Actually life seems to be precious who only prioritizes it. Otherwise, the living object will result in a boring and often disgusting one. So, how to exactly enjoy the enjoyable ‘life’? Yes, let’s try:
1) Change thinking: Live every hour as if it’s your last. Don’t leave anything to be done later; for, there may not be any ‘later’. Deal with the ‘now’. People who tragically died in Mumbai air crash had plenty of jobs pending. Yes, you can’t do everything finished instantly. After that, try...
2) Enlist the joyous moments: Keep on writing the enjoyable and joyous happenings that has happened to you anytime. What did your dear wife whisper you the other moon lit night? How did your dear daughter remind you to buy the teddy bear? You’ll forget. So, write them down. Bad thoughts can be cleared away from your brain. Write on, it functions!!
3) Change your perspective: Think for a moment how you can be remembered and how you make your grandchildren identify you from the crowd. A banker can be a singer or an artist. The grandchildren will remember not as a banker but as a singer or as an artist. So, don’t miss. Expose your ‘self’.
4) Never allow silly thorns prick you: Wasting your physical and mental energy by being upset with minor irritations is not something intelligent. Don’t confront your land lady who is always rude and aggressive for nothing. Just smile away her rudeness. Let her be rude and aggressive and let her enjoy the very ‘silly’ state of mind. It’s actually her problem and also a matter of ‘enjoyment’. You just offer her the words “you’re quite right”, “Thank you”. Life will be clean and chaos free.
5) Change your daily routine: Sometimes we feel boring doing things in the same way at the same time. We can’t change the office time or the school hour. After that we can change a lot. If we usually sleep on a Sunday, change it for Friday. If you wake up at 6 am and sleep at 11 pm, change it for 4:30 am and 9:30 pm respectively. Change the set of music playing early in the morning. What a luxury it is!
6) Never try to keep up with all: Your neighbor have a good jeep, a big refrigerator, and spacious garden. So what? Look again; you’ll find that he works even in the weekends; they ne’er visit friends. They’ve changed the term “pleasure” to “labor”. So, who’s better off, absolutely?
7) Have a big clean-out: Cloths are torn, kitchen utensils are too much used, toys are not properly functioning, furniture is outdated – offer them to a charity. You’ve actually offered a help to the poor. The bonus is that you have vacated some places for the new items to look the house newer and finer.
8) Restart your relationship with partner: You’re maintaining a sound relationship with your partner. After a long companionship you’re on the verge of forgetting the very moment when and where you first met your spouse. So, why don’t you restart the passion by whispering into your partner’s ear,” Hey, let’s go for a walk in the shadowy park in the coming moonlit night”.
9) Don’t let vulgarity overcome you: Make as much fun as you can with your friends but beware of being the object of vulgarity. Wit and vulgarity are quite different. So, identify & slap the unwanted breed.
10) Phone, e-mail old friends: You’ve been tired of life and got disconnected with school life friends. Call them, send them e-mails and you’ll see the radical happening your mind will experience. You’re sure to recover the innocence of your childhood.
11) Create something: Why wasting your leisure moments by sleeping? Paint, draw, sing, sew, bake- create anything. Be admired and praised.
12) Love greenery:“Nature has the healing power”, says William Wordsworth. Justify it, go to woods and try it. Life is actually peaceful “Under the Greenwood Tree” of William Shakespeare.
13) Watch a funny video: “Laughter is the best medicine”, goes the wise saying. So, rent a video of jokes. Have a hearty laugh and refresh your nerves.
14) Smile: Last one is absolutely free of cost. It’s smile. It’s really contagious. Practice it and transfer it to others.
