You wake up. Take a bath. Go to college or work. Come back. Rest and then Sleep. Is this what your daily routine looks like? This coupled with the occasional outings and parties?
Are you bored with your monotonous life and the daily humdrums? Do you feel that you need some drama, some excitement, and some ‘fun’ in your life? If you answered all these with a Yes, then I think it is time that someone sat you down and gave you a good talk about enjoying and exploring the fun side of yourself.
We all have been living in a nutshell if we compare our lives to that of others. The world is a huge place and most of it is unexplored, just the way our life is. So, even if these are baby steps, we have to take them so that we can see what lies beyond the realm we have so carefully limited ourselves to.
1. GO ON A VACCATION –
Because, nothing speaks enjoyment as a tour to a distant land with people you love and care about. Take out the atlas, close your eyes and point your finger to a place-and that is your next destination. Take a backpack, get some cash, plan a little and embark on a journey of self discovery.
“I think travelling does wonders to people. You go out, you see a place that makes you feel so nice and complete and you do not want to leave that place. It is important that we go out more often. Also, trips we take all by ourselves can be even better.”- says Sanddep, who is a travel bug.
2. TRY ADVENTURE SPORTS-
Your whole life will pass by if you are too scared to follow your heart’s desire. There are so many adventure sports you can do- sky diving, paragliding, bungee jumping, scuba diving and much more that will give you the adrenaline rush and pump you need to move ahead in life with a renewed energy.
“I recently did bungee jumping from Macao tower and trust me that was the best feeling ever. I did not want to do it initially, but, in the end I did and I don’t regret it even a bit” – says Vedika Kejriwal.
3. MEET NEW PEOPLE-
Make a random plan with the person you just chatted with in the metro. Have a long chat with the person you see every day on your way to work. Go to a coffee shop and meet a new person with whom you have nothing in common. The more new people you meet, the more you will know and learn about life (but, make sure you are safe first). You need to let yourself go and for once soak in the beauty of words of wisdom from someone else.
4. LET GO-
Have you ever wanted to do things you are too ashamed or scared of? Go with the flow, go where the wind takes you and only then you shall know what it is like to live.
“You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching,
Love like you’ll never be hurt,
Sing like there’s nobody listening,
And live like it’s heaven on earth.”
-William W.Purkey
Yes, it might be little tough to do all these things in the spur of the moment, but they are just a step forward in making yourself realize that no matter what, life is beautiful. Somewhere in leading the busy life and concentrating on people around us, we forget to pamper ourselves and making ourselves feel loved the way we deserve. Remember, you alone can make yourself happy, others are just another chapter and it’s time to turn the page.
