A short list of things I think everyone should try or do at least once in their life that will make you feel more alive. Not all of these are applicable to every person, but itβs a summary:
Take a dance class of any style with a semi-serious instructor for at least 4 classes worth
Write a work of fiction, of *any* length and *any* quality
Learn a least a bit of a language that isnβt your native one. You donβt need to become anywhere near fluent, but try and get a bit beyond yes, no, and whereβs the bathroom. If youβre from a country where most people are bilingual already, that doesnβt count! Get bits of a language with which you are truly unfamiliar.
In the same vein, make peace with subtitles and start consuming music, TV and movies from cultures that arenβt your own. If your country imports large amounts of media from a specific other culture or cultures (American movies in foreign markets, for example) that also doesnβt count! Get some feelers out to begin to take in content from a culture that you donβt already have a lot of knowledge of.
Try at least one less common/less βexerciseyβ and more fun type of physical exercise such as roller blading or roller or ice skating, gymnastics, trampoline, rock climbing, aerial silks, pole dancing, surfing, etc
Learn a hobby or craft that produces a physical finished product and produce a single, complete object - regardless of quality - that you can hold in your hands and say that you made.
Look up a how itβs made video or YouTube video on how an item thatβs interesting or relevant to you is made
Give one type of thing - media, hobby, sport, whatever - that youβve never been interested in or never tried because of some preconceived perception an honest shot and see if your perception was correct. Sometimes it wonβt be, sometimes it will be, but itβs valuable to know.
