30 Ways To Feel More Alive Again- not in order of importance:
1. Step outdoors
Take a brisk walk while focusing on the sunshine and the fresh air. Notice the little things like birds and butterflies or even animal tracks in the snow. Claim a part of this freedom of movement and fresh air for your own. And breathe a thank you.
2. Sit quietly on your balcony or in your backyard
Listen to the silence or mute the cacophony of unpleasant noise with some noise- cancelling earbuds. Rethink your goals, your activities, your abilities, your opportunities, and your gifts.
3. Run
Even if you haven’t run in years, give it a try. Carefully. Running awakens the youth in us. Just a few bursts of over-the-top energy added to your regular walk will intensify the euphoria of spontaneity.
4. Invite a friend to join you for a walk in the park, a cup of coffee, a quiet enjoyment of a sunset.
5. Pick up an order of Mexican food on the way home from work.
6. Sing
Even if you live alone, start singing. Sing loud and feel the joy. Praise God songs. Funny little songs. Just sing. Let the music flow through your body and let your body move with the music. Be surprised how your singing improves as you release the tension.
7. Extend a helping hand
Volunteer in a church or organizational group – to help provide food and shelter; tutor children; clean up an area; drive an elderly neighbor to the store or to the doctor. So many places to serve that get us out of ourselves, enlivens us, as we serve where needed.
8. Go for a drive
Roll down the windows when you hit a country road. Feel the thrill of freedom behind the wheel.
9. Give Thanks
For everything. Calling to mind each thing, large and small, in our lives that makes us who we are and thanking God for his provision and protection.

10. Do Something for Yourself
Get a new hairstyle. Buy a shirt with a touch of color. Replace that old jacket. You are worth the splurge.
11. Exercise – yes, the age-old advice.
It does not have to be overly strenuous or involve expensive equipment. Walk two miles a day; learn to stretch. which is the most age defying type exercise with immediate feel-good results. Join a group for added motivation. Join a gym if you need even more motivation.
12. Skip
Skip down the hallway. Skip, skip, skip, and laugh.
13. Get rid of the clutter
Start with the catch-all by the backdoor. Then rid your closet of things you no longer wear or need. If you have trouble with this, put some questionably useful items in a labeled box in the storage room on hold for a year before giving to charity.
14. Call a friend
Meet up with a friend. Renew old friendships and don’t be afraid of making new ones. People need people.
15. Attend a church service
Join a Life Group in a local church. Find the support of positive and joyous people.

Cheer the kids in neighborhood games. Find a pro team to follow in person or on TV. Yell for them. Yes, even at home alone!
17. Try a new restaurant
