Life is beautiful. Yes! we all know. But it becomes monotonous at times. Do you feel the same way? Welcome to the club!

I had been enjoying life — became busy with work and even posted my experiences on Triond. Life is going on well, everything is perfect yet i feel that there is something missing and life has become monotonous. I spend hours and hours on the internet chatting with friends and family, surfing about anything and everything. Google became my best friend where my searches would usually be – Exciting things to do in life. And yes! I slept whenever I got the chance.

I was pondering over all this when a thought crossed my mind – I have plenty of time (I have my vacations right now). Why not utilize it? I have plenty of time to do things I wanted to take out time for – Facials, manicures, pedicures, try on different clothes, hairstyles and accessories, clean my house et al. Why not now? I can do it now! And this broke the monotony of life.

Like me, there would be a lot of people who want answers to the boredom and monotony of life. So, here we go – Practical things which you can really do:

1.     Watch new movies (as well as your favorite ones). You will not always get the time an opportunities. This we will realize with age.

2.     Do a facial, manicure, pedicure, bleach or anything else you want at home. You can even go to the salon and get it done. You will feel refreshed and beautiful.

3.     Get a nice haircut! It can make you look younger than you are and it will give a new lift to your mood. If you have not gone for eyebrows and upper lips for a long time, now is the time!

4.     Clean your house. Do some dusting to start with. Clean the fans. Clear out unwanted stuff from your drawers. Clean the kitchen. Clean the bathroom. Wash all the rugs and mats. You will get some exercise for your body plus your house will be neat and clean.

5.     Try out new recipes.

6.     Go watch the sunrise. If you have a beach nearby, go there and watch it. It feels beautiful. Tried and tested!

7.     Go for shopping!

8.     Iron clothes that have been lying around.

9.     Wash you make-up brushes and combs.

10. Pray!

11. Go for a walk in the evening ( to a place you love the most).

12. Write articles and post them on Triond so that you can share your experiences and make friends as well.

13. If it is possible, plan a short trip.

14. Visit your friends.

15. Try on different dresses with matching accessories.

16. Plant some trees. If you have a place to do gardening, plant some vegetables. You will not have to buy vegetables from the market! Check out Youtube if you want to know how to grow them.

17.  Lastly, be happy. And if you have any other suggestions, please post them here.

18. Have a nice day.

P.S : My day today started early with making breakfast, Praying, washing clothes and writing on triond. It will be followed by cooking lunch and a bleach for my face. In the evening I will visit my friend and after that go to the market to buy vegetables.

You can try this too, “for today”.
