Mid-week blues got hold of you again? Do you feel like taking a moment to breathe when everybody is busy pushing past each other in the rat race? Do you feel as if you have everything at your disposal and YET you’re not fulfilled? Well, welcome to the growing tribe of people who’d rather set aside time to invest in experiences which open their senses to life.
Sure, you smell of green but your greener pasture lies in the realm of truly living a life! And here are the top 5 ways you can invest in yourself –
1. Take the Road Less Traveled
Traveling is all about resting your mind, body and soul. It is about enriching not just your passport with visa stamps but also your memories. If you have the moolah then undiscovered nooks and crannies of the world are waiting for you to come and visit. Soak in the sights and sounds and lose yourself.
2. Music Is My Saviour
You can’t help but smile or sway when you hear good music? Then go scream your lungs out or head bang or dance furiously at music festivals of your choice. From Tomorrowland to Burning Man, from Glastonbury to Coachella, meet strangers and forge bonds made of musical notes. Or better still, follow your favourite band if they’re on the road.
3. Tingle Your Taste Buds
We strongly suggest you invest in expanding your palate. Because TBH we all make money essentially for roti, kapda aur makaan. So what is keeping you from letting your taste buds loose with some nigari, huitlacoche (fermented corn) or even molecular gastronomy? You’ll remember your food experiences forever!
4.Adrenaline High
If you’re an adrenaline junkie then you can fly high in space, dive deep with sharks or even scale mountains. Life is passing you by and an adventure waits for no one. So gather your guts and charge towards the experience of a lifetime.
5. Soak in Art & Literature
Feel dwarfed by the beauty of a Michelangelo or a Matisse, get lost in the corridors of the Louvre or invest in first editions of Dickens and Tolkien. Score a few front row seats to a play featuring your favourite actor or make some time out for a book reading by your favourite author – nourish your soul with such defining experiences that you’ll never forget them!
And if you want to live a life that is fantastic in every sense, then you need to take care of your money which will finance your aspirations and your goals.
