How can we make our lives more interesting?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Do mundane things in a way you don’t usually do them. For example, start writing with your non-dominant hand, or go to work/school through a different route, or if you go by car, try walking. If you wear headphones while walking, take them off and listen to the random city noise. Listen to the music you’ve never considered listening before. Like, if you’re into country, try lowercase or death metal. Or vise versa. The more experimental the genre is, the more interesting it will be to listen to it for the first time. Bonus points if it is foreign, like in a foreign language or from a band outside the one you live in. Have walks with no definite plan. Just get out and walk around, let your legs carry you. Clean your room and rearrange the furniture. It will look weird for some time until your brain gets used to it. While you do that, you can see what you don’t need and throw it away. It will take you a lot of time to sort out what you don’t need and how to deal with it. Change the environment: get the curtains with different colours or something. Get a book. Any book. It will occupy you. Go to TV Tropes Here is one intersting page to start from. This thing is contagious, it will get you read for hours. Focus on having this day interesting, not the whole life. Have fun with these.
