How to make life exciting?

[coffegirl]

It may sound silly and uninspired,but the reason why I mostly fail to take action is that I easily get bored and most tasks simply do not create enough suspence to arouse my interest.
I admit that I am an adrenaline junkie-I like to do things that seem to be insurmountable.
In order to regain my momentum,things have to be thrilling,goals and intentions have to be beyond mediocrity-you know what I mean?
The problem is that the normal course of life seems to be completly different.
To be honest school doesn´t really fall into that category,homework and exams are not enthralling at all.
Getting up,going to school,eating lunch,doing homework+learning,showering,going to bed...there´s nothing exciting about a daily routine like that...
How can I benefit from my addiction and make my everyday life,especially my time at school,more exciting?

Start sh&t! I feel the same way, so I've started lots of things: I now co-run a local writers' group with 40 members (we meet once a month and have speakers), run a local parents' group with 25 members (we meet twice a month), and run an animal welfare organization with more than 1,000 volunteers (creativePAW: Creative Professionals for Animal Welfare).

What are your interests and passions? Can you start a group relating to any of them? Meetup.com lets you organize a group for something like $13 per month, and you can get free business cards for your group at Vistaprint.com. (I got some for the parents' group to give out to parents with babies I see when I'm out.) You can start a book group, a gaming group, a group for Buddhist students -- whatever you want. That way you'll be doing what you love, sharing your passion with others, meeting new people, and undertaking an exciting challenge.

one way you can start making life exciting is by doing things you have never done. Also to live each day as its your last.

There are an endless amount of things you can do to make your life more exciting. The first that you should do is make a list of all your fears then defeat them one by one facing your fears can be an exhilarating rush.

What do you get excited about?

It might be a matter of finding new hobbies, but it might just simply be a matter of finding joy in everything that already is in your life that you're not paying attention to.

Just a thought

I'd have an absolutely awesome life, everyday would be different and I'd do everything I ever wanted to do....

....if only I had money

I would echo the above advice, but also look at mastering some of the things you've enjoyed doing. Just because you like an adrenaline fix, doesn't mean you have to always do new things. By learning to be good at something, to become an expert, you can take an interest deeper. Break down an activity, how can you truly master it?

Read "Flow", by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. He gives examples of how even working in a factory a worker can avoid boredom by seeking to master their tasks.

Why do you think life is normally unexciting? How about taking some risks and therefore change your daily routine?
