You may ask yourself... what is Werbow?
Life is precious, it is too short to sit back. You want to be able to look back on where you are right now, with no regrets. Life is meant to be challenging. We want to experience as much of it as we can before it is too late. I have had two close to death experiences, and now, I am finally understanding that concept. Life is not only about the good, but how you deal with the bad. Is it possible to make that bad feel good?
Think of all the enjoyable things you have done in the past year. Could you write a book about all your adventures? If you can not, it is time to set some goals. Dedicate your time into learning something as small as cooking or as big as making wine. Learn how to rock climb, surf, or paddle board. Something that will get you off your phone and off that couch. Your future self will thank you.
We like to watch other people doing fun things in life. Why can't we do it? There has been a set lifestyle put out for people on weekdays. To work, eat, go home and relax. Nothing wrong with working, as long as you love it. Relaxing is a great way to reset, as long as you are doing it right. I am guilty of sitting on my couch watching social media, wishing I was doing that. We get caught up in our busy life's and it can strip you of you precious memories.
Wouldn't you like to believe we were put on this earth for a reason? Time to make your own memories. Do things you want to do, not what looks cool. Have fun with friends and family, and experiencing new things. The worst that could happen is you don't like it and you learned that about yourself, but at least you could say I. did. that.
Maybe you are a beer or wine person. Have you done any research on local companies, how it is made, or how much it has been growing in the last decade? The more you know about something that interest you, the more desired you will feel about it. You can do the research for your friends, so they can learn from you. Now if everyone did that we would be teaching each other new, useful and conversational information. With that, you will be giving a word to the wise.
You will hear me discredit smartphones a lot, BUT it has brought so much knowledge to our everyday lives. We have a question? Boom, the internet has it. Want to learn how to make something at home? Boom... Google, YouTube, etc. The most useful thing about the internet, is, you have access to knowledge about anything, literally at your fingertips.
Challenge yourself to get in the habit of using a smartphone as a tool to assist in new experiences, not a social escape.
The first step change how life should go, in your own ways, is reading this post. Congratulations, hope this popped up some ideas in your head on what you will conquer next.
Get outside. Go alone, with a friend, or a loved one and share that experience. Do not get too caught up in exposing yourself to your followers or experiencing the same unenjoyable habits over again. Look up and give yourself a reminder to enjoy where you are right now.
To reiterate, put yourself in uncomfortable situations. There is so much to explore on this earth. New things to love, learn, people to meet, and the only person holding you back is you.
That is my definition of Werbow.
