As everyone has started school, or is just about to start classes I will give you one piece of advice. I am an artist, consultant, business woman, tutor, and so much more and have seen lots of people get tired of their activities very early in the year, you know "burn out". My advice is to do the opposite of whatever it is that you do normally - at least one day a month!
If you are stuck in the office during the week, make a plan to camp somewhere outside your area, or go on a one day hike (if camping is not your thing) but remember to focus on the smallest of creatures and plants that nature has provided. Don't just see the forest, a massive green block, see the individual trees that make the forest a monochromatic design, with its nuances in each pine or leaf or even the petals that grow on vines intertwined, hugging each tree, or is it suffocating? Anyway - take a moment to do something different and notice what you simply take for granted.
On the other hand, if you are outdoors all the time, join in some social interaction indoors! Go to Karaoke, if you are "into rock" (music - that is), try country, if you are into scary movies, try something on a different level - soft and sweet - the trick is to mix it up. I find that usually I am by myself when I venture out to the movies, but the best way to see a movie is to go with a group of friends (not too many) - and afterwards go get some coffee or whatever and discuss it... it's kinda like a book club, but with a movie instead! Of course if you're like me, after I see a movie I just text everyone and give them my "thumbs up / thumbs down" review, whether anyone asks for my opinion or not. haha...
Enjoy life to its fullest - whether you are alone or with someone special. Make it work for you - "Alone" is not necessarily Lonely... there is so much to do in life - your adventure is just a moment away! Creativity is the key, go for a drive, take your camera, you'll be amazed at what you can find and do!!!
Let me know what adventure you decided to take... have fun!
