A buckwheat pillow could just be your ticket to a new lease on life. I know so many people who have become just a “stick in the mud”. They’ve become so “stuck in a rut” that their life just has to be boring. Remember the old song “Life Gets Tedious, Doesn’t it?” Life doesn’t have to, and shouldn’t, be that way.
However, inertia is a formidable adversary when it comes to breaking out of that suffocating routine. But if you’re ever going to get out of it, you’ve got to start somewhere.
I have a suggestion. Start by buying a buckwheat pillow. Now, I’m assuming you’ve probably never heard of a buckwheat pillow, or if you have, you probably don’t really know what they are. So investing in one would be the first step in breaking out of your old hum drum status quo way of life.
It’s a relatively easy, but different and unfamiliar step, which is what you need to do to start breaking out of your shell. It starts to break down that inertia I wrote about earlier. Once you’ve experienced all the good, comfortable sleep that results from that choice, it will be a positive incentive to make more innovative decisions which will pull you a little further out of your rut. It may encourage you to take some more drastic steps, like eating some grilled asparagus (it’s delicious), or taking a ride on a ferry (it’s fun).
The sky is the limit. You might take a course in growing bonsai trees, (an ancient japanese art of stunting the growth of trees to make tiny miniature ones), or learn to play a musical instrument. What the heck, enroll in college or run for political office. People just don’t realize the potential that can result from buying that first buckwheat pillow.
