Become a mystery to yourself because if you know what you are going to do tomorrow, if you know how you're going to make the bed, if you know the kinds of clothes you'll buy the next time you go shopping and you definitely know what type you won't buy, if you think yourself beautiful or unbeautiful, if you are wed or unwed, if all those things are so apparent, then you are so stuck in a boring life.  And everywhere you turn you see reflections of your own boredom.
