Some days I feel like my life is not interesting enough for me. I fear growing and becoming mother - go to work, come back and that's it. I crave excitement; I crave adventure; I crave things that keep me interested and active.
Very often when I feel like I'm in a rut I challenge myself to do things to push me out of the norm or the boring. For 2010 I have created a To Do List of ten things I want to do before the year is up. Truth be told, I changed the list as time went by but I've always maintained 10 things on the list. Thus far I have completed 4 things on my list and I am in the process of completing another. Some of the things on my list are: ride a motorcycle, dine at 10 new restaurants, coffee shops and/or bars, and exchange digits (or BB pins) with 5 new guys. These keep me very busy and help me to be more open minded and bold. There are two other things I would like to try, not necessarily this year, but soon.
As weird as it may sound, I would actually like to go speed dating. I think it would be fun and interesting. Granted there's a cyber version of speed dating (in my opinion) at chatroulette.com I believe, but the chances of you seeing someone who doesn't want to see your breast or is showing his genitalia is very slim.
The other thing is not as extroverted as everything else on my list. I would like to attend/host a silent retreat. For 2 - 3 days just enjoy silence and the company of others. Maybe I should organise one for my 25th birthday or something. Should be interesting.
I encourage everyone to challenge yourself. If you're a people person challenge yourself to go out alone and enjoy your own company, for example go 5 places by yourself - the cinema, for coffee, to dinner at a fancy restaurant, on a picnic, to the beach. If you're more reserved and to yourself challenge yourself to be more out going and open. Get the digits of 10 new people, for 5 days straight, strike up a conversation with the person next to you on the bus, something along those lines.
