Sometimes it's just time for a change. Our routines get boring, our habits get boring, and our lives seem to get boring. The good news? You can start changing that right now.
Sometimes it's just time for a change. Our routines get boring, our habits get boring, and our lives seem to get boring. The good news? You can start changing that right now. Just remember this one thing: the only person who has to think your life is interesting is you.
#Shake up your morning routine.
Instead of following the same wake-up routine every day, do it differently on occasion. Get up ten minutes early and have breakfast outside. Turn off the TV and put on music. Make love before work. Drive a different way. Just starting your day differently will give you a little thrill.
#Never Let Go Of Your Inner Child.
When and why do people stop being kids? Kids are the ones that are always running around, laughing, playing, getting scared, hurting themselves. There is no reason why everyone shouldn’t be like this. Society can make people very boring and miserable. Don’t drown your inner voice that says “Woah! Thats soooo cool!”. “I’m not being immature, I’m having fun. You should try it some time.”
#Throw dinner parties or events for friends.
Ask them to invite their friends too. The more you expand your network and sphere of friends, the more you create the “Great Gatsby” effect. People will start to ask about you and wonder who you are.
#Stop wondering, and start testing.
If I write this novel, will I become more interesting? If I go to this party, will I become more interesting? If I sail across the world, will I be more interesting? The only way to find out? Do it. The more that you do, the more stories you’ll have to tell. Have a bias towards action.
#Go offline and get disconnected
You do not have to do this the whole day. Choose a moment where you think you should get disconnected from the world and go offline. Stay alone and be with yourself.
You can choose to do your own thing such as working on your project, taking action on your most important task, reflecting on your life, reviewing your goals, read a book, etc.
#What is your hobby? And do it
What do you love to do? What are your hobbies? Hobbies are great ways to make our life enjoyable and fun. Do you love to play basketball? Do you love to swim? Or do you love hiking?
Every week, spend some time doing what you love. Work around with your hobby. If you love to swim, arrange a time for swimming at least once a week.
#Greet and smile at strangers
No one was born happy, but we were born with the ability to create happiness. Our smile can change the world one at a time. Smile more to bring happiness to yourself. Smile at strangers to make the world a better place.
Do I even need to explain more on this? Every morning when you wake up and look at the mirror in your bathroom, smile and say to yourself, “Today is a great day and wonderful things will come to me.”
#Be your wacky, unique, authentic self.
Stop trying to be somebody you’re not so that you can fit in. It’s exhausting to put up an act. And you know what? People will see through your charade. So be the awesome person that you are. The people that belong in your life will love you for it.
#Be Different. I cannot stress this enough. No, you don’t have to go out of your way to be that guy that’s dressed absolutely ridiculously, or be the one that hates something just because everyone else likes it. You should not be different just for the sake of being different, you should be “different” because that’s what you want to do. Don’t wear neon green shoelaces just because no one else has them, wear them because you thought in your head, “Neon green laces would be pretty cool.” Ignore anyone that says, “Dude, those look stupid” or “Why the hell do you have green laces?” You wear green laces because you want to wear green laces; your green laces aren’t affecting anyone else. “We are all born originals – why is it so many of us die copies?” -Edward Young
#Do that one big thing.
Is there one big action you've been holding back on that could turn your life from boring to amazing? Maybe it's a job change, a move, a proposal, a change of scenery, a new relationship in your life. Whatever it is, take the first step. Action creates momentum, and momentum builds excitement.
For the most part, an exciting life doesn't happen to you. (And when it does, it may not be the kind of excitement you want!) You need to find ways to jazz up your life in small ways by shifting your perspective — and changing some of your daily actions.
Small and fresh change can enliven you and create a new and exciting outlook on life.
