Seek Adventure & Break Up Monotony<\/strong><\/p>\n Do something you always wanted to or go somewhere you always wanted to go.<\/em><\/p>\n Are you off of work today?<\/strong> Go somewhere you keep forgetting to go or do something that you\u2019ve really wanted to do.<\/p>\n Are you working today?<\/strong> Just break up the routine.<\/p>\n I really enjoy breaking up monotony. It may serve as an unconscious reminder that we\u2019re in control. Everything around us and our circumstances are all because of a choice we made at some time, even if at that time we didn\u2019t realize the power of that choice. Even right now, you\u2019re making the choice to read this instead of doing something else (and I\u2019m honored!) We have a choice to do things the way we want (unless past choices are limited your present situation, it was still a choice at one time) and the choice you make now, will likely affect you in the near or far future.<\/p>\n I know you may be thinking:<\/p>\n \u201cbut that\u2019s not true! My life is hard, you can\u2019t understand!\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m broke, you can\u2019t have fun without money.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI HAVE to do these things\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI HAVE to clean my house today.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIf I don\u2019t go, I\u2019ll offend them.\u201d<\/p>\n and so on\u2026<\/p>\n Maybe those aren\u2019t excuses, maybe they\u2019re true at this time in your life, but ARE YOU SURE? Have you tried thinking through the worst case scenario and then decided that you weren\u2019t willing to face those consequences? Have you tried thinking through the best case scenario if you did the thing that you really wanted to do? And did you decide that certain sacrifices weren\u2019t worth the joy it would bring? If you thought it all through, great! But don\u2019t tell yourself you can\u2019t have the life you want because it\u2019s easier to settle for where you are. And if you are consciously choosing the life you live, then catch yourself before you complain!<\/p>\n Sometimes the best side effect of breaking up monotony is to be reminded that you\u2019re already going about it the best way! It quiets that restlessness that may want us to fix something that isn\u2019t broken. Like buying a new pocketbook or pair of Nikes when the ones you already have are just fine. That saves money for the truly life changing choices you want to make or will want to make in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Are These Excuses Stopping You From Enjoying Life?
