Being open-minded and willing to try new things (legal, of course) can change your mindset. While doing so, you may find a new hoppy or overall interest that may consume your mind, bringing you pleasure and a sense of contentment.
THIS IS SO IMPORTANT.
In some cases, while being in a relationship, you may find that they are the ones always there for you. They may be your source of happiness, entertainment, and comfort. What are you supposed to do now that they are gone? The good news is, you can do about anything you want. You make your own decisions and there is no longer a second opinion that may be turning your ideas down. Enjoy yourself, go sky-diving if you're really that crazy; otherwise, go read a book you've been wanting to read or learn how to play a new instrument.
Find other sources of happiness that do not come from human beings. Learning how to be independent and enjoying yourself will benefit you later in relationships. You won't put such a heavy load on your significant other's shoulders, which may cause less arguments in the future. You will just be happier with yourself, and as you all know, you won't be happy with someone else if you're not happy with yourself.
So, do something crazy or new to get your mind off of all of the struggles you may be going through. Sometimes you just have to say YOLO and go for it!
I find it hard to really not do things for or with other people. I think the human mind is wired to be social in some suite. I know your not telling anyone to be anti social but I feel like sometimes there is no point in doing things if they are not for other people. Is that weird?

ReplyDeleteI love this! You can't love someone else if you don't love yourself first!
ReplyDeleteWhile I agree with Stephanie's statement that you cannot love someone without first loving yourself, I too have experienced what Natalie is talking about. I often want to things with or for people. I love serving others and I love company. When I lived in the residence halls I would often ask all of my friends if they wanted to go eat and if they didn't I'd eat in my room. While we shouldn't depend on one person to make us happy I can see where having people around will help as well. On the other hand, I am a strong supporter of trying new things after relationships end. This helps the person grow and heal while finding solace in a new hobby..
ReplyDeleteYou really are living life when you do things that are outside of your normal routine. It can bring a sense of freedom and motivation to try new things. If you do something and decided it was not necessarily for you then at least try it. After all, You Only Live Once.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE trying new things and switching things up. I was reading a book about doing the same routines everyday and how it can cause your mood to sink because nothing ever changes. It is so easy to discover new things, you just do it! I love the line " Sometimes you just have to say YOLO and go for it!"
