Is it possible to live thousands instead of one life? Not in theory, hoping for a miracle of reincarnation, but here and now, today and many years from now, filling your memory with a stellar scattering of memories and multifaceted knowledge. This is possible if you learn new things every day. Then one destiny, consisting of many identical everyday life, will turn into a kaleidoscope of bright emotions and many-sided stories.
Get rid of unnecessary things
Not everyone is born a minimalist, and we find it difficult to part with things. However, it can help reduce stress, increase productivity, and even improve relationships.
To do this, select a time and a specific area. For example, on Friday afternoon, focus on work, and on Saturday, clean up the kitchen.
Donate items in good condition that you don't need to charities.
Try to evaluate your attitude towards unnecessary things and feel inspired when you get rid of them. This is a signal that you need to get rid of the clutter.
A book is the best gift
And in every sense of the word. It's hard to think of a more accessible way to feel like a new person every day. Only divine providence can explain this greatest gift to humanity. Reading gives you the opportunity to travel through centuries and distances. Try on personalities of all ages and classes. Gain the experience of many lives without leaving home.
The transition of literature into the electronic dimension has further expanded the reader's capabilities. On the Internet you can find sources of knowledge that previous generations did not even dare to dream about. This is the most obvious method, which is undeservedly ignored by many.
However, do not forget about printed publications. Modern district libraries have long ceased to evoke melancholy with dusty, empty shelves. In them you can find the latest novelties in printing. Presentations are often held with the participation of famous authors.
Streaming services
There is no more enchanting way than music to give yourself new experiences every day. There is an incredible number of genres and trends from classical to ultra modern. Thanks to the efforts of computer geniuses, all efforts to obtain pleasure are reduced to a minimum. All you have to do is register on the music service and take a survey, choosing the songs you like. The system will regularly offer new and popular works. This will undoubtedly expand the horizons, revealing new names and unexpected styles.

In addition, soldiers could be fined for various offenses, imprisoned in a guardhouse, demoted in rank, etc. And soldiers could also be flogged, but this measure of punishment was present exclusively in the Russian army. The leader of the execution list was Austria-Hungary, where 1,175 sentences were passed and 1,148 were carried out.
Blind date
4. Go on a blind date
A blind date is like Russian roulette: you never know what awaits you in the end, who you will meet and what this adventure may lead to.
The elements of surprise and excitement are very intriguing, since until the last moment you cannot even imagine what your partner looks like.
One of the advantages of blind dates is that such meetings eliminate the feeling of guilt and debt: if you don’t like a fan, you can safely decline his subsequent invitations and hints for further communication.
Thus, blind dates have a number of advantages. First of all, this is a great opportunity to meet someone interesting.
You can meet an excellent conversationalist with whom you will have an unlimited number of topics to discuss. And if you are especially lucky, there is a chance that you will make a good friend or meet your destiny.
5. Try an extreme sport
There are many who simply cannot live without extreme sports, while others consider such people to be daredevils or crazy.
Even if you do not belong to the category of those “crazy daredevils,” such an experiment will give you a lot of positive emotions.
Bungee jumping, kayaking, paragliding or swimming with white sharks will be an invaluable experience that will give you a thrill.
Such experiments can last from a few seconds to several minutes, but they can become the most unforgettable moments in your life.
Since extreme sports are highly traumatic and dangerous, you should take all precautions and do it with a professional instructor. Under no circumstances should you try to conquer the sky or snowy peaks on your own or swim alone.
6. Buy a stranger coffee
There is nothing easier than just treating a stranger to tea or coffee in a cafe. It would seem like such a small thing, but there will be a lot of positive emotions from such an act. The positive vibes you receive will give you energy for the whole day.
But this is just a simple cup of coffee.
In the 1980s, the New York City Subway was the most dangerous subway in the world.

Every week, 250 crimes of varying severity were committed here. But now everything has changed so much for the better that you can even see the mayor of the city or major officials on the subway.
GETTY IMAGES
The New York subway of the 80s was very eloquently described by the British writer and traveler Paul Theroux, who, on assignment from the New York Times, rode in different directions for days on end to get a feel for the atmosphere of the subway.
Here are just some of his impressions:
“Everything is scribbled and painted over,” “The subway is dirty from end to end by vandals,” “It stinks so much that you want to put a clothespin on your nose, and the noise literally tears your eardrums,” “What about security? Ask anyone and they will say that every day there are an average of two murders on the subway.”
We think this is enough to present this picture.

Before the assassination, Archduke Ferdinand planned the federalization of Austria
hungarytoday.hu
The Austrian Archduke (heir to the throne) Franz Ferdinand was assassinated on June 28, 1914 in Sarajevo (Bosnia) by members of the Serbian youth revolutionary organization. The victim of the terrorist attack was not chosen by chance. Franz Ferdinand was a tough realist in politics.
Back in 1906, he drew up a plan for transforming the dualistic monarchy. This project, if implemented, could extend the life of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, reducing the degree of interethnic contradictions.
In addition, Franz Ferdinand was categorically against a preventive war with Serbia and a conflict with Russia, since this would be disastrous for both Russia and Austria-Hungary. His removal freed the hands of the “war party.”
