Change the direction.

"Change it. But start slow, because steering is more important than speed. Sit in another chair on the other side of the table. Later move table. When you leave, try to walk on the other side of the street. Then, change the path, walk quietly in other streets, watching carefully the places you go. Change your clothing style for a while; give yourself the old shoes and try to walk barefoot for a few days - even if it is at home. Take a whole afternoon to walk freely, listen to the birdsong or the noise of cars. Open and close the drawers and doors with your left hand. Sleep on the other side of the bed. Then try sleeping on other beds. Watch other TV shows, read other books, live other novels - even if it's in your imagination. Sleep later Sleep early. Learn a new word a day. Eat a little less, eat a little more, eat differently; choose new seasonings, new colors, things you've never dared to experience. Have lunch in other places, go to other restaurants, buy bread at another bakery. Have lunch earlier, have dinner later, or vice versa. Try the new every day: the new side, the new method, the new flavor, the new way, the new pleasure, the new position. Choose another market, another brand of soap, another toothpaste. Take a shower at new times. Use pens of other colors. Go and visit other places. Love more and more, in different ways. Exchange your purse, your wallet, your bags, buy new glasses, write other poems. Open account in another bank. Go to other cinemas, other hairdressers, other theaters, visit new museums. Change it. And seriously think (if you're not satisfied) to get another job, a new occupation, a job more like what you expect from life, more human. If you find no reason to be free, make them up: be creative. And enjoy an unpretentious, long journey. Try new things. Replace it. Change it again. Try it again. You will certainly know better things and worse things than you have known, but that is not what matters. The most important is the change, the movement, the dynamism, the energy. Only what is dead does not change, and you are alive. "Source: Edson Marques.
