside if you don't need to. Get outside and get active. Light exercise can induce a feeling of euphoria, improving your mood and helping you feel much more carefree. Sometimes called "runner's high," the exercise effect is a documented psychological phenomenon. If you want to help yourself feel more carefree, try finding a regular exercise routine that works with your life. You don't have to go jumping into a marathon. Just try going on a 30-40 minute walk at a brisk pace after you get done working for the day, or start out your day with a walk before you settle in. Find competitive team sports that you enjoy, so you can have the thrill of competition and of socializing with some people aside from the benefits of exercise. Every now and then, life calls for some serious leisure. If you want to be truly carefree, take the time to treat yourself. Just sit in the sun in the middle of the day with a cold drink. Don't let anyone bother you. Read your book on the couch with a hot cup of tea. Book a spa day. Just relax.

Summary: Keep your work time and fun time separate. Socialize with fun people. Turn chores into adventures. Go outside more. Exercise. Spend some time doing nothing.

This is the wire that will capture and kill the rabbit in your snare, so it needs to be strong enough to hold the animal. While you can use any long and bendable wire, a thin metal wire works best. While easier to work with, rabbits can chew threw many thin ropes and cords, making metal the best option. Bend one end of the wire back on itself to create a simple loop, no bigger than an inch. You can wrap the wire around your finger to get the shape and size right. There should be roughly 23 inches (58cm) of extra wire at the bottom of the loop. This is your slip-knot loop. Wrap the excess wire from the loop around the wire at least 5-6 times to snugly secure them together. This is the most important part of the trap, and the loop needs to be strongly attached. When done, it will resemble a balloon on a string. The best way to test the strength of your loop is to put a pencil into the loop and then pull it apart. If the loop comes undone then you should retwist the wire to create a stronger loop. Use pliers to clamp the wires together for added stability if you need it. Feed the opposite end of your wire into the small loop you just made. Your whole wire will now resemble a large circle. Pull the end of the wire through the loop, shrinking your circle until it is the size of your fist, roughly 67 inches (1518cm) across. Your wire will look like a yo-yo on the end of a string. It should be elevated roughly a foot off the dirt and placed in a narrow corridor, such as a small footpath or a trampled trail in the forest. Your snare will hang from this to trap the rabbit. Felled trees, low hanging branches, or iron bars will all work. Make sure your bar is secured or heavy enough that a small rabbit couldn't pull it away. The loop should be hanging from the trap so that it is 78 inches (17.820.3cm) off of the ground. Your trap will resemble a noose hanging from a rafter or bar. As the rabbit jumps through the loop its weight will pull the loop tightly shut and kill the animal. Using large branches, block off the space underneath and to the sides of your snare, forcing them to jump through your loop. You want to block off all the space except the one in your snare.
Summary: Cut a 2.5ft piece of wire, rope, or cord. Create a small loop at the end of the wire. Twist the end of the wire at the bottom of the loop to hold it in place. Take the opposite end of the wire and push it through your slip-knot loop. Keep pulling the end through your slip-knot loop to make a noose. Place a branch, felled tree, or bar horizontally over the ground. Tie your snare to the bar. Create barriers to force rabbits towards your trap.
