Learn something new
We stopped learning and that’s the harsh truth of of Adulthood. And this is the major factor because of which we are not able to grow to our full potential. When we were small kids, we were learning and improving every single moment. To keep growing you have to be that child again, you need to have the curiosity to know more, to become better.
We will suggest you to learn things which can kill the routine and get you out of boredom. Why not go for a cooking class? We know that its been a while you stopped drawing, why not give a chance? You must be hitting the Gym every single day to stay fit (well its a fashion now a days), this long weekend try some dancing.
