How to Be Spontaneous

Living by your palm pilot or by a calendar can become both stressful and mundane. Adding a little spontaneity to your life can make you feel more alive. Break free from your well-planned life and take some time to act on a whim. Here are some great ways to be spontaneous.

Instructions

• 1

  Do something nice for someone else. Buy flowers or candy for someone who wouldn't expect it. Don't wait for a holiday, anniversary or birthday. Just do it and surprise them.

• 2

  Treat yourself whenever you feel like it. Go get a massage or a pedicure just for fun. You deserve it.

• 3

  Throw together a last minute weekend vacation. Check for special prices on flights or hotels and book it. You can be spontaneous and save money on a vacation at the same time since most flights and hotels offer great last minute deals.

• 4

  Free up some time in your busy schedule for an afternoon off. Spend the time doing whatever you want. Catch a movie or go shopping. Bring a friend along to enjoy your no plans afternoon with you.

• 5

  Play with your kids. Simply play with them instead of doing the laundry or dishes.

• 6

  Dine alone or catch a movie alone. You don't have to fight over where to eat or what movie to see. The choice is yours. Have fun just being spontaneous.
