   It can be as simple as taking an alternate route to work or school. With unfamiliar terrain you have to use your brain and pay closer attention to your surroundings. On a road that you do not frequent, there may be a store or something that you never knew existed. Explore the adjacent streets, see new sights. Learn to appreciate the differences.

3. When it comes to work, if you have to do the same tedious tasks everyday, is there any other position that would be more challenging?

5. Did not get the promotion or another job you wanted to try? So, try again. You cannot know success until you know disappointment. Notice I did not say failure. Just get out and try doing something different. Do you have a hobby? Try having friends partake in it too. You could make your own club. Do you like to read? Start a book club.
