One of the best ways to beat boredom is to add some moments of spontaneity to your day.

Are you feeling bogged down by well-organized routine? Are you tired of doing the same thing day after day? You want that element of zing, an element of surprise in your life. Then it's essential to give spontaneity a chance.

One of the best ways to beat boredom is to add some moments of spontaneity to your day. Drop that feeling of conformity. Give spur-of-the-moment a chance. Surprise a friend by visiting him/her unannounced. Take your kids for a picnic when all that they were expecting was doing their homework.

A study conducted by Stanford University in 2000 reported that "As Internet use grows, Americans report they spend less time with friends and family, shopping in stores or watching television, and more time working for their employers at home—without cutting back on their hours in the office. The more hours people use the Internet, the less time they spend with real human beings. Social isolation is on the rise. E-mail is a way to stay in touch, but you can't share a coffee with somebody on an e-mail or give them a hug."

When did you last write a letter to a loved one? Or even an email that is not official. Connect with an old friend, write a letter, bring in a surprise element in your intimate relationships. You can treat yourself by buying some flowers for yourself and see how much it can pep you up. Psychologists feel that moments of spontaneity like this can add sparkle to your day and make the day of those who are on the receiving end of your thoughtfulness.

Break the monotony of living life according to a routine, plan. Once in a while, it's fine to throw caution into the winds and follow your heart. An element of spontaneity can also help you deal with stress.
