Sometimes I feel so Groundhog Day. Each day merges into the next and the next. But unlike the movie there’s no magic trick to break the spell. Sleep eat work tv housework weekday weekend repeat.
@Seagoon_@SituationCake When I start feeling that way, it's usually a sign for me that something has to change, or I need a bigger goal to look forward to.
Is it time to take up a new hobby? New job? Move house? Do something on the weekend you wouldn't normally do? Join a community group? Plan something? Catch up with an old friend or meet a new one?
This was me last couple of years. I don't feel it atm as I'm new to my jobs and I certainly think getting out of my house for work helps make it less monotonous, but I can see it happening again on the horizon.
Its an useful feeling, it prompts change and makes us into more interesting people with more to offer the world. What's really helped in the past has been having a meaningful goal to work towards (savings being an obvious one), and in better times, scheduling in something unusual or out of the ordinary when I can (an overnight trip somewhere new, trying out a new activity, even looking at and applying for new jobs). I may not necessarily enjoy the latter, but it does provide enough contrast/discomfort to help me regain appreciation for my life or remember why I originally chose to play certain things safe.
