Shake Yourself Up!
If you’re like most of us, you have a certain way of doing things in your life. You have a routine. This is a good thing because it brings stability to your world. However, if you’d like to have some fun, try this!
Shake everything up by doing things differently. Don’t follow your usual schedule. Mix things up. If you usually do your bookkeeping on the weekend, do it first thing Monday morning. Change your approach to your day. Drive to work a different way, if you can, or leave at a different time. If you usually drink coffee, try tea. Use Firefox as your internet server instead of Safari.
And to really shake things up, change your personality for a day. If you are usually outgoing and confident, be really quiet and unassuming for a day. And if you are a naturally subdued personality, ham it up and be more assertive and outgoing. If you are fairly humorless, watch some I Love Lucy reruns. And if you are a natural clown, put on Dr. Zhivago.
Do this because it is fun, yes. But even more, do it because it will shake you up inside and you might find yourself coming up with solutions to your dilemmas and a new way of viewing your life. This might take you out of your ruts and begin to fly on life’s open highways!

So, now I can't get the lyric of the Beatles song, "Twist and Shout " out of my mind so I'm just going to roll with it for now. " Well, shake it up, baby, now (shake it up baby)
Twist and shout (twist and shout)
Come on, come on, come, come on, baby, now (come on baby)
Come on and work it on out (work it on out)
I remember when someone in high school spent the whole day, I think it was St. Patrics Day, speaking with an Irish brogue. Not only did it shake things up for those around but it was very memorable. (you know that person too).
