Switch it Up

You should always be looking to expand on your current interests and routines. Although we are creatures of habit, and it is important to have a regular schedule; its also crucial to throw new aspects into your daily mix.

An example would be picking up a new hobby, with all the lifting I do I find it fun, beneficial, and relaxing to add restorative yoga once or twice into my weekly schedule. But it goes beyond that, read more books, watch more informative videos, learn more. Engage in activities you don't normally partake and develop a new respect for the practice. It doesn't have to be religious, it doesn't have to be super intense, and it doesn't have to be daily.

As you progress in life you should learn to continuously add new hobbies and interests into your life. My goals are to read and learn more about hypertrophy, gaining/leaning cycles, and tap further into the physchological portion of lifting and motivation towards goals. Another important area to look to make progress in are your relationships, start setting up weekly/monthly dates with close ones. Phone calls are always nice but spend quality time with the people near and dear to you, cherish the moments and let the bond grow stronger, have a genuinely good time with that individual/group. Furthermore it is important to look to create new relationships, grow your network, step out of your comfort zone and find new viewpoints and personalities.
