When Your Day-To-Day Stops Being Fun
What to do when you’re stuck in monotony and it’s bringing you down.
Mark Twain:
“Do something every day that you don’t want to do; this is the golden rule of acquiring the habit of doing your duty without pain.”
Creating habits is all the rage.
But if you’re stuck in a state of monotony, that won’t get you off the couch to go to your bed, much less lay the groundwork for creating a new or inspiring habit.
Sometimes things just stink, life is boring, and being in a state of same old, same old seems to be our destiny.
But, here’s what you should try to remember about monotony and drudgery, and what you can do to keep yourself from stumbling into a rut.
It happens
Things aren’t always gonna be fun, and the sooner you get real about that, the better off you’ll be.
You’ll have times in your work, for example, that you can’t believe this is your life.
That doesn’t mean you need to jump ship or question every decision you’ve ever made about what feeds your soul.
