How Can You Make Your Day to Day Life More Enjoyable?
Common Experiences in Day to Day Life
There are times in your life when you may feel that life has become:
- A very hard slog with little reward in site or
- A boring non-challenging experience or
- A lonely experience.
What can you do if any of these characterisations applies to your life right now?
1. Identify Your Own Experience
Begin by acknowledging what the issue is for you. Is it any of the experiences mentioned above (a hard slog/bordeom/loneliness) or is it something else?
2. Do What You Can to Address the Difficulty
Once you have identified what the issue is for you, instead of moaning about it, do what you can realistically do to address the difficulty.
- If you are exhausted, consciously try to create some 'downtime' for yourself when you can relax. Even if it seems to you that you have to work or help others or do tasks all the time, the likelihood is that if you deliberately make just a little space for yourself to have breaks or a little time to do what you want then you will be able to do your other tasks more efficiently and with a healthier more relaxed mindset.
- If you are bored, go out of your way to start trying out something new that you think you might like or to pursue interests or passions. What have you done before that you liked doing? How can you put yourself in a situation where you can do something similar again?
- If you are lonely, think about how you can put yourself in a situation where you meet people who share similar interests to yourself or with whom you might have relaxed conversations. My suggestion would be not that you try to find a wonderful cure to your loneliness or one person who might save you from your loneliness, but that you seek opportunities to develop and build on friendships.
If your experience of day to day life has become negative for some other reason than the above, then once you have identified the nature of your experience, ask yourself what would a reasonable person in my situation with my experience do? Then try to do it yourself!
