Spice up your LIFESTYLE

Class apart! ~spice it up!

Do you sometimes get the feeling that life is slipping away from you? It's probably a case of the "same-old, same-old" every day, wearing you down. If you feel as if you're on a treadmill, then I guess it's time to step off. It's time to get back that sense of wonder and energy for each new day. Who would stop you to look at your own routine, and choose one little thing to do differently each day to break out of this cycle!?

Routine is a silent killer. It’s a killer of interest in life, an energy sapper but, most of all, it keeps you from pursuing your dreams. When you do the same thing, day in, day out, on automatic pilot, from the exact time you wake up in the morning, to watching the same television show before you go to bed at night, your mind and desires literally shut down. After all, you’re not using them, and you can get by without them, right? But I know that, deep down, you want to do more than just "get by,"...and all you need to do is "get ahead!".

There's some corner of your mind where you've stashed those old dreams and aspirations. They're still there, waiting for you to dust them off and bring them to the light of day. What you need to do is break free of that deadly routine, reactivate your mind, and you'll rediscover the joy of life. You'll find the energy to once again pursue your dreams. As the American philosopher Amos Bronson Alcott said, "The less routine, the more life."

So, get the monotony out of your life for sometime...if you always get up at a certain time in the morning, try setting the alarm clock a little earlier, or a little later. Choose a different route to go to work. Try something different for a meal. Talk to a stranger. Take up an activity you used to enjoy doing, but somehow dropped along the way. You get the idea. It's these little breaks in routine that will help your mind shift, your perspective change, and start you back on the road to pursuing your dreams.

Time to spice up your Lifestyle! ;)
