Live it Up!


A lot of times we wish that the days were longer so as to accomplish a lot of things we want to explore, dig in, simply cherish or wish we could do more in a day .. so we take the simple route and blame it on the lack of time!

Even with a new work culture and the flexi working hours, we discover at the end of the day that it is still the same routine. Work and back home and the day slips away. The excitement of a life in the fast lane doesn't seem so exciting, after all.

Life is short...so now is the time..the moment to explore it and enjoy it to the fullest! Live each day as if it's your last. Leave the past behind and do not anticipate the future. Be present to enjoy the moment.

Read on and explore how you can swipe away the boredom out of your life and get jiving!

Go trekking!

Explore, live on the edge a little and embrace new challenges. Visit new places with your loved ones. Take the road less traveled.

There are a number of adventure clubs sponsored by the government and set up by individual operators...so put the zing back in your life and gain a whole new perspective.

Pleasurable Work

If you're the epitome of the ideal worker- disciplined, punctual and a workoholic, its time to give yourself a break! Choose a relatively non-chaotic day in the week or the month.

Wake up a little later than usual, read the paper, watch a bit of television, have an unhurried breakfast and arrive at the office a little later than the usual time (of course, keep the boss informed of the changed schedule!), enjoy doing your tasks scheduled and spend some fun time with co-workers. And see how it works.

Take Off to Unwind

Take a few days off from work to do a course that is totally unrelated to your work. You'll end up adding a new skill to your repertoire. You never know when it may come handy!

Take a break occasionally and go for a walk. Assume that you have come from another planet. Take a fresh look at the clouds, the colors of sky at sunset and sunrise. Look at the plants, trees, leaves, flowers and how they sway when wind blows..!

Look at water how it shakes and shape itself in the vessel it's stored.. Look at numerous forms of life - insects, animals, birds and human. This exercise will clear off the dead memories and monotony that kills the joy of living.
