Do you dream of travelling to strange places and sightseeing peculiar things?
Well, this article won't help you get magically rich enough to go on a trip around the world, but it well help you get the second best thing: a life change (if it is even minimal)
1. Change your hairdo.
Feeling rebellious and spunky? Dye it the color you last think of! Chop all of it off, or get bangs. After all, hair always grows back and dye always washes out.
2. Read life-changing literature.
Aside from having "me" time, life-changing literature, well, will change your life. With some tea and a warm blanket, there is nothing better than a book. Some recommendations from the Odyssey staff are: The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde, Butterfly by Sonya Hartnett, The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, and Siddharta by Hermann Hesse.
3. Go to thrift stores.
An experience all alone can boost your confidence and be a rewarding self-exploring journey... but it can aslo be a new way to meet new people and learn about your town. The activities you do can be as simple as going to the movies or treating yourself to a nice dinner.
6. Treat yo' self.
As cliché as it sounds, it does work on making a big change in your life as it lowers your stress levels and releases the feel-good chemicals, such as: endorphin, oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine. For example, did you know that dark chocolate releases the same feeling as when you fall in love? So go on! Have a grand feast! Fall in love with yourself.
7. Get a pet.
Whether it's a fish or a Labrador, a pet will make a change in your monochromatic lifestyle with their own exuberant happiness or their quiet company, improving you mental health and lowering stress levels.
8. Meet new people.
Try to volunteer at an old folk's home and talk to them. They always have some good stories to tell! Meet your neighbors and befriend them. Go to coffee-shops and make conversation with strangers, even if you are a little awakward. It will make you more confident and who knows? Maybe you'll have new friends!
Isn't even amazing how easy you can change your whole life?
So go on, explore, change, be wild! The future is near, but for now, enjoy the present. Make the most of it.
