Women's Life Link Be Well, Be Happy, Be YOU!
We all get into a slump occasionally. This can happen in our work, health, family, or love life. Additionally, these “slumps” can bleed over into all areas of life. This can be described as burnout, boredom, or disinterest. It’s important to keep life fresh and exciting. We do this by making plans to have fun and experience enjoyable company and activities.
I do understand that life circumstances like illness, accidents, or other challenges can get in the way of more enjoyable experiences. In this case, we must be gentle with ourselves and do what we can to feel good and motivated. Regardless of where you are in life, you can always put forth some effort to stir things up. Here are some actions for renewed life-motivation.
Start a New Hobby
Even if you are perfectly happy with your life, I recommend that you start a new hobby occasionally. Even if you don’t keep it up for a long period of time, taking up something new gives your brain a boost and can be extremely rewarding. I recommend choosing something creative, physically active, and intellectual. Of course, you don’t have to do all of these at once, unless you want to.
Do Something Fun
If you can, do some of the things that you have always wanted to do or have left in the past. Maybe you want to learn to fly a plane. There is likely a flight school near you, especially if you have a small airport in your town. How about skiing, rock climbing, or simply hiking in your local park? All of these things will not only bring a sense of adventure to your life but help you stay fit.
Do Something Big
In life, there are big things that usually make a huge difference in how you live and feel. These milestones include things like buying a home, getting married, having a baby, and changing jobs. Maybe this is the year for you to make one of these big changes. If you haven’t really thought about making a big change, take a moment to consider what you want. If the time is right, start taking steps to make it happen. And, sometimes, knowing that you’re working toward something can be the most exciting thing of all.
Start Something New
Have you always dreamed of starting your own company but have been putting off taking action? First, consider why you may be hesitating. Are you afraid of failure or losing something? Starting something new like a business or relationship can be terrifying for everyone. Don’t beat yourself up for waiting or being afraid. The key, however, is to make a plan that works for your life. Show yourself that these dreams are possible.
The truth is, the fear may not go away, which means courage is required in order to move forward. In other words, be afraid but do it anyway! I have found that the things we fear are usually the things that make the most positive impact on us. Just doing something new also motivates us in a fresh way for the future and cultivating bigger dreams.
