How to Be More Spontaneous
2:50:30 2024-05-02 697

1- Make a list of your routines.

Pinpoint the areas of your life that could use some loosening up. What patterns do you repeat? It might seem counterintuitive, but making a note of every time you do something that feels routine will help you figure out where you can start to loosen up.

  • Ask yourself questions like: Do I walk the same route every day? Do I sit in the same desk during classes? Do I bring the same kind of things for lunch or order the same meal at a restaurant?
  • Note your downtime activities. Do you sit at home or are you active?
  • If you’re struggling to identify routines, ask your family members or friends to point out your habits.

 

2- Write down the anxieties holding you back from change.

Ask yourself, “What's so scary about change?” Write these anxieties down next to the steps in your routine. Try to be as specific as possible. Figuring out your self-judgements and limiting beliefs allows you to recognize when your negative inner voice is holding you back from spontaneity, rather than a true, external limitation (like time or money).

  • Check in with yourself: What's scary about sitting next to a stranger and being drawn into conversation? What keeps you from visiting that new restaurant?

 

3- Add a few new activities to your routine to shift your mindset.

Create small habits based around gratitude and being present. Part of spontaneity is about openness—freeing yourself to enjoy the moment and shifting your perspective towards positivity. Add a larger routine shift by exercising or learning to meditate, or you can try out some of the smaller habits below.

  • Take a photo of something beautiful on the way to work.
  • Write down three things that went well for you at least once a week and what contributed to them going well.
  • Pick one enjoyable activity (like reading a book, watching your favorite TV series), and plan it into your evening so you have something to look forward to at the end of the workday.

 

4- Clear part of your schedule and see where the day takes you.

Break completely from your routine by leaving true free time. Take an hour, an afternoon, or however much time you’d like to unwind and try something new. Avoid scheduling activities, and see what opportunities come up! Some routine is good—having habits like exercise, regular self-care, and meditating or praying can keep us productive and comfortable—but leaving free time can refresh your perspective on life.

  • Use the time to take a class or learn about a hobby you’ve always wanted to try.
  • Wander around town and see if there are cool places or events to check out.
  • Give yourself a day off from chores and go for a hike, cook an elaborate meal, or play video games instead.
