3 Ways to Spark Mystery

Life is full of mysteries we only have to try and discover them.

The role of mystery in our lives is important to our well-being and has the potential to spark wonder, curiosity, hope, and a sense of awe. The allure of the unknown has driven human endeavors throughout history, from scientific inquiries to artistic creations. It is mystery combined with feelings of discomfort, that has flourished human creativity and helped push the boundaries of knowledge and understanding. Besides being afraid of the unknown, let us embrace it because it is one of the foundational concepts that has made humans thrive. Here are three ways to spark some mystery in our lives.

3 Ways to Spark Mystery

Read Diverse Literature

If you read the same kind of content all day every day you will never discover something new. Diversifying the books you read can lead to concepts and ideas that are unknown to you. Explore the depths of the unknown ocean that lies inside your soul. If you only read fantasy and sci-fi books why not try out a philosophy book, or even a cookbook of cuisines from a culture that you don’t know much about? Mystery is all around us waiting to be discovered, try not to get stuck on one concept or world. Get into your ship, and go out on a journey in your mind.

Foster Serendipity

Allow room for serendipity in your life. Be open to unexpected opportunities and spontaneous experiences. Unplanned moments or purchase often accompanies mystery. An interesting blog called “Wrapped In Serendipity” explains how interior decorations and the way your room, or house looks represent you and your soul. The unplanned purchases you keep in your room create a unique and mysterious personality. All our rooms and spaces of living look different from one another which is a lovely mystery in itself. If you enjoy interior decoration, home stuff, and colors, you should stop by their website, oh they also have an Etsy shop. I encourage you the next time you have a free day and a little pocket change to go out somewhere new and buy something spontaneously.

Keep a dream journal

I enjoy journaling my ideas, and writings, but I have yet to keep a dream journal. One year I kept having the same dream over and over again so I wrote that dream down (it was about me meeting someone that I never met before but we shared the same soul) but now that I am older my dreams seem like a gateway to mystery. Our subconscious mind is strange and mysterious by keeping a journal and writing these dreams down we can read and analyze what our mind is thinking when we aren’t controlling it.

Striving for Balance:

The overall goal to strive for in life is balance. If we balance consumption, emotions, money, entertainment, etc. we can live a content life. Balancing what we know and what we don’t know can lead us to find the essence of our human existence.
