OMG, is it seriously nearly 2019 already? Yes, it is. Once you get your head around the fact that Halloween was three weeks ago, and Christmas is only just under five weeks away, you start to realise just how fast time seems to be going lately. So, if time is flying by so quickly, what do you think that most of us are missing out on?
You probably won’t be too sure how to answer that, because, for the most part, you’ll just be focusing on the here and now. We’re usually so involved in our day to day lives, which when you think about it, revolves around pretty much nothing. But, we don’t want to make everything so bleak, we’re not saying that our lives are totally worthless. After all, all we’re usually programmed to do is go to work, come home and cook and clean, moan about the day, get into bed, and get ready to repeat.
What we’re going to do is try and break that cycle for you. It’s not the best to live our lives the way we’ve been living them, but it doesn’t mean that we have to stop everything that we’re doing completely. We think these are the top things that we’re missing out on, and how you can weasel them into your life.
A Bit Of Day To Day Fun
So, the first thing that we’re definitely missing out on is the day to day fun. We’re not talking about waiting for the weekend to come round so that we can finally have some fun, which for most of you is sitting around and watching Netflix all day. We’re talking about some day to day fun that will actually spice up your life a little. We know that for a lot of you, your life will revolve around going to work, and doing the little things that you might have to do when you get home, and then waiting for the weekend to come.
But, if you just switch it up a little and do something different on two days in the week, your life will change. You’ll soon come to realise that life isn’t all about the daily grind that we seem to have to live by. There are so many things we can accomplish if we just get out and do something. It could be a weekly film night with your friends, it could be that you and your partner put activity ideas in a hat, then you pull one out and go and do it, or it could be that you go and spend some time with your parents.
Anything that drags you out of the cycle you’re in at the minute of coming home and doing nothing, is definitely what you need to be focusing your time on. If you don’t have a pet at the minute and you’re looking for some fun, we definitely recommend looking into the possibility of getting a puppy. They would seriously lighten up your life, and definitely give you a bit of day to day fun.
It’s Not All About Big Spending
Some of us are missing out in life because we’re always so focused on the money we’re spending, rather than the money we can be saving. Even if money isn’t that tight at the minute, the crunch seems to get everyone who isn’t a millionaire at some point, so you might as well be thinking about the money you can save now, whilst you still can. If you’re used to eating out all of the time, going for fancy cocktails, having family days out… the list could go on! Well, if you’re used to all of that, then we’re not saying you should stop any of that. It’s all part of making memories, and memories last a lifetime.
But, what we are suggesting is that you cut costs on your other big spending’s to get big things. If you know that you always have the second to best phone because you’re always tied into a contract, but all you want is a new phone every six months, then consider getting a SIM only contract. You only pay for the SIM, so it costs next to nothing for you to have the phone. SIM only deals are provided by most phone companies as well, so you might not even have to move providers. You’ll save so much money that could go into a little pot towards something bigger and better, like a holiday!
Letting Go A Little
Ok, so if you really think about it, you’re probably a little uptight at the minute, aren’t you? All you can think about is the multitude of things that you have to do in a day, and how you’d rather do anything but do those things, are we right? We hope we are because it’s definitely how we feel about life at the minute. Maybe it’s because it’s the Christmas period coming up, or maybe we’re just all super lazy! All of this over thinking can often lead to us being a little bit uptight all of the time. We only think about the negatives, and we rarely ever actually let go! So, we’re going to encourage you, from time to time, to let go and go and do something completely random.
We’re talking about indoor skydiving, bungee jumping, just anything that you wouldn’t usually do, and that gets your adrenaline pumping. You might wonder why something like this is so important to do? Well, it helps you forget about the daily struggles of life. It allows you to do something that isn’t the standard, going out for a meal type do. It allows you to feel free, and to feel thrilled. We definitely recommend that you push yourself out of your comfort zone a little bit before the end of the year is out. Even if it does mean going a little wild.
Bigger & Better Life Experiences
If you’re restricting yourself to a bit of a simple life, then you’re not going to have the bigger and better life experiences that we think you deserve. So, think along the lines of the travelling scale. The amount of people who say they haven’t even left the country they reside in is so sad, especially when there’s a big beautiful world out there just waiting to be explored.
If you know you haven’t travelled as well as you should have done up until now, start thinking about where you might want to go and why. Don’t let the price put you off either. You can find some excellent deals using offer sites, rather than going through any holiday operator. They will offer bargain city breaks and things like that! If you know you want to go a little bit further, and it’s definitely going to stretch the bank account, then just make sure you’re planning well enough in advance for your finances, and just get it booked!
A Bit Of Love
We want to finish with something a little on the emotional side, because who doesn’t need a bit of midweek emotion! A lot of you reading this will be missing out on the important feeling of love. Some of you might be totally against the idea, but if you’ve ever felt true love before, you’ll know how needed it is. Get yourself onto some dating websites, and get yourself out there! Finding the one for you could do more for you than you realise.
