DO SOMETHING NEW DAILY; IT COULD BE FUN

When last did you wake with the mission to do something new? Intentionally set a new trend for your day?

When last did you intentionally do something random or new. Something outside your schedule?
I woke up this morning with a mission: Do something new, try something different. I wasn\’t quite certain what it would be but I knew I had to do something out of my routine for a change.

To say my life is very one dimensional would be putting it mildly. And while having routine and set plans for your day is perfect, sometimes it is the easiest way to get ‘bored’ with life, doing everything on replay, tends to breed comfortability and well, you just somehow miss out on the fun of life.

So I started the day by not wearing an article of black 😭(well except my socks of course)…. and boy did that hurt so bad, lol. This was a shock to my image because black is my clutch pad, and so to walk around without black i felt very exposed, but oh well, nothing happened.

I took a walk by myself. I now what you are thinking, no this was not an easy feat. Why you ask? Well, 9 out of 10 times I take walks it is because someone has forced me to go somewhere with them, (I stay at home too much) and while this seems very basic, it was actually nice to just walk without a set destination in mind, I even noticed some building I have been walking past and for some reason never saw till today.

This allowed me collect my thoughts and actually breathe, being indoors all the time kind of clogs your mind without you realising it.

The last thing I attempted today was reaching out to some friends I haven’t talked to in a while. There is this plague we have going around in our generation, where we “see” each other on social media and that seems to be enough, we no longer check in, because we feel, “they must be alright if they have an online presence” and we all know how false that is. So reaching out to people and asking them “HOW ARE YOU DOING?” because you genuinely care is something we should a attempt every now and again. Trust me it feels good.

The week is still fresh, do something new each day for the week and see how that feels, It could be anything, from changing your dress style, to eating better, or sleeping early, giving yourself a treat, you name it. Just do something out of the norm for yourself, because you can.

Do not get too consumed by the activities of life and your to-do list, take a moment or two to enjoy the basic things around you. It is your life, you set the pace.

Taking the time out to do something new is a form of self discovery, you get to try new things and realise “oh why haven’t I done this before now? I should definitely do this more often” “or now way I am ever trying this again” do not leave yourself stuck in a box you have created by yourself. every now and again, take a step out.

PS. WHEN LAST DID YOU TRY SOMETHING NEW? WHAT WAS IT AND HOW DID YOU FEEL AFTERWARDS?

YOU ARE LOVED. YOU ARE AMAZING. YOU ARE STAY.

STAY SHINING AND NEVER DULL YOUR SHINE.
