Can't believe I haven't blogged in 5 months!
- Learning to play an instrument. A highly rewarding experience that'll frustrate and delight you in equal parts.
- Taking risks. If you don't try, you'll never know. Plus, those who never made a mistake never made anything worthwhile
- Learning to drive. It'll give you independence and allow you to travel. If you can afford to do it, it's a no brainer.
- Watching live music, sports, etc. There's nothing better than supporting your home town team or feeling the buzz of singing your favourite songs along with thousands of like-minded people.
- Falling in love. We all know the deal with this one. It comes to most of us in one way or another and at various points in life. Just go with it.
- Having your heart broken. Yep, numbers 7 and 8 go together hand in hand, pretty much. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, eh!
- Pursuing new hobbies. If something interests you, give it a go! You never know where it might take you. It could even end up being your new career.
- Reading. We constantly see this mentioned and for good reason, too! Knowledge is power, and the more you have, the better off you'll be.
- Taking a walk. It helps to clear your mind and, in the right environment, it can reconnect you with nature. Plus, it functions as good exercise.
- Doing something random. You don’t say?! So, get out there. Give yourself a chance, and do something different!
- Writing. It doesn't have to be War and Peace, but try writing a blog, an answer on Reddit or Quora, or a post on LinkedIn. Get good at expressing yourself, as communication is key in all aspects of life!
- Travelling. Staying in the same town / city you were born in does you no favours! Get out there and see the world, even if it’s just to other towns and cities in your own country.
- Indulging sometimes in a guilty pleasure. And by indulging in a guilty pleasure I mean having a bar of chocolate or your favourite treat now and then. Keep it clean!
- Getting out of your comfort zone. We all get stuck in ruts from time to time. Sometimes, you've gotta get out of your cage, to semi-quote The Killers. You’ll do just fine. ;)
- Making mistakes. I know I alluded to this in no.2, but it really is important. If you don't make mistakes then you'll never try anything new.
- Taking time to recharge. Modern life is fast-paced and can be overwhelming at times. Take breaks and rest your body and mind.
- Learning to let go. Does this one really need explaining?
- Taking a moment to appreciate the small things. Take a moment to look up and appreciate the moon and stars; your family members around you, and the little things that make life worth living.
