As humans we are creatures of habit. Generally we like having routines and a sense of pattern to our life. However sometimes this can be too much of a good thing to the extent that we just get a bit bored with the same old routine. So here are a few ideas to create variety and new energy in your everyday life.
1. Try driving a different way to work, try walking to work, try busing or grabbing a ride with a work colleague.
2. Try buying a magazine you have never bought before and usually wouldn’t dream of buying. For instance if you’re a female buy the M2 men’s magazine. If you usually buy the weekly gossip mags how about trying NZ Business or National Geographic – just something really new and different.
3. If you always get up and have a shower before breakfast try it the other way round – have breakfast then a shower! How about something different to eat for breakfast? If you always have a particular type of muesli try a different sort or make yourself an omelete.
4. Do you always drink your gin with lemon? Well how about with lime instead?
What is something you’ve always done the same old way? Time for a change or a new slant?
