Sometimes when I feel down in the dumps for no reason at all, I just need to change something about my life. I'm one of those people who LOVES change and I always get the feeling to change randomly. Most of my life changes are spontaneous (which might not be the best thing, but life is too short to hesitate). I can't spend time mulling over whether or not to chop all my hair off or I'll chicken out.
If you're someone like me who needs a change in their life but can't figure out what to change, this list is for you.
1. Chop your hair off
Get a haircut, dye your hair, shave part or all of it or all of the above.
2. Get extensions
You don't just have to cut it to change your hair.
3. Get a tattoo or piercing
Get a second or third hole in your ear. Or if you're feeling really dangerous, go for body piercings!
4. Adopt a pet
Make sure you can take care of the said pet. It doesn't have to be a dog or cat, but maybe a fish or a little bird will help get rid of your thirst for change.
5. Take a road trip.
Leave. Get out. Run away for a while. It does a heart and mind good.
6. Pick up a new hobby
Learn how to draw, write poetry, cook; explore your options and don't be afraid to get out of your comfort zone!
7. Go through your room and get rid of everything you haven't touched in a month.
Sentimental stuff can be excluded from this one, but that chair that's only used to put partially dirty clothes on can go. And so can those books you haven't read in years.
8. Get a whole new wardrobe
Take all of your old stuff to Plato's Closet.
9. Do something you wouldn't normally do
Ask him out on a date. Wear something new. Do your makeup a little bolder.
10. Rearrange your room/office
11. Find a new way to get around town
Take a car, bike, or find a bus to take to class.
12. Get a new phone
Out with the old and in with the new! Change brands or just upgrade.
13. Get a new job
Sometimes, you don't have to quit the one you have. You can always join Odyssey ! *wink wink*
14. Change your lock/home screen on your phone or screensaver on your computer.
15. Paint your nails
Or paint them a different color than the normal.
16. Start a new series on Netflix or Hulu
17. Get a bumper sticker for your car or computer
18. Change phone cases
19. Get a new book bag
20. Get a new poster or tapestry for your room or living space
21. Get a new shirt or dress
22. Cook or make something new
23. Switch up your morning coffee order
24. Try something new at a restaurant
25. Buy new pens/pencils
26. Make a new playlist or buy new songs
Stick with your morals! You don't have to lose your morals to get out of your comfort zone. You can always do other things than what is on this list if anything doesn't go with what you believe in and who you are.
Not all change has to be extreme though. Sometimes it doesn't take much to get rid of that must-change-something feeling.
