Every Day is a Drag….

I think everyones life is as meaningless or meaningful as he or she makes it. In other words life is whatever you say it is. In your case, lately it seems life is boring and mundane, because the decisions you make day in and day out, lead you to feel bored.

I get that completely. I have thought and acted in similar ways which led me to feel similarly.

A couple thoughts/ideas that have helped me counteract and/or minimize the amount of time I spend thinking and acting in ways that lead me down the road of existential angst:

1. Take the ‘wrong’ out of boredom.

Try to separate the state of having ‘nothing’ to do, from what you are saying to yourself about that situation and about the fact that you are in that situation. If you are able to separate what you are saying about the situation you are in from the situation itself… you may find that you have the power to say something else to yourself about the situation… and when you’re able to see that, you may feel and be more empowered to change the situation… when you choose to do so.

2. Embrace the inherent meaninglessness of life.

Accepting it makes you free to create. There are no rules except the ones you create for yourself. Sure, society has all sorts of rules, but you choose to abide by them or not, it’s all up to you, no matter what. The life you live, is the life you are creating with every choice you make.

Thought. Action (or inaction). Result.

The inherent meaninglessness of lie gives you the freedom to make up/pretend that life means whatever you say it means.

‘It’s hard to try…’

Yes it is… but it is not impossible, right?
