4 ways to Refresh your Routine Life


We very often say that I am bored with my routine life or hear the same from others. What we really meant is, our day to day life has become very monotonous, repetitive. There is nothing new, exciting.  We simply feel stuck in our life because of our concerns like career, money, relation etc.

Based on my experience so far, I have found out four ways that help me in such situations. I would like to share with you on how to dodge your routine life:

  1. Get a new look: - I do remember, one of my friend had a complete makeover.  She did it because she had many issues on personal end and got frustrated with life, and she wanted some change in her life. Some may say that the situations won’t change merely changing the looks??  For them I would say, your looks are not only about what world see you. It is about how you feel for yourself, how do you identify yourself.  It is also about how you want others to perceive you. And believe me; it has helped her a lot. The whole act gave her a sense of confident and made her ready to face the challenges.
 
Even you must have experienced, that after having a good haircut, all the compliments come your way and along with the compliments. It brings happiness and feel of self confidence.  So wear a new look and get ready to face challenges.

  
2. Take a break: - It’s most known and implemented option. Take few days break as often as possible; explore new destinations, make adventurous trip else go wherever you will feel the change. But here is the gimmick, going out does not mean changing one hotel to other, seeing one location after other in stipulated time.  Don’t forget your intention of taking a break; dedicate quality time to introspect yourself.

They say in new environment, you get the solution very easily. So go ahead and enjoy your break, just don’t fail to remember the real purpose. Else it would be the same routine life after coming back from your so called break.


3. Lead more conscious life: - Saying again and again that I am bored with routine life, is like getting into a trap. Well it turns out into a vicious cycle, what we say, we feel and what we feel, we say.  It is like a boomerang. So be conscious about what you speak and what you feel. Initially we have to fake it but eventually it will become a habit. So fake it to make it. This exercise will lead you to more conscious life which in turns leads you to positive & happy life.


4. Spend an entire day in an orphanage
: - Some time, we just get so fuzzy with our expectations from life, which makes us more unsatisfied and restless. Thus we create it our routine life. We become so self-centered and we don’t see any positive. At this point I will say, visit an orphanage and spend some time with kids. You will realize that you are so privileged and full with life. You don’t have any right to be unsatisfied with life.

These are my secrets to dodge my routine life and I hope if you follow them you will feel the same and it will also help you to have a wonderful life.

Well, the list is endless and you too can add a few tips to the list.

Have a Grateful Day !!!


As Earth Day rolls out around the world, I would like to share an incredible video – Nature, Beauty, Gratitude. The other day I came across to this astonishing TED talk given by Louie Schwartzberg, an award-winning cinematographer, director and producer. 

Nature, Beauty, Gratitude


In daily life’s chaos, we overlook the Nature. We have become so mechanical, from the point we start in the morning till we drop on the bed at night. We fail to notice naive and mind blowing majesty of Nature. While we go closer and closer to nature, a real magic starts unfolding, as perfectly shown in time lapse photography.

Nature gives us in abundance. We are the one who have utilized it as and when required & in all possible forms. At the same time, we have conveniently neglected the fact that we owe to nature and we must give back. Most importantly, we forget to show our gratitude for Mother Earth for letting us to be a part of this wonderful nature. 

Let us pledge today to take care of mother earth forever. We will try to go closer as possible to nature and fall in love with it.  As very rightly quoted by Louie Schwartzberg, “Beauty and seduction, I believe, is nature’s tool for survival, because we will protect what we fall in love with.”

Have a Grateful Day ………
