Another thing I do which works for me is having breakfast outside! Yes, that is a wonderful day to kick-start your day! There are some amazing breakfast places in Bangalore like Smokehouse Deli and I keep hopping from one to another each time I am eating breakfast out. This provides a new kind of change to my otherwise monotonous life! You can try it too, I can vouch for it!
Have you ever tried walking a distance which you daily travel in an automobile? Walk for a short distance—let go of the car for a day and walk back home! It is a unique way to surprise your dull life! You would be astonished to see the many things you neglect otherwise! I discovered a quaint little restaurant tucked away in a lane while doing so the other day, and guess what I have tasted the best smoked food in Bangalore there!
It is nothing big, just small things that make the difference. Try it, it may help!
