A routine is very important to everyday life. You get up, go about your day almost as predicted, and then you're done until tomorrow. Routines are good, as they keep us in check, decrease the chance that we get overwhelmed, and allow us to schedule our downtime. But sometimes the mundane becomes unbearable.

Human beings crave excitement and adventure, so it's natural to get bored with our lives from time to time. The best thing to do in this scenario is to try something new. It can be out of your comfort zone or it can be an activity that you're familiar with—done in a new way. Just shake things up a little bit. There is no limit to what you may discover.

You might be surprised at how easy it is to change your mindset through a long walk, coffee with a friend, or a night spent in bed reading a good book. There's also the option of trying something new, like a pottery or painting class, driving up the road to an unseen destination, or maybe even taking up a new hobby such as music or photography.

Life is not meant to be lived in stagnation. Routine is good, but sometimes it is healthy to change your routine. Don't be afraid to try new and unknown activities. They may just become a regular part of your life... And life is all about the thrill!
