The WoW Style

It’s easy to get stuck in a loop of working, coming home, sleeping and repeating. Maybe your work is dull and drains your energy; maybe your home is the same as it was 10 years ago and in good need of renovation; maybe you’ve started to neglect the little things in life that make it worth living. Well, we’re here to tell you how to kickstart your life and turn over a new leaf and give you the confidence to make the change you need to love life again.

Drop Any Bad Habits

If we get stuck into the same old routines, this makes us more likely to get stuck into bad habits, too. It’s worth making a list of every single thing you do, from the moment you wake to the moment you go to sleep, and identify anything you do that may take a toll on you and your health – maybe you smoke or drink too much for your liking, or you leave clutter all over the house, or maybe even you’ve stopped doing things you need to do like exercising and tidying. Make a list of things you want to do and slowly begin to switch out the bad habits for good ones – instead of going from a cigarette, go for a walk. Instead of buying lots of junk food, buy lots of fruit or healthier snacks.

Little changes like this are not only great in getting you back on track and getting everything into order, but it can also help you feel much better physically and mentally. If you struggle with alcohol addiction, seek help from your local AA group.

Focus On Your Happiness

Happiness is one of the most important things, and without it, you won’t be able to move forward in life. This is why it’s important to think carefully about what makes you happy – is gardening your home comfort, or is cooking your passion? Whatever it is, make sure to integrate it into your life, whether you decide to just keep it as a hobby, or if possible, to follow it as a career. If you’re unsure about what makes you happy, think back to when you were younger – what did you want to be when you grew up?

What did you enjoy doing as a child? Often, childhood pleasures give us that child-like glee again and can be brilliant in boosting not only our happiness but our confidence.

If you’re still unsure about what could make you happy, try out new hobbies – whether you’re arty, sporty, nerdy, or like a bit of luxury (no one said spa days can’t be your happy place), you’re sure to find something you’ll like. Incorporating something that makes you happy into your daily life will have great benefits for your mental health, and you could even share it with others to mix up family time or a meet up with friends. Meeting up with friends and family is also a good way to encourage those endorphins to buzz and get you feeling happier, and involving people in your life makes it harder to withdraw and get stuck into a normal routine.

Consider Moving

Sometimes, no matter how much we try to change things, the circumstances we’re in still have a huge effect on the way we live. Maybe you’re in a bad neighborhood or there are little job opportunities in your area, or you just fancy a change – it sounds drastic but moving home can be an incredibly rewarding and revitalizing experience. Think about it – you get the chance to look at places you dreamed of, explore new areas, meet new people, gain new experience and new opportunities. Sometimes a major change in your life is what you need to really turn things around and get things up and coming again.

Think about staying in a city – they’re good places for high energy and can give you the buzz you need to feel happier and more productive in general.

When visiting a city like Washington, D.C., the neighborhoods are all very diverse and there’s tons to see. Therefore, renting an apartment for the mid to long-term shouldn’t be a hassle. Consider a company such as Blueground, which provides furnished and equipped corporate apartments for a month, a year or even longer. The flexible lease terms will benefit every guest who may not yet know their departure date. Or, perhaps you’re interested in Dupont Circle for a month and then would like to try out life in Georgetown? It’s all possible with Blueground

Making a move and finding somewhere else to call home is an experience which is bound to change your life forever and can be just what you need to get yourself back on track and living your life in true style again.
