Inject Inspiration Into The Dull Day-to-Day Life

Following a routine, day after day, can lead to boredom. While some might find it liberating to follow a pattern, others struggle with it. Ultimately, when your day-to-day life doesn’t reflect who you are, your mind can begin to rebel. Whether you feel that your office career doesn’t satisfy your ambitions, or whether you start to question your choices and desires, a dull routine can do a lot more than bore you. It can affect your mental health and lead to anxiety and depressive disorders. However, when you don’t identify with your daily habits and tasks any longer, you need to find a way back to yourself. Inspiration, as it happens, can guide you out of the torpor of the routine. But inspiration is a vast and abstract subject. Where do you start to put your life back on track?  Social Lifestyle Magazine #Lifestyle 🏄

SWISS WATCHMAKER HAMILTON CELEBRATES 100 YEARS IN AVIATION WITH LIMITED-EDITION TIMEPIECE

The histories of wristwatches and human flight can’t help but be intertwined. When aviation was in its early days, pioneering pilots turned to Hamilton ( shop.hamiltonwatch.com ) for more accurate timepieces to back up their cockpit instruments. In fact, as early as 1918, Hamilton was the official timekeeper of the first U.S. Airmail flights. By the mid-1930s, the brand had become the official watch of four major U.S. airlines, and later would develop and supply watches for military forces, air rescue services and more. Hamilton has carefully guarded its reputation in the aviation world, partnering only with the finest rescue and flight teams.  LA Confidential Magazine #Fashion 💎
