When is the last time you've thought about something more then, "What's for dinner tonight?" or, "How's the weather tomorrow?", I'll bet you it's been a while. We go through our days with the same thoughts that it seems our minds also have fallen into a pattern. The funny thing is, is that we don't really do any real thinking. We don't think about such things as "How can I change the world?" or "What can I do to make my life better?". Our thoughts are no longer deep or inspiring. and the actions from our thoughts meaningless. When do we stop thinking about changing ourselves or the world?
It all begins when we leave school because we no longer have questions to talk about in a class discussion, or write essays or debate about. But you don't have to fall into habitual thinking. There are many ways in which you can keep your mind active, take up a new musical intrument, or take a course at a local school, or even volunteer. Learning an instrument will challenge your mind to understand how to play a song, or how to use the instument properly. Taking a course will teach you something new, like flower arranging or auto mechanics, and hopefully give you something you can do in your spare time and continue after the course has finished. Volunteering will get you exposure to new people, and therefore, get you thinking about things beyond the humdrum of the normal day. Maybe you'll even possibly gain new friends that you can go out with or enjoy an engaging conversation with. Volunteering will also give you some insight into the organization your volunteering for and therefore educate you on issues or inform you about other people's lives.
But these are not the only things you can do to make your life more mentally friendly. Try to take up reading if you don't already do so, and if you do, take out books on something you don't normally read about that you're interested in. You could even attend a free lecture, seminar or workshop from your local library or community centre and learn something new about yourself.
My best advice is however, that you should never stop learning, or being curious about yourself and others around you. Never stop asking questions and never be satisfied with just one answer. It all comes down to one simple statement, "If you don't use it, you'll lose it."
