To have a fulfilled and happy life you need to stay excited. A lot of times, especially for driven and busy people, we get caught up in the mundane, daily to-dos and operate in auto pilot. This can take a major toll on you psyche. It’s hard to get and stay excited about the same monotonous tasks day in and day out.
When you’re excited, life is good. Usually, when you get excited about something, no matter how small, you find excitement in all the mundane things of life too. The problem is, after a while, the excitement of a simple thing fades away. That’s not something I look forward to.
This week, I bought a citruszinger. It’s this water bottle that allows you to create your own citrus infused water. It’s so great. I’ve been drinking cucumber water like crazy. For the past few days, I had so much excitement about this simple thing and life was good.
That’s where the motivation of this topic sprung out of. Now, am I going to be excited for the rest of the year because of this? Most likely not. Maybe it’ll last a week or a month, but it will fade. The cool thing about this state of excitement was that no matter how tolling and busy my week was, I was attacking it head on—with my water bottle at my side.
I thought to myself, “Wow, I wish I was always this excited!” What does that have to do with you? Maybe nothing. For me, I decided I would commit myself to find something new every week to get excited about. I guess, my word of advice is, GET EXCITED!
TAKE ACTION!
Find something new to get you excited every week. It doesn’t need to be big. It could be anything. A trip you decide to take, a new book you’re reading, a rare treat, test driving a really cool car, seeing an old friend, a new project or craft. It can be absolutely ANYTHING. I can’t tell you what excites you, but I do challenge you to take time and figure out what that is.
