How To Actually Spice Up Your Life?
How to actually spice up your life? What is successful living? How do we reach the state of being in the moment with contentment not caring about the past, the future, nor the world around us? There are some strategies out there and I thought it would be fun to talk about today my namesake expression I really love using allot, how to actually spice up our lives ?
WHAT IS HAPPINESS
Narratives are changing about what actually defines happiness and success, for a long long time and still for many earning a ton of dollars jump straight into their head, which without any criticism very important. Although some of the best things in life don’t cost a thing, like connecting and caring, laughter, love, time, health sadly living on this planet such as clean water, electricity, heating, shelter isn’t free by default.
When it’s about our activity we make our earning with takes up our entire day makes us thinking a lot what is actually important? Many people nowadays would choose something they have a passion for. They would rather be involved in projects they feel personally attached and is close to their heart so they can submerge in a level of satisfaction over getting high salaries at the end of a horrid month, when oftentimes big chunk of that earnings are spent on recreation which serves as a compensation for “lost” and unfulfilled happy times.
Unfortunately, not many people in the position of being able to make smooth changes due to circumstances, nor consciously aware of what would be ones true passion where they can simultaneously contribute towards something meaningful, make a difference and earning money for a living.
This is the perfect place where our hobbies, interest, things we are good at comes handy!
I love exploring the topic of creativity and how being in the flow improves life, if you are interested you may want to check out the below article that explores the topic of being in the state of flow:
Switch off with something you love spending time with after a long week or at the end of a not so fulfilling day at work and create balance in yourself. This will help you to create a habit, enrich your life and improves its quality which can be a very good and stable foundation of a successful living, the one where we feel recharged, excited, energetic, passionate in the morning over feeling drained and already dull.
Here are some ideas how we can spice up our life and bring a splash of color into it.
1. NEVER EVER STOP LEARNING
Take each day with zest and excitement, learn, study, seek out opportunities for interesting conversation, watch documentaries that provokes your mind. Take on a hobby it can be something which you create with or simply expand your intellectual skills to gain more understanding of the world we live in.
If you are like me, you can’t be detached from your environment, and very much affected by colours, shapes, smells, information, people and places.
It is said that we are the average of the 5 people who surrounds us and ultimately we are the by-product of society if we look at the big picture. If this is true then certainly we are affected by our homes, things, including noises, pictures on walls, or a lack of, the interior and design we spend most of our days around, like offices, work places..so let’s grab this opportunity and shape our world into a place how we want it to look and feel like with a creative lifestyle approach. Change it, style it, shape it so we can find that inner place we are searching for and how it works best for our personality and style.
2. SAY YES TO OPPORTUNITIES
How long have you been postponing something you always wanted try or go? Just think about what is worst can happen, many hobbies come only with small investments, ultimately you can give away your tools or sell your instruments once you figured ..actually it isn’t for me. How else would you discover your hidden talents ?
More the things you start saying yes to, the more things you say no to those things that drowns you down and taking up space and time in your life but has a less charged effect on your energy level.
3. TRAVEL TRAVEL TRAVEL MORE
I think travelling is one of the most important thing in life. It gives such invaluable gifts to us and such a self-expanding experience whilst we learn so much about the world and each other.
It is time to pick destination you have never considered before or go on an exciting adventures instead of package holidays, it is perfect time to come out of your comfort zone and show a new side of you to the world. Here you come!
4. CHANGE IS GOOD - SEEK ADVENTURE
Don’t be afraid to change up your routine.Try new things! Cook something different, change your exercise, buy your favourite jumper in another color or try any of the DIYs if you are into that. Make all your Xmas presents yourself this year! The key when you are in a rut is to shake it up, get out of your comfort zone, make a commitment and make yourself try something you have never before no matter how simple the change is at first.
5. POWER OF MUSIC AND LAUGHTER
The reason why most of my fashion DIYs are quirky, unusual, fun and novelty items because I want to giggle when I look at them. Sometimes it is even better when others around me feel uplifted and smile. It is such a light hearted way of showing a bit of fun.
Listening to music and dancing to some type of music could be exciting to do each day, it can be a tendency where we accelerate our happiest memories, fun moments and positive self talk that brings a feeling a joy. Moving our body, laughing, finding a great tune are very easy tricks to make ourselves smile and spark good vibes and can also result in brilliant brainstorming DIY ideas.
