Improvement pill here.
I believe that living in exciting and interesting life is important
because when you're doing the same thing every single day
and there's nothing new going on in your life
your brain will start to go on autopilot more often
it stops focusing on the present moment
it starts creating less memories
and time starts flying by faster and faster
I think you should strive to live a more interesting and exciting life
not because it looks cool on social media
because it will make you feel like you're actually living life to its fullest
a life with less regrets. It's also going to make you into a more memorable person
someone that others will want to get to know. So let's jump right into it.
There are there two main reasons why you are bored
the first is that you always look to the masses for inspiration on what to do
this is something that I often see when it comes to dance
there are literally thousands and thousands of different dance moves out there
but it comes to dance there are always trends
styles of dance that are popular and specific moves that are popular
for example recently we had the floss. The floss is a dance move invented by someone known as the backpack kid
after performing his move on stage with Katy Perry on Saturday Night Live
it soon became a viral sensation
the video got tens of millions of views and suddenly people all around the world we're learning how to floss.
Now the thing about the floss is that it is a very interesting move. I had never seen anything like it before.
So i do i have to commend the backpack kid on his creation.
But when it viral all the sudden everyone in their Grandma picked up the move.
Everywhere i went parties clubs outside event anywhere there was me people with doing the floss.
Now don't take this the wrong way it's better to be dancing to music and to not be dancing at all.
But when everyone is doing the same move it becomes boring.
dance is about unique expression how the music makes your body feel
that's why in most cases watching people dance is interesting because you get to see the unique way to interpret the music
but if you jump on the dance floor and do you spend the floss you're just doing something that everyone else is doing
it's no longer unique expression it's predictable it's boring
there are literally thousands of other that you could have learned
but you chose to learn to floss and probably not because you thought it was an accurate expression of how music makes you feel
but because everyone else was doing it and this doesn't only apply at the dance moves
for a lot of us almost all of what we do is dictated by what we see others do
we all go to college because everyone else does
we all try to save up and buy a car or a house because that's what everyone does
we travel to the same places around the world for holidays because that's what everyone does
now there's nothing wrong with looking to others for inspiration once in awhile that's human nature
but when all you're doing is what everyone else is doing you by definition if you come boring
the only way to combat this is to start doing things that you genuinely want to do
which brings us to reason number two why you are boring
I want you to imagine for a second a circle and within the circle are all the things that you are familiar
with places activities people jobs Etc
all of these things are things that you feel totally fine doing or interacting with
this is your comfort zone
the second reason why you are boring is because you are scared of venturing outside of the zone
you're quite sure what will happen when you go out and try that new thing
or talk that a new person or go to that new place
there's a chance that you might get rejected
or you might mess up or you might look like a fool and that can be a bit scary
in order to start doing the things that you want to do
so that you can become more interesting
you must first learn how to master up the courage and venture outside of your comfort zone
and it really isn't a trick that I can teach you to do this you just have to face your fear and take the leaf
and understand that even if you fail what if you mess up that it's all a okay it's not the end of the world
but hey you managed to step outside your comfort zone and regardless of what happens at least you are now more courageous than you were before
the secret to becoming less boring is to learn
how to venture outside of your comfort zone so that you can try and experience new things that you genuinely want to do
the more things you experience the more unique stories you will have the more you will learn about the world the more you will have seen
which in turn will develop your character and make you into a more interesting person
