Simple things to break monotony of life

There are simple ways to break one’s monotony. Doing the same thing day in and day out not is not  something one looks forward to but if done in different ways it can become interesting. Here are a few suggestions. 

1. Re-positioning the furniture

This not only gives one the opportunity to clean places hitherto inaccessible it gives the feeling that  one is in a new environment – surely something that will add a feeling of newness.  

 

2.One does not have to eat at the dining table every day.

This could be done in a buffet style, in the garden if one has a garden or even in the kitchen. 

 

3. Cooking differently

Even if it is the staple food that can be cooked differently. 

 

4. Changing one’s hairstyle or dressing differently

There are those who stick to one style by changing it does contribute to freshness around

 

5. Having guests over

 

6. Spring cleaning the house.

The results one sees after the chore is enough to last a lifetime.

 

7. Visiting the sick or even an old age home

    • Yes. I do agree with you. Everything is in our hands. But, the item No.4 which is relating to style appears to be not possible. One can not change a style. It is an inherent quality. It comes by birth. But, a fashion can be changed at any time as per our whims and fancy. One more thing is that we can change the place of eating. We can take dinner in the Garden if it is there or outside the house in a verandah. There are some restrictions where one should not take food either lunch or dinner. The Hall, a guest room, and a kitchen. One should never eat sitting on a cot. These are some of the things one should always remember and should bear in mind.

    • These are practical way of breaking the monotony of life instead of just drinking liquor and wine in the streets that will bring you in trouble until you are club and punched. We don't need to spend more money just to enjoy our live. Me and my wife sometime go for biking along the coastal road.

    • The best part for me is travel even in a short distance. If time is so tight, I find time walking from my home to town proper. I do agree that we need to break free from monotonous routine. If don't do this, it is most likely will lead do boredom in life.

      That's the reason why some people took a time-off from work. It will really drain all the energy if there is no relaxation time. Once you had a quick vacation, life will be back to normal again.

      • I remember my mentioning to my boss that I was going on holiday a luxury which we all deserve and to this his reply was that a holiday is not a luxury but a necessity.

    • Wow I love this article. I already feel something different cropping up within me. You have actually opened up my eyes to great ideas. Just like they say a change is just as good as a rest. I sometimes try to interchange my furniture in the house and it does make th3 place look different and friendlier. I will start doing things a little differently from now on to give myself the fresh feeling and start. Thanks for sharing this.4

      • I am glad this blog inspired you to doing more than what you are already doing to break the monotony of life. Do not forget to squat on the floor and have your food with your loved ones. And see how you feel :grin:

    • You say right that still mater is stagnant water and very soon gets bad smell just like human life without change life is a stagnant water. Change is must to enjoy life day and night because human mind wants change daily in daily activities.

      Change can come in many forms in our lives. It might come forcefully like a tidal wave, or creep along incrementally like a glacier. It might come in the form of devastating tragedy, difficult choices, broken relationships, or even new opportunities.

      Many times, the only way to improve our lives is to force ourselves to undergo difficult change. That might mean breaking up and leaving a stale – but comfortable – relationship, leaving a mediocre – but stable – job, moving away from a nice – but uninspiring – location, or anything else that’s holding us back from accomplishing our dreams.

      I have plenty of things to entertain me. I have plenty of hobbies. I have plenty of people to talk to. I have plenty of friends. I am working towards a career that I dreamt of since I was 8.

      I have plenty of things to keep my brain busy; in fact to be entirely honest, with the amount of things I have going on in my life at the moment, I shouldn’t even have time to condition my hair twice every time I wash it (two words- curly hair).

      Set yourself a challenge which has no association to your conventional everyday routine, and is a project for pure personal satisfaction and self-approbation. Oh and don’t forget to set a deadline, and focus energies on meeting it.

      Find a new hobby. Something you have never tried out before, something fresh, something invigorating, something out of the box, something that involves you going out of your comfort zone. Surprise yourself!

      Go for a long walk, or even better a run. A dose of fresh air and endorphins sure clears the head and gives most a buzz like nothing else.

      Make a list of all your goals. Re-evaluate it on a regular basis, because sometimes with the changes in life, our priorities change. No point in sticking to an unproductive and fruitless part of your daily routine just out of habit.
