Life can sometimes get into a repetitive cycle, through no fault of our own, where you’re doing the same things from the moment you wake up in the morning till you go to bed at night. I mean, we got to do what we got to do.



This can happen especially when you are in the prime of your life and you have to juggle between work and personal life. This can leave very little time for yourself and the stuff you would actually love to do.

The result is that you can get kind of bored with your life. That is common in us humans because historically, we have been more of an explorative species who seek adventure. 



Ergo, it is of prime importance that we incorporate some changes in our daily routines or we might end up like robots, doing the same things over and over. Let’s see what we can do.



1. Start Working Out

This is something I have started doing only recently and let me tell you, it works! People used to tell me all the time that if we workout, we are more active and energetic throughout the day.



And, even though I knew the science behind it, somewhere in the back of my mind, I was like, “yeah, right!”. Turns out I was wrong and science wins again. Nowadays I really feel more active and ‘myself’ since I’ve started working out and it gives me something to look forward to everyday. 


It doesn’t even have to be too strenuous or time taking. Just take out half an hour from your schedule and you’ll notice the change yourself. And stop telling yourself that you are too busy, because I used to do that too and turns out, I am not!



2. Do Something Creative

Again, we are an intelligent species and therefore, we long for creation and discovery. Doing the same tasks everyday that doesn’t make use of our inherent creativity can make us feel like we are missing out on something.



There are a lot of different ways you can do something creative. You could just draw something random, or make a painting, or play a guitar or write an article about your innermost thoughts. 



It boils down to what you want to do because we are all unique and have different abilities. So, make use of those abilities and start a hobby that you’d want to do everyday. It will surely make your days less boring and more productive and interesting. 



3. Cultivate Friendship

I speak from experience when I say (type?) that it is easy to drift away from even your best friends after college and once you start working. In the pursuit of our dreams and aspirations, we sometimes tend to ignore some of the other important aspects of our lives.



Friends are one such aspect. They are our support system and people with whom we can share anything, whose mere presence is enough to lift your mood after a rather testing day. 



But, once you’ve settled into your life, it is worth revisiting and cultivating that friendship even though it may seem awkward at first. These days social media makes it really easy to do so and you can get back in touch with your buddies. It’ll surely knock down the boredom. 



4. Take Some Time Outs

Everyone deserves a break from time to time. Even machines face wear and tear and we are only living, breathing beings. It is not surprising why we feel like taking breaks more often these days given how we are becoming more like robots which our bodies are simply not made for.



Therefore, it is very important that we ensure regular down time to let ourselves recharge. Weekends usually do the job but even then we seldom let ourselves rest. If anything, they are more consuming. No wonder Mondays are always the most hated.



We should take proper time outs and use this to reinvigorate ourselves. If you want, you could even take a mini vacation of sorts and travel to some place quiet which is healing for the body, mind and soul!

All of these changes, if introduced in your life, will not only help you make your life more adventurous but they will also have positive impact on your physical as well as mental health. This will be highly beneficial in the long run as you will be prevented from burning yourself out. Also, as the saying goes, you'll be adding more life to your days AND more days to your life as well.
