Hi, I’m having trouble setting my life straight.

I’m not going to lie, I don’t have any problems that involve a real problem such as starvation in other countries, I realize this is a meaningless problem following the suite of any problem like that, but I would like to thank you for wasting your time reading my problem.

Now then,
How to explain:
At one point in my life, I was able to wake myself happily out of bed. Usually by arguing “why not” or “there is no purpose to sleep extra.” and basically, like a robot, I would get up. Every action I would make would be a logical decision.
After a while, (opposite to what you might be thinking) this worked extremely well. I was… how you might say… being proactive. I got everything done and everything went well. I was prepared for everything and I was getting things done; Now that I think about it… I relied on talking to people for short spurts and sessions of break time…
in any case; I have returned to the average person. I no longer jump out of bed to start the new day. I wait.

How do I grow mentally stronger?
How do you?

I read stuff. I discuss with whoever will listen. I think a lot and question myself when it comes to the principles I’ve come up with.

I ask “Why” a lot.

I don’t know what you mean by average person.

And I wasn’t thinking that your logical approach to life was odd.

You’re doing good to recognize that same routine has become monotonous. It is perfectly natural for your motivations to change. Asking yourself to enjoy a predictive routine is no less than being a grumpy-stubborn-old-fart set his his/her ways. You obviously enjoy the fresh feeling of a new day and need something to keep you looking forward.

When I found myself in the same doldrums as you, I picked up a lot of new things. I didn’t expect to enjoy them, I expected find out if they were my thing. I promised myself to do something new and give it full opportunity to become a hobby and interest. If an activity turned out to be lame, I ditched it and moved on. Five years later I know I enjoy golf, skydiving, camping, learning music (piano), swimming, running, dating, and traveling. Each of these activities lead me to new people and new experiences which improved either a physical skill or a social skill but were mentally engaging nonetheless. Extremely engaging, I should say. Try something. When you know it’s not your thing, move on to something else. No harm, no foul. It’s the movement in any direction that you seek. Your interests and personality will guide you.

You’re on a good path. Perhaps you’re not really looking to set your life straight.. perhaps it’s the meandering that keeps your mind thinking and your spirits soaring. Best Wishes. -L
