Time for a lifestyle reboot
Your lifestyle may have evolved without planning or thought. As a child, I rarely had to worry about my choices. They were usually made for you. Besides, the novelty of life shone with excitement. Every day was a daring adventure filled with the unknown.
Even as a young adult, there was reason to feel the enthusiasm. Perhaps you were starting a new job or school, moving to a new neighborhood, or enjoying the honeymoon thrill of a new relationship. I didn’t fall. I didn’t have to work to maintain an attractive lifestyle. “Newness” kept everything fresh.

Familiarity is comforting, but it also breeds stagnation. Repetition can make even the most exciting job drowsy.
Think of boredom as a trigger for introspection. If you’re feeling bored, you may be taking a passive approach to your frustration. Instead of looking for creative solutions to boredom, we passively scroll and consume media. By detaching rather than challenging frustration, you train your brain to detach from frustration.
Unresolved frustrations eventually turn into oppression, sapping energy and sapping life. Despair for the future robs you of the joy of living in the present.

- explore new passions: Childhood is full of wonders. Adulthood, less so. That means finding new passions and interests is your burden. Take a dance class, start a new exercise routine, join a writer’s group. Whatever you do, choose something unique. Keep exploring, meet new people, travel. Extend yourself and you will hardly get bored with the lifestyle.
- Develop Mindfulness Practices: The main function of mindfulness practice is to shine a light on the parts of yourself that are impairing your outlook. For example, complaining all the time makes everything feel pointless. Taking time to think about the unconscious choices that shape your perspective empowers you to make new choices.
