Feeling bored? Here are 8 new things to try today

Everyday is an opportunity to do something different and to try something new - a new dish, a new routine, a new look, but not necessarily a new you. It’s not about changing who you are, but something to broaden your experience, or add variety to what you have grown accustomed to. Of course with some restrictions still in effect, you gotta be creative.  But when asked what you do for fun or what interesting thing you’ve tried out lately, wouldn’t it be great to talk about something out of character and equally productive?

Learn a new language

Digital connectivity brought the world within reach, and being able to speak a new language opens more opportunities to meet, make new friends and learn a different culture. 

Learn to cook a new dish

Home confinement gave rise to more people cooking and baking at home. While some people find it economical and a healthier option, there is a significant number of people who say that adventurous cooking with new ingredients and cool kitchen gadgets is both relaxing and rewarding.   Check out these interesting kitchen gadgets we found in Lazada.

Practice Yoga

Yoga helps you focus and relax. It increases flexibility, muscle strength, and improved respiration, just to name a few of its physical benefits. Yoga also helps manage stress and improve one’s mental well-being. Dressing up for the task helps raise your motivation,  Silouex’s Active Wear Yoga gives you adequate support for a serious workout. The thumb hole feature keeps the sleeves from riding up when doing stretches, less the distraction and more on the concentration.


Learn to play a musical instrument

Learning to play a musical instrument lowers your stress levels because it refocuses attention to a positive and enjoyable activity. It also improves the cognitive memory because learning to play one requires the use of both the right and left part of the brain, which works the brain harder and improves memory.  A ukelele is a fun instrument to start with.
