OUT OF THE BOX

Sometimes, we are just too focused on the afterthought of our actions that we forget that life can be a whole lot funny, too! If you are a type of person who is anxious of saying, doing and behaving in the right manner all of the time, afraid to commit mistakes, and a stickler for order, well, that's commendable if it doesn't stress you. But on a funny note, have you heard of out-of-the-box behavioral experiments? 

To experiment doing things that you think will embarass you in public could be a real stressor for some people. But, the act of doing it intentionally could be a whole lot of fun and will unload you of those bad day stresses. I've tried some silly experiments and they just gave me the stitches.

Here are some of the silly things I've done to relieve me of work and life-related stress. Believe me, it's fun!

1.  Asking for the right direction and going the opposite way. Ha, the funny look of the direction-giver is just so enjoyable.

2. Selling my stuff to telemarketers who call when I'm busy.  Believe me, they'd be the first to hang up on you. 

3.  Reading a book upside down orally.  When someone corrects you, just smile and say, "Oh, thank you".

4.  Dancing like crazy to a slow beat music. Take note of your hubby/wifey's questioning look.

5.  Going to Jollibee and insisting on buying a halo-halo. When the staff tells you they don't have it, apologize and say "Your store looks like... (mention your favorite halo-halo store). Observe the staff' and other customers' bewildered faces.

The idea here is you can always commit mistakes. Don't be afraid of them. After all, they can be great spices to an enjoyable day.

So what funny, silly things have you done in your life?

Have a great, enjoyable time!
