How To Feel Alive by Jedix(m): 8:58pm On Dec 17, 2014
[big]1Try new things.Trying new things is one of the best things that you can do to feel really alive. The fact of the matter is that humans are smart. We're all smart. And because of this, our brains need stimulus. If we keep doing the same things we always do, we get bored and after enough of that we start to feel dead inside. Try new, exciting things and you'll find yourself getting more excited about life in the process.
*.You can try creative activities, like learning to play an instrument or drawing.
*.You can try activities that really exercise your brain, like learning a new language or playing chess.
*.You can try activities that push your body, by taking up sports like swimming or jogging.

2Push your personal boundaries.Get outside your comfort zone. For the same reasons that you should try new things, you should also push your personal boundaries every now and again. In fact, the more you push them, the more you'll find that you grow as a person. When we push ourselves, we find out what we're really capable of and we find new things to enjoy about life. This makes us happier, more fulfilled, and confident people.
*.You can push yourself to travel somewhere that you never imagined yourself going.
*.You can push yourself to meet a goal you though was impossible, like losing 50 lbs.

3Take on challenges.We tend to feel the most alive when we're in pursuit of a challenging goal. Now, this can be something like getting in shape, learning a new skill, or working towards a promotion at work. It can even be something like getting straight A's, if you're still in school. The important part is to give yourself a challenge and then throw all of your energy and effort into it!

4Pursue a dream.Pursue something that you've always wanted to do. When you chase the things that make you happy, keeping your mind off of fears of consequences or hurdles, you will find that you feel like you've been reborn.

*.Try starting a new career path by doing something that you always wanted to do. When you work a job that you don't like or that doesn't leave you feeling fulfilled, it's easy to start feeling dead inside. Find a new career path doing something that you enjoy or that makes you feel good about yourself at the end of the day.

5Find and be with someone you love.If you're not in a relationship, start one ( go herefor help for getting girlfriends and go herefor help finding boyfriends). Find someone that's good for you and whom you can also fill a void in their life. Humans are social creatures. We need other people and being with someone can often make your life more exciting and fulfilling.

*.It's important to be in a healthy relationship where you're both helping each other. Don't get in a serious relationship with someone you don't care about just to try and make you feel better.[/big]
