1 . Keeping your life Busy and exciting

Shake up your routine. It doesn’t matter if other people think you are interesting, it only matters if you think you are interesting.     1    . Whether it is taking a different route home, or calling up a friend you haven’t spoken to in years, give it a try. It’s about surprising yourself, not other people.

Find local events such as markets, festivals, and music events to attend. Pick out things in your area which you think might be interesting and give them a visit.     2    , especially in summer, which don’t involve spending much or any money. By doing these things which aren’t part of your routine, you will keep yourself surprised and energized.

Explore your hometown. When you go on holiday anywhere, the place you are visiting always seems so much more interesting than where you live.     3    . You just haven’t bothered to look properly since it’s been there all along. Open your eyes. What have you been missing?

Accept all invitations. Even if you’re not that keen on the people going, try giving them a chance and go and hang out with them anyway.     4     --just once in a while.

Plan a trip. Instead of spending your weekend at home, plan a trip for a 2-day getaway. You don’t have to take time off work and it doesn’t have to be expensive. It can even be half an hour away, and you spend the entire weekend in a hotel basking in the room service.     5    .
