we all go through a phase in our everyday life when the usual things we do become so boring, so irritating so monotonous that we do not want to do them anymore… we do not want to be part of that daily routine life anymore…. and we do not know what can be done to change things.. because most of it looks like its not in our control…

some examples…

  • i hate to get up early in the morning… its such a pain…
  • i hate to take that same chartered to office.. or that bus to college is so crap…
  • i just cannot do this job anymore.. its taking me no where…
  • my job is so boring….
  • i do not have anything worthwhile to do in the evening… all day work and then nothing.. it sucks…
don’t all of us go through something of this sort.. almost very regularly…

i also do…

and what do i do to take care of this..

well

  • either i can crib…
  • or i can keep quite and keep things inside me and keep getting troubled
  • or i can think of something that changes things…
like…

if i have problems getting up in the morning… i might think of doing something first thing in the morning that excites me… to start with listen to an alarm that is nice ( this might need a phone where you can change alarms as your favorite songs)

or go to the radio.. and listen to my favorite station…

or just get out of the house and take a walk around the neighbourhood…

or switch on my PC and run the cartoon that i love to love..

if i do not like the way i travel everyday…
then…

i can take a different bus.. maybe a bus 10 minutes earlier then usual…

i can take a different route if i am driving myself…

listen to the tapes that i bought 3 years ago.. and have not heard in a long while…

or spend time over the weekend recording my favorite numbers and then listen to them in my walkman or discman…

or give one of my old friends a quick 10 minute call… wonderful way to catch up…

ok..what was the next problem?

hmm… i do not like my work at office…

well there are times that this cannot be changed… too bad we cannot choose our own bosses and work profiles( at times)

so what can be done…

do the same work.. but Innovate !!! try new ways of reporting data… change the fonts that you use… think about naming conventions for your files… and so on and so forth…

try new things in doing the same activity…

shift your desk as well…

try facing the window if you have one.. and look outside when u do not feel like working…

walk upto the person you like talking to at times and go for a cuppa tea together.. .

about evenings now…

call up old friends.. those 10 minutes do wonders…

work out for 10-20 minites..

pick up an activity… like drawing.. sketching.. learning to play an instrument.. swim… go to the gym… that makes you spend time outside the house…

make sure you are the one who prepares salad for dinner ( thats all that i can do hence this idea)

read.. and then share it with someone who would listen to you…

i am sure there are a million other ways to improve our lives… but there ARE WAYS… we just need to look around.. and find them out for ourself…

treasure hunt…

isn’t life one?
