The start of a New Year is just around the corner, and around this time, many Singaporeans are making plans to eat healthier or exercise more in 2020. While most people focus on improving their health as part of their New Year’s resolution, there are some who just want a change in their regular routine. Most adults settle into a comfortable yet boring routine that involves work, dealing with responsibilities, and streaming a series or film to relax and unwind. However, there’s more to life than doing mindless chores, work, and Netflix. There are a lot of things you can do to make your life richer, and by making a few tweaks to your routine, you can escape the mundane and have a more exciting life. You don’t even have to spend a fortune to make your life more colorful — here’s how you can upscale your lifestyle and make 2020 your best year ever.
Try new things
One of the best things that you can do to shake up your routine is to try something new. It can be a new restaurant, or perhaps you can try changing up your hairstyle. You can even replace the things on your vanity table or your refrigerator by getting a subscription box so you can get a curated selection of items every month. Imagine having new makeup sent to your door on a monthly basis, or trying a different variety of wine that you would never have picked out by yourself while shopping at the grocery store.
Trying new things helps us overcome the fear of the unknown, and it helps us see the possibilities out there. Sure, you’re highly unlikely to have an epiphany while trying a new flavor of jam, but it does open up your senses to new flavors. Moreover, it encourages you to be more adventurous and is a step in the right direction towards a more interesting life.
Take a class
Do you wish you knew how to dance? Or have you always wanted to know how to bake? Why not take a class to master the one thing that you always wanted to learn? Taking a class keeps you on your toes and keeps your mind active. Learning something new also allows you to set goals as you strive to upgrade your skills. So learn to bust a move at some of the hippest dance classes in Singapore, such as Danz People or Dance Factory, or master the art of cooking at places like Food Playground or Culinaryon. Whatever it is, put your heart into it, and you’ll gain satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment as you learn.
Go to parts unknown
You don’t need to book a flight to discover new worlds. Sometimes, exploring that unfamiliar place that’s about 30 minutes away from your home can be an adventure. If you’ve always been a city slicker and have never been to the outskirts of the metropolis, now is the time to pack a small bag and take a day trip to that place. Go with friends to make your trip even more fun– you’re bound to discover new things and make new memories there.
Making little changes to spice up your life can open up possibilities, opportunities, and even pave the way for new jobs and friendships. Try these hacks to make your life more exciting and make 2020 your best and most fulfilling year ever.
