10 Thing to Do to Make Yourself Feel Alive!
That's what rock concerts have in common with having sex and getting exercise. They make us feel alive, and they make us wonder why we don't do them more often.
1. Spend a day at the beach The sun, the surf, the sand and the sound of waves crashing always stimulate my senses and get the blood flowing. Better yet, play some volleyball or frisbee, go for a jog or do some surfing while you're there.
2. Go for a swim. There's something about giving in to the sheer power of water that puts everything in perspective.
3. Attend a rock concert Like I said in the opening, a mass of people and loud music have a way of inspiring you.
4. Get close to nature Hiking, camping and anything else that gets you out of the concrete jungle for a while is a fantastic way to clear your head and remember you're part of a living planet. For bonus points, go backpacking and spend the night without any electricity or modern conveniences.
5. Start a workout routine It doesn't take long to start to feel the high from a regular workout routine. It doesn't have to be anything specific (jogging, weights, spin or yoga are all good candidates), just work out regularly.
6. Get it on Make love, have sex, do it, whatever you want to call it. What makes us feel more alive than the act that creates life itself?
7. Get jiggy with it OK, dancing may not be for everyone (I have friends who would rather take a poke in the eye from a hot stick), but if you're inclined to dance it's a great way to feel good.
8. Travel somewhere new and "dangerous" It doesn't really have to be dangerous, but traveling somewhere out of your comfort zone will definitely make you feel alive.
9. Go skiing or snowboarding The cold elements, reflected sunshine and speed all add up to a pulse-quickening afternoon on the mountain. A burger and brew never tasted better than after a day of skiing or snowboarding.
10. Play an organized sport Basketball, soccer, softball, whatever the sport, doing something organized with a team is a life-affirming experience.
