How do you make your life more exciting?

Not sure if you've got the right sub for this but here goes.

You're in a rut. Try something new. Do you always run one way? Run a different one. Favorite lunch? Not anymore. In a boring relationship? Can it.

If you're bored of what you're doing try something else. Learn to play the bassoon. How to cross stich beloved childhood characters like Aladdin and Robert DeNiro. Make a new friend. Find new music.

Just. All of the things that you do outside of like... Work, school, fitness. All of those. If you're bored of it just stop. Maybe even look for a new job if you're bored of yours.

Kayaking, hiking, diving, snowboarding, surfing! Go out there and find your flowstate and go to places where you will meet people with a similar mindset or the same hobby as you. And last but not least go to a fucking rave or a music festival!

Hey man I understand exactly how you're feeling. Even when improving yourself, the routine can sometimes get a bit stale. My advice, change it up. Skip a club weekend and go to a meetup instead and try seeing some new people in different environments. I also go to the gym, work, then university on top of it all. My week is packed, but on the weekend, I look at things and say "hmm.. Why the fuck not. Worth a try" and I go and do something new or something not so new that's fun to me like saturday morning baseball with a meetup group. The cool thing about that too is that new people are always showing up so it's fucking great. Change up your meals, your routines. Try a whole bunch of new things. You make your life more interesting by throwing shit at the wall and keeping the things that stick.

I think the issue is how your are compartmentalizing the aspects of your life. You can make your life more excited/interesting by making the most out of each way you spend your time (i.e.Work, Gym, Sleep). Everyone should be able to enjoy certain aspects of their job. Part of that is finding a job that has that attribute. Within the realm of work you can: learn new skills, network with other interesting people in your industry, and hone your mental and professional self. Take the best of the skills you learn and people you meet and leverage them into fun experiences. When you get off work, keep the momentum going- delve into learning more about that one little thing you thought was cool today at work. Make plans to take part in a friend from work's hobby,focus tonight's dinner into a difficult recipe, take notes, learn things! That and more is really what 'Work' should be. Most adult people work at least 40 hours a week, so even if your work is 28 hours a week, put more time in to opportunities work presents and get an exponential amount more out of it!

Gym: Pick-up sports? See certain regulars often? Make friends, share interests, involve them in your life. Maybe they introduce you to a sport or activity you never knew knew you were amazing at! Having a wide base of people you spend time with shows higher value and exposes you to a wider variety of people.

Sleep: You are at your best when well-rested- mentally and physically (tiredness shows)! Never underestimate how much value a good bed and peaceful environment can improve your day to day life.

"Rest is a weapon." -Jason Bourne [Robert Ludlum]

You would have more to talk about if you knew more people and had more a wider array of interests.

EDIT: words

Go do exciting things.

iAmKayzey · 2016-02-01T03:05:16+00:00

Hmm, try spending a week in the "fuck it" mindset. If you're contemplating something, say fuck it and do it. Things will get a lot more interesting from there

What are your hobbies?

OneBrainArmy · 2016-01-31T23:22:36+00:00

I'd suggest getting more in touch with nature.

iamcoolstephen1234 · 2016-02-01T01:39:07+00:00

Travel. For a week's vacation or two, fly somewhere foreign and have an adventure. Do something that scares you. Try different food. Talk to strangers. Do things outside. Don't make plans further than a couple days out (except maybe the flight back home) and take it day by day. Learn about the area or the history or the people. Meet locals. Experience more.

Risks.

sed9499 · 2016-02-01T14:40:24+00:00

Do exciting things. Ask yourself what you're afraid of, and then do that (within reason). Are you afraid of making a speech? Join Toastmasters. You afraid of being in a leadership position and dealing with people? Volunteer yourself as a tour guide or something, or volunteer as a tutor for kids or to teach for free whatever you do as your job.

Also, do what you want to do, try to make your dream into a reality. I doubt you're in your dream job. Maybe you secretly wanted to be a writer, or an actor. Okay, so do that on the side: join a writers group, start writing fan-fiction, start learning how to write TV scripts, etc. Or join your community theatre group and take some acting lessons. Take it seriously, but on the side - maybe 5 years from now it will grow into your new career.

You can also try the cliche exciting stuff, like kayaking/climbing etc. Maybe you'll love it - it's certainly good for your body (cardio at the least) anyway. Force yourself to read books you wouldn't ordinarily read to see if you like them, make your vacations worthwhile: don't just go to the beach in Mexico, go to some lesser-known archaeological site in Peru or Turkey or something and blog about it.

I'd fix that "most weekends" bit. Are you tied down geographically? Like in college or something, with deadlines that require you to be physically present?

If you're in the US, go take a Southwest flight somewhere (RyanAir if in Europe). Anywhere. Approach women in that city. Mix it up.

daddymonsterpoodle · 2016-02-03T09:32:38+00:00

Nope, it doesn't. Why don't you answer the question yourself, what could You do to make your life more exciting. A small word of advice though,being unemployed might be exciting, but sometimes the excitement of 'how do I afford to eat this week' is not all its cracked up to be. The gym is boring. Work, whatever it is will eventually have moments of boring. Read 'what color is my parachute?'

do drugs. hit on chicks.

Quit your job this week and make plans to be in a new city (or even new country, depending on how much money you have saved up) before April. Who gives a fuck what your boss, co-workers, friends, or family think? I think suggestions like going to meetups and trying out a new activity are good, but if you want to be interesting you have to do something crazy and stop playing it safe. Everyone wants a magic pill answer like "well just go to this type of cooking class that meets on Thursdays". But being interesting and charismatic takes some balls. So do something crazy and completely change your environment- quit your job and get the hell out of dodge- dedicate your life to becoming the world's greatest painter or starting a startup company or whatever you think about when you're going to bed at night. You'll be surprised at how few material possessions and how little money you need to get laid :)

Quit your 9-5 job and do something else.
