How do you get excited for life?

[Anonymous]

I used to get excited about activities after Covid lockdowns I now realize most of life is just keeping busy and it doesn’t entertain me anymore life just feels like a slow movie how do you get to enjoy life again

Do something that puts you out of your comfort zone, do something that makes you scared. Do something that you would give 1 sincere though on, but dismiss it saying that you could never do it

This could mean anything, going on a tall roller coaster, asking someone out, buy something fun, go skydiving, or learn a new skill, the options are limitless.

The reason covid made us excited to do stuff is because it was outside of our normal lives, the social distancing and sitting at home. Just do something that you don’t do often

Thank you for the response and your right about getting out and trying something new thanks for that. I will say though I don’t mean Covid was new and exciting I meant I showed me life isn’t as exciting as I thought it was it rather boring because once lockdowns were over I was like oh I can do this stuff that wasent that cool anyway?

Ohhhh I see. So in that case, it would probably be very good for you to get out and rediscover curiosity. Covid made us all grow up fast, no matter our age, it squeezed the enjoyment and excitement of typical life out of us.

Life for everyone will never be the same as it was before covid, if it’s so boring, why wish it back, the same old excitement. Find new things, get a new angle on it. Find things that you enjoy, like going out with friends, and start doing that again.

Again, Covid came like a reset button, it made our lives fall apart.

Why rebuild it in a similar fashion as before, when you have a new opportunity to find better ideas of how to build it up

Don’t think of change as a bad thing, it changes your perspectives, and in return, gives you a blank slate

I don't know. Since covid I really have no idea what I want to do. I was going to retire but I just got bored. I had an uncle that took some kind of test to see what his interests were. It turned out he was not interested in anything. I hope that I am not like that

I don't enjoy it I just tolerate it
