Do you enjoy life ? Right now?

[Admirer]

What's happening in your life? Do you enjoy it and are you having a good time?

I suppose the answer could depend on how your days been... As for me, i'm having a bad time lately.

Heres my routine:

Wake up, attend sixth form 9AM-3PM to study for A levels and upcoming exams (Over next few weeks), get home and have an hour to myself (3-4.30), go to work.. 4.30-10PM, get home and sleep. Repeat. I'm not enjoying myself if i'm honest. Works boring, repetitive... Exams are stressful.

How am I pulling myself to do it?

Goals, things to look forward to. I am saving up for 2 upcoming 'lads holidays' which is something major to look forward to. Will it be worth it? Hell yeah.


The point of this is, organise things. Get out there and give yourself a reason to do things that may be boring, and that may not be the most motivational things in the world. HAVE AN OUTCOME, SOMETHING TO BUILD TOWARDS.

I'm studying A levels to go on to university. I need 'X' amount of grades to get there. So what do I do? Study hard to get those grades... I'm going on 2 lads holidays, i'm at sixth form full time..Sitting on my ass feeling sorry for myself won't help, so i'm working, and motivated by the holidays.

Anyone agree this is the right way to go? Post below your opinions and what you're doing. Do you enjoy life? If not, maybe you can do what i'm doing!

It can all be stressful but keeping yourself motivated to succeed is great, keep focusing on what's important now mate. Life is pretty good right now, the long weekend is coming up and I'm going on a camping trip with a group of my friends. I just finished my first year of college, and start working next week. My average day right now consists of waking up, eating, walking my dog because it's been gorgeous here lately, playing league, Sythin it up, hitting up the skatepark, and going out drinking with my friends at night.

It's all pretty good right now but with work next week it's going to cut down my relaxing time

Not really.

Its just a grind to the next step.

Do you have goals ? If not, make them. Make plans, organise things, get involved. Have something to look forward to aside from the everyday things you class as 'not really'.

 

[Ricola]

goals are hard to reach, hence the term goals, my routine is wake up whenever i do, then go to work, it was, wake up and work, then go to school on weekends, im upset because i failed out of my emt class but that shits hard, but im gonna go back and finish it once i get more training from volunteer work but idk im half content right now, everythings going fine, i just wish i had a bit more going for myself right now but its not so bad when i think about it

I am pretty happy with myself at the moment. I am 21 years old, it's now 1 year and 5 months ago I started my own business (during final year of college and my exams). Since then I've now grown to love online marketing, and have worked my way up to become a Facebook partner and one of the best in the field in the country. Currently I do not have the business I started with, but I have an advertising agency with my best friend, as it is marketing and creating amazing results which drives me, we're the new guys on the block, the company is only 3 months old and we're about to hire our first employee on full-time. I've worked pretty much without sleep the last 1 year and 5 months, but now I am starting to see the fruits of the hard work - I have more money than I could ever spend, so I support my family financially who've had a hard time for the past years, that is what is most important to me.

My daily routine is: Wake up at 6-7AM, go to our office at 8-9AM, work until 4 - 6PM and go home, eat and continue work/attend networking events to broaden my network and to get new clients. Eat, sleep, close clients and repeat.

I've studied hard before, I graduated with very respectable grades, but it wasn't for me - I know the stress, but hang in there guys, but also remember there is more things to life than the things you learn in school. Find something you're good at and study it, networking is key - it can help you find the right job and can create great opportunities.

Good to know. Good luck with your business and I agree with everything in the final paragraph.

Good reply

Last week of classes in my final year of college, exams finish in ten days. Busy, stressed, but definitely enjoying myself overall.

Key to being happy is finding things that make you happy in places where you least expect it. If that makes sense.

Happiness is based on the way you perceive things. Change your perception of things and you might see the change you're looking for..

I myself am pretty happy right now without my life. I wake up 6 am everyday and come home or go to to city to chill or play ball because there is a big basketball court there. Forgot the name but I remember meeting Amare Stoudemire there and it was crazy! Im lovin life the way it is and Im also keeping up with my grades as well.

I busted ass last year and made enough that I don't needa work for a while so I'm trying to gain new skills and relax my brain from the stress of the grind. So life is good right now. Launching a new business soon. Excited for my future. Playing a few relaxing games in the meantime.

 

[addseo1118]

My daily life totally same as you, but I am happy everyday because I have a dream. I step to my dream fervently.

I agree, good reply.

I suffer from severe depression and anxiety. I have good and bad days, and on the bad days I compromise between getting very stoned and doing nothing all day, as weed tends to anaesthetise things like panic attacks and dark thoughts in my case. I used to drink a lot before I realised that the alcohol was actually exacerbating my condition; not so with weed.

In general, I'm not a very happy person I guess, but the problem with mental illnesses is it's not terribly easy to fix. Simple things like setting goals is never really enough to achieve motivation, so often the thing that keeps me moving is a simple hope that I'll get better with time.

I understand depression is huge, but as I don't suffer from it ( I don't think ), I just feel like everyone is depressed every so often, but obviously don't understand what it's like to suffer from depression. All I can say is be hopeful, and go out and try new things. Do you have a girlfriend? Try get one. Do you work out? Try it... Things like this could help. Achieving things in life is a real motivator alone, try achieve something you'd never have previously though you may have achieved. It could help.

Well, this year was supposed to top my last year due to me repeating in school. I instead start the year excellently by getting well beyond the grades i expected. For once, I was making my parents proud of me and actually started feeling good about myself. But then after my mid term examinations i failed. I failed them all, i studied 4-6 hours a day and still failed. After this my life turned. I was no longer motivated to study or do the classwork or complete the homework. I also starting to regain my addiction of weed and my life is turning.

So to answer this question, no. I am not enjoying life at the moment but it will get better. I just need to make it better.

That's right mate. The only person who can change it is you. Good attitude and quit the weed!

Lately I've been doing minor changes in my life, and it has surprisingly made my life more enjoyable. Within the last month or two: Completely redid my bedroom for the first time in five years, finally got around to painting the stairs up to my deck, started golfing more, started working more, got out of a relationship, started jogging more, been switching up my wardrobe, been using the internet less, about to list my car for sale and going to finally by a truck, and just been living more organized in general. just all little shit that makes my life easier and I feel more accomplished.
