You may feel rebellious today and itch to go against the grain of your usual routine. Perhaps you are bored with your established schedule at work, home, or in your personal life. You could be thinking about ways you might bring some zeal or adventure into your world. If so, consider taking some risks today and doing things you might not normally do. If you usually adhere to a fairly consistent schedule, you might decide to do your tasks in a different order or add or eliminate certain responsibilities. You might also consider taking up a new activity or pursuing a work possibility that you were previously too scared to take on.

We welcome excitement and new experiences into our lives when we take risks. Everything we do that deviates from our tried routines, no matter how minor, can give us a sense of adventure. As we explore an uncharted experience, we may feel the thrill of nervous anticipation. We are suddenly completely engaged, with all of our senses at the ready. We feel hungry to experience each new bit of stimulation. We are like a character in a fairy tale, suddenly awakened from a years-long slumber and prepared to seek out and experience the world. Take risks today that force you to go beyond the bounds of your everyday routine, and you will enliven your life.
