And think about as well why you are doing them.
Why are you drinking?
Why are you still seeing these people?
Why are you still living in the city?
Do you need these things in your life if they make life harder?
Sometimes being in a funk is made worse by looking at all the things you have to go through in the next few weeks and months ahead, looking at all the things in your to-do list and wanting to do none of them.
And just feeling a deep sense of like, there is nothing to look forward to because my circumstances are crap.
This has a name, it's called anticipatory dread.
Basically our brain scans the future, thinks about all the horrible things waiting for us that could or couldn't happen.
And that makes us feel terrible because it borrows all the future frustration, anger, annoyance, and it makes it your current problem.
Again, have a genuine sit down, have an intervention with yourself tonight.
What are the pain points in your life?
What are the points that, what are the things you keep bumping up against and keep going out and haven't thought to remove?
Once you do that, then you can get down to kind of adding things in.
And the first thing I think everyone should be prescribed more of is time in nature.
People are increasingly turning to nature-based interventions to deal with like the cognitive overload of modern life because it resets something really fundamental in us, mainly our natural human drives.
Being in nature resets our curiosity, resets our attentional systems.
resets our sense of awe.
In fact, there is this fascinating idea I personally love called the biophilia hypothesis, which basically says that every human, all of us, we are innately driven to seek out a connection with nature and to return to nature.
And when that is prevented, we suffer.
