At some point, we will all find our lives becoming a little monotonous, mundane or just lacking a spark. It’s all perfectly normal and even those with the most exciting and coveted of lifestyles will find themselves a little down in the dumps occasionally. Some people are lucky and are able to just implement a drastic change by moving to a new career, a new country or changing a partner. For many others, these radical changes aren’t desirable or even necessary as all that’s needed is a little fizz, some effervescence to make life a little more entertaining. With that in mind, here are some life tweaks to get your mojo back.
Find a craft
Reacquainting yourself with a talent you’ve not used in a long time, or developing a new aptitude to create, can fill you with a new sense of purpose and improve cognitive development. If you can’t decide as to which craft is most appropriate for your particular skill set, just spend some time on Pinterest and look at the creations others are attempting. Just a word of warning, what you attempt might not look exactly the same as it did in the picture, reality vs. Pintrest shows that practise makes perfect!
Have a flutter
Wherever you are in the world it’s now possible to bring the excitement of Vegas to your phone, tablet or computer. Online casinos have become huge and as well as having fun playing the slots, blackjack or roulette, you could make some serious cash. Don’t forget to find the best deal, as you can find huge bonuses at some of the more prestigious online casinos, including double your deposit deals, free slot spins, raffles and free chips. If you remember to gamble responsibly, this could be just the ticket to add some spark to your day.
Find a new band/singer to love
Living life to the drum of the same beat everyday is bound to become tedious, so why not change your rhythm by finding a new soundtrack to your life. Sites like TheMusicNinja or Music-Alerts offer a horde of new music to sample, from every genre you can think of. If the massive selection is too much to choose from, you can use sites such as Gnoosic, where you can enter your favourite bands/singers and they’ll make recommendations for you to listen to.
Random acts of kindness
Being a little more altruistic can have a profound influence on the lives of others and your feelings. You don’t need to go full-Scrooge and start giving everything away, just perform a few simple deeds that will be appreciated by a stranger or someone already in your life. Studies have found that people who engage in regular selfless acts create in themselves, a lasting satisfaction that could be just the thing to put the spring back in your step. If you can’t think of anyone to strike with your kindness and are apprehensive about approaching a stranger, you can find an organisation worthy of your attention at the Australian Charity Guide.
Whatever your mood or situation, there’s something out there to make it just that little bit better. Don’t be afraid to try something new and you could turn that frown upside down and be in a state of perpetual bliss.
