Ways To Swipe Away A Quotidian Routine!

    Ways To Swipe Away A Quotidian Routine!

Drabness may eclipse anyone in this day and age, as lives are getting squeezed due to the overwhelming population, prevalent phobia of Covid-19 pandemic and any of the chaos, conflict or social upheaval that flows through the generations. Sometimes there is a glimmer of hope and at other moments life seems to come to a halt. Extensively owing to the above reasons, the quotidian routine is tightening its grip on almost everyone. And victims are most likely those who have agreed to fall the prey of it. So, it's pretty natural these days that people give up easily. However, everyone should incessantly bear in mind that life is not just to be lived, it's to be enjoyed. Moreover, it needs a massive amount of courage and endeavors to bloom like a lotus amidst drudgery and hopelessness. Yes, admittedly, it's challenging, but not impossible! While keeping boredom at a glance, today, I will give you a few very simple, but mostly ignored tips to dazzle and embellish your life while tracking the rugged and uneven paths of existence. 

1. Express love to yourself 

You never know that you're your best role model, your finest inspiration. Nobody can motivate you the way, you can yourself. Therefore, always think positively. Try to explore yourself. Reflect profoundly and sincerely on the following questions:

• What am I looking for in life? 

• How can I accomplish that?
• What brings me happiness?
• How can I attract a bountiful of joy into my  life?
• What can I do to make my life more beautiful and fulfilling?

 • How can I spice up my life?

 You alone have the answers to these questions. And you are the sole person responsible for your choices, changes, and cheers. Ergo, love yourself more than anything or anyone else. Prioritize yourself, even if no one else does. And you'll be on your road to abundance. Believe me, it would be like a first step to transform your dullsville life.

2. Learn new skills and keep your child like spirit alive

Age doesn't determine your abilities; it's as true as the rising and setting of the Sun. It's all your mindset, your determination,  your interest, your desire that lead the show. Always remember that your action surpasses the tales of it. For this, be like a child who with a carefree mind tries his or her hand at new things, performs as nobody is watching, sometimes falls, sometimes rises but doesn't mind anything and never gives up. You might have observed that children simply intend to do something instead of sitting around doing nothing. Their minds remain intact of the negative thoughts and feelings that surround them. Therefore be like children who just want to grow and grow, learn and learn, laugh and laugh. And in that process, definitely try to get rid of the sack of uneventful life.

3. Stay in touch with your family, friends and acquaintances 

Technology has no doubt removed the space barriers, but has intensified the distances in the cores. The eyes of folks remain glued to the monitor of small portable devices. Here, I would say that these tools have rendered almost all mechanical relationships. There is no personal touch in the close talks even. People act as robots. With continuous  advancement, they have just learnt to give and take commands and pretend to be busy all the time. And this human-device relationship is expanding wildly and superseding every emotional bond. We have lost the very essence of the word "human". This is really a worrisome issue. In order to break the chain of this machine monotony, we need to revitalize human-human association, we need to cherish each other's presence, and we need to encourage more and more reunion meetings with all the kith and kins. Because life can be best relished with loved ones only. Or else, it's just like playing with a toy all the time. 

4. Give ample space to your passion

Since childhood certain things have been fixed in our minds, like we have to outshine in the Academics to realize the dreams of our family. Throughout the process, we comprehensively disregard our own desires, dreams and decisions. Possibly because of ignorance at times or lack of confidence or support on the part of the family. There hides the root of all failures. You may have noticed, that over the course of the recent lockdown, all offices, educational institutions or enterprises stopped breathing, and by contrast individuals with specific skills earned something through on-line activities. And these new faces who at an early age realised their passion, practiced enough to be recognized. Furthermore, during this phase, many other submerged talented ones surfaced who had never imagined themselves performing on social media. It truly gave them a wonderful experience. And I suppose they're living a much happier and fulfilling life now than people with a long track of academic qualifications. Therefore, I want to bring up the point that never under-value the power of your passion, it may keep you engaged in adverse situations as well where some people lose interest in life and reach the verge of death. And, never fall into the trap of good or bad moments or lack of resources, or any run-of-the-mill job. Simply try to use your creativity and your passion to keep your life upbeat. Trust me, it'd really pay you with unlimited mirth and money. 

5. Take the time to enjoy the natural world

Nature always encourages you to be at peace with it, whereas humans leave no opportunity to ruin its beauty. Think of that. You get back, what you give. With love, you get love. Likewise, If you appreciate, you're appreciated. So, spend some time each day to have a word with the fascinating creation of this world in the form of air, trees, birds, animals, hills, water, land or any other natural phenomena. You will definitely feel oneness with the unknown and this feeling takes one to some mystical arenas for a while. Do try. They are real stress busters and one of the best ways to feel loved unconditionally. It'll give you a chance to escape from your daily grind.

I would like to recap with the words that if you really want to liven up and level up your life, do pay attention to yourself and your surroundings as well. Boredom doesn't strike unless you ignore what is necessary for you. Have a vivacious and frisky life ahead. Cheerio!
