When you're bored with your life, it affects your ability to be happy and enjoy your kids.
It’s not that you don’t have things going on in your life – you absolutely do.
It’s just that they’re same ol’ things over and over, right?
Wake up. Go pee. Check your email. Start breakfast. Wake up the kids. Pack lunches. Go back to drag the kids out of bed. Call them to the table. Get them dressed. Think about what to make for dinner. Make sure the kids have their backpacks…ugh.
It’s like there’s no excitement in your life. (Except for the times that the cat brings a lizard to your front door.)
If you want to bust out of the boredom and feel more excited about your life, my friend @tiasparkles suggests changing one thing.
Freshen up your life and get unstuck by making one small change a day.
Whether it`s taking a new route to work, stopping by a store you normally would not, buying flowers or calling a friend, doing something different everyday ups the creativity factor and can lead to new opportunities, ideas, experiences and insights.
I once made a list of all the little local shops I hadn’t visited, and then I started going to them for fun. Not all in one day…but on the way home from the post office I’d swing by and hang out in one of them for a few minutes and look around and then I’d leave.
Then on another day, instead of plopping down in front of the TV for a break after doing some writing, I’d go to another one of the stores on my list for a change of pace. It’s so much fun to check out little boutiques and I loved doing something new.
What can you do differently in your life to mix up your routine and habits a little bit?
What’s one little change to the way you do things that you could make TODAY? And what if you were to include your kids on some of your adventures?
