Do you ever feel as if your life is going just a little too smoothly? Do you ever feel stuck in the rut of perfection? Have no fear! Here are some excellent ways to add some spice and danger to your life:
1. Set your alarm 10 minutes later than usual.
What?!!??!!?!?!? Yes. Seriously, try it. Nothing adds excitement to your day like starting off with a panicked time crunch.
2. Try a new coffee creamer.
See what happens when you try "caramel hazelnut" instead of your standard "French vanilla." Don't freak out too much when it tastes different than usual.
3. Grab a muffin without knowing what kind it is.
Is it blueberry or chocolate chip? No one knows.
4. Introduce yourself to someone new.
Sure, this can be scary, but who said living life on the edge was supposed to comfortable? This can be as simple as introducing yourself to a coworker you've secretly been dying to meet, the homeless man on the corner, or the barista who makes your coffee.
5. Don't plan your day (or week, month or year) ahead of time.
Spontaneity is key in living life on the edge.
6. Go on a drive without knowing your destination.
While we're on the theme of not planning ahead, just grab the keys and go. Maybe you'll end up back at your place, or maybe you'll end up in Canada. Remember to bring your passport along just in case.
7. Dance in public.
Dance like no one is watching. Or like everyone is watching. Whatever makes you dance more. You're not allowed to dance halfheartedly when you're living on the edge!
8. Always ask for 5 stars.
When you go to a Mexican, Thai, or other kind of restaurant that asks how spicy you want your food, go big or go home, baby!
9. Tell strangers you love them.
Get out of your comfort zone; the world needs more love.
10. Find an edge. Live there.
This is, of course, the most effective way to live life on the edge... though it may be a little out of your budget.
So there you have it: 10 tools to help you live life with a little more reckless abandon! Stay safe, don't be creepy, and have some fun.
