Is your life monotonous?
Then you can follow this suggestion for some safe excitement.
Do not upend your whole life, quit everything and go to the mountains. That works only with a few rare sapiens specimens.
Instead, keep on with your routine life but carve out an hour of your monotonous day, every day, and start doing something that you find interesting. Your aim must be to get good at it and do it for at least six months before you even pause to look at the progress and receive criticism. I read doing something for at least six months from Tim Ferriss, I think.
This way, your 80–90% of your life is still in that comfort zone you are snuggled in, but you are taking risks with the remaining 10% of your time each day. After those six months, you have the permission to quit if you don’t like it or you can continue with it. You will learn that you have progressed far more than you ever dreamed of.
You can then incorporate this new thing in your day within the 80% safe comfort zone and then take up another risky thing and run with it for another six months.
This is guaranteed to keep your life interesting and fun. (100% money-back guarantee which you have not paid me.)
