10 Ways to Escape Living A Mediocre Life

Every day, we are faced with decisions that will either make our lives better or worse. However, most of the time these decisions go unmade and we end up living a mediocre life.

I'm not saying you need to change your whole life in one day but if you have been feeling like something is missing from your life then this post is for you! It's time to make the decision that will change your life into something great. This blog post is about how you can escape living a mediocre life and start living an amazing one!

What is a Mediocre Life?

A mediocre life can be a difficult way to live. It means settling for what you have and never pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, which limits how far you take things.

When we settle in this way, it's not uncommon to find ourselves living an unfulfilling lifestyle that leads to mediocre relationships and mediocre jobs.

10 Ways to Escape Living A Mediocre Life 

1. Challenge Yourself

The best way to escape a mediocre life? Start by challenging yourself to do things you never thought you could.

When you challenge yourself, you force your brain and body to grow so that they can handle the new challenges (and risks) which come with it. This will not only change your life, but it will also change you.

Even if it's to do something as simple as speaking up at a meeting when you've never done so before, then your life will start changing. You'll be taking away the mediocre in your life by pushing past the fear, anxiety, and doubt that keeps you playing small.

2. Find Yourself

Discover your passions, what you love to do, and who you are. This can be the most difficult part of escaping a mediocre life but it's also the most important because when we know ourselves, then we have more clarity in our lives.

When we're clear on who we are and what matters to us, everything else falls into place and we have everything we need to live a mediocre life that's full of meaning.

3. Take Risks

Life is a risk. You take risks every day to find the same type of jobs, relationships, and opportunities that are available only because someone else took the same risk before you.

When we live approach life this way, we don't push ourselves at all so this means taking fewer risks which leads to an even more mediocre life.

4. Find Your Purpose

You're here for a reason and it's time to figure out what that is.

When we find our purpose in life, being mediocre becomes a thing of the past.

There are so many ways to find your purpose, from volunteering in your community or spending more time with family members and friends that you love.

The only way you'll know what it is for you is by taking some time to think about who you are, what really matters to you, and what you want your life to be.

5. Find new opportunities

If you're wondering why you feel so bored at work, it's because you haven't found opportunities that have the potential to change your life.

You can find new opportunities by looking in places where people are doing things differently or making decisions that lead to something different.

Maybe this is a decision like changing jobs and giving up on what feels safe for the opportunity for something new.

6. Get over your fears

We all have fears and mediocre lives are often the result of these fears.

Fear of taking a chance on something new.

Fear of not being accepted for who you are.

Fear that everyone's right and is better than you could ever be.

The thing about these fears? They're all 100% normal but they also don't have to define your life or hold you back from living the mediocre free life that you deserve.

It's time to get over your fears and allow yourself the chance at a great life.

7. Live in the Moment

Maybe you spend most of your time thinking about what could go wrong or how to prepare for everything that may happen.

This rigidity leads us to miss out on moments as they are happening and we can't even remember how mediocre was better than this moment.

So don't worry about your fears and focus instead on living in the moment because it's these moments that give us life.

8. Be willing to embrace change

Change causes us to grow and step out of our comfort zones. These are two things that mediocre people don't do. Change makes us uncomfortable and this is not good enough for living a mediocre life full of comfort and mediocrity.

Allowing change to happen will bring about growth, happiness, and an even more fulfilling life in the end.

9. Live with passion

When we live mediocre lives, it's often because there is no real sense of purpose or meaning to our days and this comes from living without passion.

When we're passionate about what we do in life and how we are spending the time that has been given to us, mediocre becomes something completely different. Mediocre ceases to exist when we live with passion.

10. Live with intention

A mediocre life is one that feels like you're just living and not really doing anything meaningful.

But when we live this way, it's because we don't have any real sense of what our lives are about or who were are as people so this makes us feel lost in the middle of nowhere without even realizing it.

This is where living with intention comes in. When we live a mediocre life, it's because of not having any sense of purpose but when we live with intention and know why we're doing what we're doing and who were are as people.
