When our lives get busy and we find ourselves taking on more and more responsibilities, it is hard to not feel as though each day is robotic. Wake up, work, eat, shower, and go to sleep. This is a daunting schedule that can make us feel aimless at times and bored. Looking to change up your life? Consider these tips on changing up your life if you’re feeling stuck in that same routine!
Your clothes speak volumes about your personality. So if you are feeling like you’re in the same old boring patterns, chances are your outfits are going to reflect similar thoughts. What to do? Get to shopping asap!
New clothes will make you feel better, as they are free from reminders and memories of the past. Instead, you are free to move forward confidently, without having to look down to be reminded about a different time in your life. The best part about the fall season is all the sales that take place with leftover summer items.
In my opinion, not all these items are truly summer only and can definitely be blended seamlessly into your autumn looks. This new wardrobe will equal a new and bolder you!
A new activity to occupy your time can awaken interests and passions you never even thought possible. For instance, taking up painting could bring out the artist from within. A shift helping out at your local food pantry could stir up a passion for helping those in need.
You will never really know what you’re truly into until you try it for the first time. After you may realize you hate it, but at least you tried and you leave yourself room to take up something else.
Sick of seeing the same old surroundings each day? Maybe try a change of scenery…a least for a few weeks. A trip somewhere new and exciting can change your mood entirely. You can get out of your comfort zone and maybe do something you’ve never done before.
Also, the lack of familiarity will be more refreshing than nerve-racking as it means a spot to make new memories in. Whether its somewhere tropical or somewhere in Europe, a little you-vacation is all you need to change your life!
Music is the soundtrack that we fill our lives with on the daily. I don’t think I can walk anywhere alone without having my headphones in. However, sometimes we find ourselves listening to the same artists or similar styles of music.
You’re doing yourself a disservice if you never explore other genres, because you may find you really dig a certain style you had never predicted. Also don’t be afraid to search fairly far back, because even though the music may be old in terms of when it was recorded, the sound is still new to you!
If you’re feeling bored and not as happy as you’d like, it may be time for you to move. A change of general surroundings will lead to you feeling as though you’re carrying around less baggage and constantly being reminded by the past. Also if you move to a new city or even just a different part of town, you may discover areas and places you never even knew about. So when in doubt…start packing and move!
Do long days at the office have you missing the simpler days of high school where the only work you had was an after school job? Well, what if you could go back to those days…at least for a few days a week. Job fields like retail or restaurant service are very common as part-time jobs for many professionals.
This is of course if you can get the time off from work. But instead of spending your days off doing the same old same old, you could be doing something that makes you feel productive and exposes you to a different group of people!
Ever want to learn a different language? Or maybe how to ballroom dance? How about becoming CPR certified? If you’re feeling bored and like you’re, then you probably have enough room in your schedule to learn a new craft. You could even find this knowledge may lead you to a paying job, like learning how to bartend.
But whatever you choose, once you’re finished, I guarantee you will feel like a new person. Plus it expands what you have to talk about with your friends and family, adding an ora of excitement around your stories!
Working out is the perfect filler to add to the boring parts of your week if you’re not already. Not only will you improve your physical appearance and fitness, but you also will feel better and working out releases stress and other anxieties that may be plaguing your days. And for even more unpredictability don’t just always use the same machines and do the same exercises.
Maybe try something you’ve always been scared to do in front of others. It will increase your confidence and allow you to improve your workouts!
