Improving your life

[Frijjystrawberry]

Am having a bit of a midlife crisis.

I am married, work full time from home (which is much better for me than office), no kids, one dog and I have been feeling a bit lost.

No kids, not for me.

Husband is very content, we live in a lovely place (rent) I used to be very sociable but as years have gone on I do less and less socially and I feel I have become completely introverted. But I quite like that! I travel solo at lot which is lovely and also with my husband but I'm thinking more day to day how to enrich my life. I just don't seem to do much apart from work sleep walk the dog and watch TV most days. I just don't seem to have the motivation to pick up any hobbies. I do suffer with anxiety which doesn't help and can tend to lock myself away a bit sometimes with that.

I just want my life to feel fuller, but don't want to force it if that makes sense?

If you like travelling, how about making your weekends more interesting rather than pressurising yourself to have more exciting week days?
Book some days and weekends away.

Do you enjoy courses? Sign yourself up for an online one and do a few hrs a week.
There are so many to choose from and many are free or low cost.

Choose a something you'd like to know more about and read a book on it.

Volunteer somewhere locally or for a befriending service.

Maybe start tiny, like trying a new recipe or going to a different pub. Make something- like a handmade card or knit a scarf. Try podcasts and audiobooks. Join a running club. Even a fairly passive project like watching a series of classic films can be fun. I’ve picked up sewing and baking again quite recently and am working my way through some large books! Give yourself a fun focus for your free time, but don’t feel, you have to commit, just experiment.

I became a bit like this in peri, I didn’t know if it was peri or post covid.

How's your diet?
