closely pay attention to your habits.
first of all discover your habits. you can live your life on autopilot but you can also be mindful of everything you are doing. when you are mindful, you will soon know how you spend your time so good, that you can't help but want to manage it. the biggest obstacle in this is your desire not to be here, i suspect most people are in opposition to their own existence, which kind of makes mindfulness impossible because you are too busy being in resistance.
then question your habits. what is the actual result each habit has on your life. soon you will find your best and worst habits. replace your worst habits with better habits because once you are mindful of them, you know how to improve upon them.
then wonder which habits you don't have but should have. i don't believe most people don't know what is good for them, they simply don't do it but in theory they know.
here are some things that make your life better in case you don't know:
>exerciseworking out is not just beneficial, it is essential. every bit of exercise pumps the lymph but once per week you should exhaust yourself to the point where you sweat. running, swimming, biking, throwing punches and kicks in the air,…
>creativityif you don't create stuff, your brain will wonder why it even exists. don't just consume, build stuff yourself, you will love the things you make. i build functional furniture from very basic elements. building stuff, tool use, crafting,…
>artistic self-expressionsounds similar to creativity but isn't. habit of manifesting pleasant ideas.
>physical self-expressionlike dance or skating. this is one important gateway into feeling your best. if you don't do it for a while and then do it again, you can feel how important it is.
>time managementbuild a system so you don't waste your time on the unimportant things and neglect the things you care about.
>happinessthe more you find out that you can just make yourself happy whenever you choose, the less you are likely to let yourself to be seduced by consumer idiocy like alcohol. i found this by experimenting with meditation. and then just taking the time to do it and not forgetting about it. i doubt many people know how to be happy and of those few who know, even fewer take the time to do it.
