I don’t have anything to look forward to in life except money entering my direct deposit every two weeks and back catalogs of podcasts. I don’t even want to listen to music anymore.
How about making plans for something to look forward to. Like a hike or a camping trip. Or pick up some active hobby, like swimming or disc golf or archery. Could make some buddies with mutual interests if you find something you like to do regularly.
This this this, you gotta give yourself things to look forward to.
It doesn’t even have to be anything big or all that interesting either, packing a lunch and going to some touristy thing nearby can do wonders for the soul, even if whatever you go and see kinda sucks! Heck, just walking down a path youve never used or a route you’ve never taken helps too. Seeing where you live in a new light can be way fun.
My dumbest tip for keeping things whimsical is to have little treats with you and maybe even hide them some place you’ll forget so that its doubly fun when you discover them again! It’s lovely when I clean my car out and find that cookie I hid a couple months ago just so I could run into it like this.
