GONNA MAKE A CHANGE

When I was in high school and college, I lived a non-stop life. I was constantly doing something, involved in something, planning something. My schedule was insanely full, but I balanced and excelled at it like a pro (at least I think so!) My brain was constantly being stimulated by something new and I rarely felt bored. 

Recently though - and I think since joining the "real world" - I feel like I've been in a little rut. Not that I don't do fun things during the week, I do a lot of that, thanks to my job. But I feel like for the most part if I don't have something planned, my days are pretty monotonous. I go to work for 8+ hours, sometimes work out, come home, eat dinner, go to bed. On some days, that's all I want to do because I'm exhausted. But other days, I think I just do that because it's become the norm... except I don't want that to be the norm.

I think it's easy in our 20's to get stuck in a routine that doesn't really define who we are. I know that I'm not the kind of person who spends every night laying on the couch, but without those structured and defined activities I had in high school and college, it's easy to get in that groove. To break my routine, I'm going to make it a point to start doing something new/different during the week, whether it's baking or cooking a new recipe, doing a craft, reading a book, or exploring a new-to-me part of Nashville. I'm tired of feeling "bored" and I'm ready to make the change that only I myself can make. 

Do you all ever feel this way or is it just me? What do you do to get out of your routine?
