Lead a More Interesting Life

We all find our lives becoming a little boring sometimes, so we look for something more interesting. Kentin Waits of Wise Bread shares some ideas to make your life more interesting. I believe you will add a few joyful moments to your life if you follow the following suggestions.

1. Plan a mini-trip

Explore new places near your hometown. Search the web for interesting places to see. You don’t have to travel far or spend a lot of time or money to make the most of the miles you go.

2. Move to the beat of a different drummer.

Tired of listening to the same old songs? Applications like Spotify allow users to preview different artists and listen to entire albums for free. Spotify can also make suggestions for other songs based on the genres you enjoy most. Maybe your search for variety will reveal a whole new musical interest!

3. Make something interesting.

Try your hand at crafting. Explore making simple recyclable crafts for kids or try reconnecting with a skill you already have. Pinterest is a great place to search for quick and simple projects.

4. Perform random acts of kindness.

Make your day more interesting by giving someone else’s mood a little lift. Research in positive psychology shows that doing something unexpected and kind has benefits for you as well as others. Try holding the door for someone, send a thank you e-mail, or try composing a love letter to a stranger.

5. Volunteer!

Is there a better way to make your day more interesting than to be part of the change you want to see in the world? Consider the local groups who do good work in your community. Reach out to them and offer your time and talent. If you are unsure where to start, do some online research.

6. Say ‘Bonjour! Ciao! Hallo!’

Learn how to greet someone in a new language. It’s quick and easy to acquire a few simple phrases like ‘How are you?’ and ‘Thank you’ in another language. Once you’ve mastered some phrases, find someone to practice them with. You will possibly make a new friend in a faraway place!
