There comes a time when it all of it becomes boring. When this happens, there’s always a few small things we can do to slowly get out of the mentality of life behaving like a boring desk job on a Monday morning and give us that boost we need to go on and chase our dreams.
Host a get together for your friends
It need not be a grand affair
- Invite a couple of friends over for a board game, drinks, snacks, or just for some catching up.
- The atmosphere will be invigorating and leave you pumped for the next week to start
Surprise a loved one
Pay a small surprise visit to your family if they live close by.
- Take your significant other out for a good movie and dinner, or stay in and cook them their favorite meal.
- Write a small letter and slip it in their pocket before they go to work.
Go back to a familiar place of your past
Nostalgia is a wonderful thing. Visit the place where you grew up, or where you spent your school/college days.
Do something you are afraid of doing
Fear is an emotion that will get you out of the boredom you’re facing, if nothing else does
Take a long drive
Relax and take in all the freshness and peace you can.
Spend some time with yourself
Take some time off and spend it with yourself.
- Shut that phone off and cook, sleep, binge watch movies, or meditate. There’s nothing as important as some peace of mind in a stressed-out, over-competitive world.
An unplanned trip to a destination close by
Call your friends up and decide on a short trip over the weekend.
Strike a conversation with someone you don’t normally talk to
It could be anywhere- in your office during lunch, or on the internet (where you spend a lot of time). Talking to someone about random things and finding out your similarities is always fun.
Re-arrange or re-furnish a room
Our surroundings add to our feeling of boredom from the same old routine
- Try re-arranging the living room, bedroom, or any other room that you normally relax in to make it look and feel fresh
Buy something that you’ve always wanted to
You remember the time you walked into your favorite store and really liked a dress, suit, shoes, or bag they had on display, but you let it go because you thought it was too expensive? Treat yourself and buy that thing.
Write out your feelings
Take some time off, sit back, and reflect.
