Expand your Horizons


Expand your horizons
1) Learn something new:- Keep a running list of things you would like to learn more about. Set a deadline to go through the items on your list, whenever you have a few minutes, do a little more research.
2) Take a course:- Register for classes in something unfamiliar, like Thai cooking, home renovations or a foreign language. Without over-scheduling your time, challenge your brain with something out of the ordinary to break your routine.
3) Experiment:- Experience something new. Try bubble Tea at the new tea place that opened close to your work. Research and make a list of new wines to try. Attempt to make sushi, cook a t
4) Ask questions :- Take the time to talk to someone older and learn from them. Life lessons are incredibly valuable. Not only will you learn something new, but you will feel great about giving someone else your time and interest.

Do what makes you happy ?
5) Do something funny:-Join a sports team and reap double benefits, you will stay active and fit. Or you can make the plans to go to a concert or check out a new bar.
6) Laugh out loud : -Its healthy to laugh out loud, even if you are alone. Go to the movies, watch your favorite programme . Lighten up your attitude and have fun.
7) Be spontaneous:- Forget about how tired you are after work and do something up planned to break your routine. Call up that babe from accounting and go out for drinks. Or take another route on your drive home to change your outlook.
8) Relax:- Create some me time. Relax and disconnect for a few minutes. Shut of your call phones, turn off the radio, television and computer and let go off worries. Drive around town. Take a walk in the park. Read a book. Making time for yourself doesn't mean painting the living room, unless that 's something you truly enjoy doing .

Do good
9) Do a good deed:- Help others in a small way. Help an elderly person cross the street. Listen to a friends problem without judging or offering solutions.
10) Cheer someone up:- Verbalize your" thank you's". The server and cook at your favorite lunch spot, the bank teller and security guard , the customer service operator will be surprised by a little recognition, and you will find that our spirits are raised also. Offering some spare change to a panhandler on the street
11) Spend time with your loved ones and with the people who are important in your life. Hopefully, many of them fall in both categories. Visit your parents and grandparents, and have lunch or dinner with them. Go for a beer with your friends and maintain contact with old buddies by email or telephone. Make it a habit to called an old friend each week to catch up.

Your frame of mind is important. Start every day on a positive note. Walk around like you won 1 million rupees and, unless you start spending money like you are
Act with integrity and believe in yourself. Before going to bed, you will be able to look back on your day and be happy about it.
Life is full of choices. You can choose to be so absorbed in your work or so ingrained in your old routine that you become one dimensional or you can choose to truly live. Of course, you are not likely to use all these suggestions on the same day. Use them sporadically to make everyday unique and memorable. Take the time to enjoy your life.
