So youre stuck in a rut, bored with how your life is, and you cant think of how to get through this period. Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. So stop being insaneand try something new.

Now Im not saying you totally change everything you do, and everything youre about. Im recommending you take baby steps, and change 1 thing a month. Try this: Start getting up an hour earlier every day for 30 days, so you can get used to getting up with enough time to do something extra in the mornings. After 30 days, if you find its not working for you or youre too tired or whatever your excuse is, then fine, stop doing it. Next month, try something else new. Maybe you take up a new hobby, maybe you start listening to books on tape/CD/MP3 on the way to and from work, or maybe you cut out sweets for 30 days. Try something new and different for 30 days, next month try another thing new, then another, and another, and eventually youll have a whole bunch of new stuff you can say you at least tried, and Ill bet you find a few things you want to keep doing, or that you want to share with your friends, family and others.

There are so many ways to make it great, if youre willing to try 1 new thing a month.
