6. Pen Down Your Thoughts On Being A Woman

Choose a woman's forum, or write in your own blog, if you have one. Write down something about your journey as a woman so far. It can be a light funny note or a serious one describing your battles as a woman. Share it with the other woman around the world with the help of the World Wide Web.

8. Awaken The Movie Buff In You

If you have not had enough time in the past to watch a whole movie in the comfort of your couch, sipping on some refreshing beverage and a bowl of butter popcorns, do it today. List the names of women-centric movies that were there on your watchlist and start watching. Let the movies give you loads of new fuel to run the crazy miles of your life.

9. Let Women Know You Care

Visit a local women's shelter and spend the day with underprivileged girl children or women who have been victims of dreadful crimes committed against them. Listen to their stories, share some bright moments with them, sing for them and just be with them. Make their lives happy even if for just one day. Show them that you care.

10. Make Yourself Happy

As a woman, you owe yourself this one. Make yourself happy. This is your day and you have all the rights to be happy. So pick out activities that make you happy and just do it.
