Is your daily routine starting to get too predictable?

       A new semester starting, a new beginning where you live your life for the next several months with the same timings everyday, the same routine. It can be very easy for people who live by the standards of most people, that is, following the trends and the ways of the majority as it is logical for them that; this is the right way to go about.
  
       Fortunately not me, as I've learned throughout my experiences is that life is what we make of it, and not what other people decide for us to be life. I can't disagree that in some contexts, it is mostly better to follow the mass crowd but when it concerns your life and the way you live, I think you can decide that on your own if you are not in any ways neglecting the social norms which would eventually turn you in a social outcast if you persist.

      Here I'm speaking about how to spice up your life so that you don't feel like you are the same as the other ants working and living the same routines everyday. How can we make as if everyday is a new day with loads of exciting things to discover, to experience? How about we inject some new blood in this imagination of ours who already been corrupted by our traditions and habits?

      I'm not saying not to do anything that goes against your principles but rather how to tune it so that you feel special within yourself, you know you've aims to accomplish and everyday you try to find new ways, new tactics to achieve them?  I bet it gonna be as exciting & awesome as you might think.

Let's Consider this questions and ponder over them: Is your daily routine starting to get too predictable?

It’s not necessarily that what you do is boring. Routines have their purpose. Many people like them, as it gives some comfort and security. However, sometimes it gets too comfortable and leads to a lack of action.

Here are a few simple things you can do, without altering your routine too much. I am not suggesting that you consider all of them! Depending on your personality and life style there may be things you might/might not want to try out.

1. Vary your travel routine. Do you always take the train to work? Can you take the bus instead? Do you vary it much, if at all?

2. Do you always read the sports page first? Change your reading routine.

3. Vary your television and radio routine. Never watch TV at 3 am? You’ll be amazed at what’s on!

4. Go to a strange restaurant or go to a familiar restaurant and order something totally different from your usual.

5. Try out a new recipe you've been meaning to try.

6. Get up on the other side of your bed (if there’s no wall!)

7. Always eat cereal for breakfast? Try some fruits with it or have something different for a change.
