15 Inspiring Tips to Stop Living a Boring Life ...

I’m a homebody. A night at home in my joggers enjoying Netflix is very comforting to me and I have a feeling that some of you can relate. But you can’t live an exciting life from the couch. That’s okay sometimes but if you want to get rid of the boring element then you’ve got to get out there and gain new experiences. Try new restaurants, new activities and see new places!

Many times being boring comes from a lack of boldness. You’re afraid to step out of your comfort zone. Dare yourself to go bold. This means that you wear the outfit you’re intrigued by, you buy the lipstick that’s a little brighter than usual and you give up your tendency to hide in the crowd. It’s okay to be a standout girl!

Most of us have a list of things we want to do in our lifetime. Break out of boring by getting started on making those experiences happen. If they’re a stretch for your budget then start saving for them. In the meantime you can dream and plan for when it does happen. This’ll keep your sense of adventure strong.

Do you find that you almost always say no to things? It can become so much of a habit that you do it before the question is even asked. At least consider saying yes when new opportunities open up. Maybe a friend asks you to go to a concert or try a new hobby with them. Saying yes can open up a whole new world to you.

Laughter brightens your life. So many of us don’t allow ourselves to enjoy laughter because we’re just too busy or we don’t think it’s important. Be open to fun. As my husband often reminds me, laughing is healthy! It’s good for you mind, body and soul.

You can miss so much because you’re busy or intent on accomplishing everything on your to-do list.

Savor all the funny, special and heartfelt moments that come your way.

This’s a little challenge for you. Consider posting one picture a day to Instagram for a month. It’s a way to capture your life at a glance.

Looking back on the pictures you’ve captured can make you feel warm and happy inside.
