You wake up, you probably don't have a job, you check your mails, no job offering yet, your boyfriend isn't calling, you check your fridge, same ol'same ol', nothing new, you turn on the tv, you've seen this movie before, your library looks a little old, you've read them all before. You look in the mirror, now you have a problem with your nose, your eyebrows just need to be trimmed. You hate your ties, you need to change your wardrobe, there are a few messages on your bbm that you need to answer to, your friends want to hang out again, same friends, same place, same food, same jokes, you're back home, dinner, bedtime. The end.
Or maybe you do have a job or you run a company, then mails mails mails, meetings meetings meetings, customer visits, same customer, same order, same annoying colleagues, same furniture, same coffee table same opening and closing hour....you're bored.
Or perhaps you're married, same...you're probably thinking, gosh! Forever is long, is this all it's going to be?
let's just stop...do we always have to wait for excitement to fall on our laps?
Only the living can have them, thank God for life. Here are a few suggestions to put some excitement into your routine.
- Don't just sit around complaining and waiting for someone to do something exciting, you can start something different. Be the flavour, even if others don't reciprocate, you'll at least be doing yourself a favour "Your own soul is nourished when you are kind"...even to your S.O
- Buy a small gift for someone, why? No reason..just do it...tip the pizza boy, get your colleague a lumbar back support, order cakes for your team members out of the blues, even if it's just once in a year that you do this...hehe
- Ask yourself "What have I done today in the direction of my purpose on earth?"...This one works all the time, always do something, consciously, about fulfiling your purpose on earth, if you don't know what to do, think about it, that too would be out of the box and super useful in helping you attain the life of your dreams.
- Play with your food, maybe it's the same meal, but you can plate it differently, even if it means using your spoon to split the rice in 4 different portions on the same plate. Mix flavours, get new dishes or cutlery, etc
- Take selfies, it's amazing how it's the same you but you're different in every picture, call your friends together to take pictures too.
- Never stop learning...look for something new to learn everyday. From the arts to the kitchen, to sciences and law, make up, seminars, how to series, self-help series, family life and parenting books...etc...go crazy...just learn, you never know when you might need them, and you may be learning for somebody too, learning to save a life, learning even for your unborn kids...
- Move furniture..same furniture but when they change positions, you get a different feel. Some of you know what I'm saying...hehe
- Try a new look ladies, especially, don't be afraid to play with your hair...it costs little to nothing to achieve.
- Love yourself more, date yourself, treat yourself right, and if you're married, you know 'yourself' here refers to your Significant Other..yep, you're one body
- Call your friends and family on the phone, or do a small get-together, doesn't have to be elaborate, it doesn't have to be your birthday, have a slumber party, come together to watch a cooking video and try out stuff... Friends and family may seem boring but they may never go away..sometimes, they're all you really got
If you have anymore suggestions, feel free to paste them in the comments section. They'll be very much appreciated.
You're alive, you have energy, you have a chance to be everything you want to be, don't blame your dormancy on any routine, you have our own destiny to fulfill here, be positive and go about it with excitement.
The joy that God gives you, is your strength.
