As we live our daily routine, our lives, no matter how busy or involved you are, can become monotonous. How can you make it more exciting?

1. Kick up your wardrobe a notch

Wearing bolder clothes or a different style may let people see you in a new light–which means they’ll interact with your differently.

2. Use a pedometer to count your steps

It’s an easy incentive to get more active, and it may encourage you to go outside when you’d usually be sitting indoors.

3. If you drive, park your car a mile away and take the bus the rest of the way

Maybe you’ll see a restaurant you’d like to try some time, or meet someone you’d otherwise never meet

4. Switch offices or desks with a coworker for the day

A new space may inspire you to think differently, which could ripple into your actions.

5. Do something you used to love but haven’t done in a while

Ride your bike to work, talk to your Spanish friend in her native tongue, or post a soulful blog.

6. Help someone with something you love doing

Post a Craigslist ad offering to give someone dating advice or help someone choose the right used car.

7. Learn something new on your lunch break

Listen to an audio book, take a class, or head to your local library.

8. Use familiar things in new ways

Make a planter out of a milk jug. Use egg to make your hair shiny. Google "odd uses for" to find more ideas.

9. Talk to someone on Twitter who does what you’d like to do for a living

Ask that designer how she got her first break. Find out which schools that architect recommends.

10. Commit to trying five new things

a new food, a different hair style, a new exercise class. Anything that pulls you out of your comfort zone.
