Cool Cat Teacher Blog: 5 Wonderful Ways to Be Weird

5 Ways to be Weird (in a good way ;-)

  1. Break your routine. Go somewhere different. Go outside when you usually go inside. Eat a different kind of food.
  2. Associate with people who are different than you. Find someone who is not in your “circle of friends” this week and spend some time getting to know him/her. Ask him about his childhood. Ask her about her favorite things to do. Listen.
  3. Find something that inspires you. Search for your favorite creative pasttime on Youtube and learn something new.
  4. Do something creative. Art. Poetry. A Blog. Tweet a haiku. Take 15 minutes to create something out of the ordinary. Take a photograph.
  5. Turn off the technology. Take an hour, a day or a week and turn it ALL off. All of it. TV. Radio. (did I just say radio - who listens to that any more?) Cell phone. Computers. Twitter. All of it. Go somewhere to be alone without it. Or just sit in your house Clear your mind and think. Use a mindmap or your journal or whatever to just think about your life, something creative, anything. Just take a mental vacation. Tackle something you’ve been wanting to spend time thinking about. Just be.
