LIVING THE DAY TO THE FULLEST

Hi socials, it’s been a while. My mind was thinking all the things that I could put into words from a long time. I was so little when writing become my thing. I love writing more than anything else in this world. Well I thought of telling you all this because as much as I love writing, I love you all to do more of what you all love. Whatever you love, whatever makes you happy by doing is the bless of your life. Okay, so today I’m going to talk about how to live your day to the fullest.

Here we are in the lovely November, as Sri Lankans we experience rain these days. Well I love rain. I know most of you all and some of you all not. Have you ever occurred that, rainy seasons decrease your productivity? Well sometimes it’s the truth. Who doesn’t like to cozy on their beds, covered from the blanket and watch a Riverdale series, or any other TV series that you may love or you are watching these days. Sounds great but shouldn’t you be working on the last two months of the year instead of cozy-ing? Yeah, that’s why you should live your day to the fullest with no regrets. But how? It’s not easier like typing some words in a blog. But lets take baby steps towards the success.

Waking up early plays a major role in the process of living the day to the fullest. If you are not a morning person you can refer my post about How to be a morning person for the tips. Once you start your morning in the way it should start it’s not hard to move on with the day and make it a productive one. Well I don’t want to lie, there are some days where I do nothing but finish an entire season of whatever the TV series I’m watching at the time. And when I go to the bed at the end of the day I realized I haven’t done anything productive for the day. And it’s full of regretting. I am so addictive to TV series, so I can’t stop watching. Well I know few of us share the same experience. I know some people who are so busy throughout the day, they go to work, they go out for the meeting, they go to for the shows. Gosh they are spending the day very well. It’s so productive. But living it to the fullest doesn’t mean you go to work. It’s about you do something you love and at the end of the day you go to bed without any regrets.

Assume you wake up to day where you have no plans at all. It’s like a blank page. It’s your wish either to fill it with colors, words or just let it be. What I figured was if you start to do something at the very beginning of the day, you will keep doing that. I have found myself if I started doing something in the morning I keep working till end of the day. Specially if the due date is day after. We all know that struggle. And if I wasted my morning hours doesn’t matter how much I tried I can’t start anything at the middle of the day. All I feel is I should skip the rest of the day too. It’s not a very healthy situation but lets be real for a bit, it’s the truth. If we sleep in that extra 5 mins, it’s gonna do a huge impact on the rest of the day. So we wake up and we do our morning routine, then what? Then you should keep doing all the things that you listed in the to do list. When you are making your to do list, you should make sure that you include one or two things you love to do.

Well first let’s find what you love the most. I love writing. Do you love writing too? Then why not start a blog and write whatever the things that come to your mind. Put all your thoughts into the words and let others read. Trust me you will love when people give you feedback. Do you love writing poems? Because I do that too. There was a times I do write poems and keep those to myself. Then I started to show them to my best friend. Trust me it was the best thing I have ever done. I got excellent feedback. All those were not good feedback, but those helped me to write good poems. And my poems became better day by day. Seeing me improving was the best feeling ever. If you have some passion like that, don’t hide it thinking that it’s not good enough or people will laugh at you. Just show it to someone and the result will be more than what you expected. May be you love coding which is good, if that what you make you happy the most then you can make living out of that. But I know most of us choose coding as our career but deep deep down we love some other things like arts, writing, singing, playing musical instruments etc. Now is the time to find it. Take a day or two try everything you feel like which makes you happy by doing. At the end you will find that this is what makes me happy the most. Once you find it you embrace it. Make it as a habit. If you love drawing, tell your self that I’m going to draw something new in each week. If you like to design, tell your self that you are going to design something new in every week. Me loving writing I promised myself to write one blog post per week. Sometimes I fail, but that’s fine. I keep trying, I fight with my inner lazy thoughts and manipulate myself to do it somehow. Even though I love writing only thing that matters is start writing. Once I opened the my laptop and come to medium, I can’t just stop writing the blog post. But if I didn’t take the first step then I won’t do it ever. So this is all about the first step. Once you take it you keep going. Because you love what you are doing.

Don’t do things that you don’t like. If you are forced to do things you don’t like it’s time to you to take a decision. To live your day to the fullest you should make sure that you are happy with yourself. If you are not then you are doing something wrong. Doesn’t matter you earn loads of money, but at the end if yourself is not happy what’s the point? I always make sure to choose myself over everything. I’m more than willing to go to a downgrade for what I love to do. Well I love what I do as a profession, that really doesn’t matter to me. But if you feel like you don’t do anything that you love, this is the time to take a decision and change your path to whatever you love. But first find what you desire to do and don’t just change. Keep doing whatever you do right now because you need money for living. And find a way to make money out of the thing you love to do. And if you feel like it’s working then change it. It’s okay to take a risk, as long as you stay in your comfort zone you won’t find anything new. May be the things you love to do may be help you earn more money. May be not. If it’s not make it as your part time job. Well I would say keep trying whatever that you like. Spare some hours of the day doing what you love.

Learn something new in every day. It can be a new language or new subject. Anything new. We all have access to the internet. So why not spend some time browsing something new. It can be a new word. Something new. If you searched there are so many things that you can read on the internet while you waste your time on the things which doesn’t add any value. We all do waste our time, we might not fully avoid that but reduce.

What else that can be done to live the a day to the fullest? Take yourself out. Have a coffee run, go to a coffee shop with your journal and let your thoughts to dance with the words while sipping your favorite cup of coffee or hot chocolate or anything you prefer. Sit with yourself and talk to you. I always do that. I love the time I spend with myself more than anything else. You should feel it that you need some time for yourself. You should feel when you are messaging with someone, I need to stop this I need some time with myself. That’s so important. Your phone needs to charge to function so do yourself. Put your phone to do not disturb mode, you won’t get distracted. Just spend that 30 mins or whatever the time possible with yourself. You will see the different.

If you were able to follow these things in every day, you can go to bed and sleep without regrets. Funny fact, when I switched off my lights in the bed room and put my fairy lights on I feel so calm. I think it helps me a lot to have a nice sleep. I highly recommend all of you all to get some fairy lights not just to decor the room but just to have that calm and nice sleep you deserve.

I hope this post will encourage you to do something new or help you to improve yourself or both. Remember what matters is self satisfaction. At the end of the day if you are happy with who you are and what you did that what matters the most. Love yourself and live your life the way you love.
