Meditate if you feel empty. If you feel lukewarm or indifferent to life’s exciting moments and disappointments, you may be experiencing a lack of passion.
Maybe you’re tired in your rat race. Maybe you’re jaded.
What can you do to renew your zest in life?
You can pray and meditate to increase your capacity to feel. You’re searching for something to fill the void – that perfect friend/ hobby/ anything. One way is to stop looking for that perfect thing and accept life as it is. Then you’ll find yourself feeling more peaceful than ever.
Another method is to consult somebody who is mature enough to act as your spiritual guide. These people are able to understand and discern what your problem is, and guide you towards resolution.
Its normal to sometimes feel empty. It creates a desire to feel the opposite. How do you sate your heart? You can give love to your family and close ones. Unless they are very self-centered, they’re likely to reciprocate and return some love. Then, you can revel in the sweetness of love.
No one’s journey is full of highs, or filled with lows. There will be ups and downs. Neither is a journey static and at equilibrium, even though it seems to be such. The fact is that every high or low will return to equilibrium. Usually, a person’s neutral state is at equilibrium. However, there are people whose disposition is negative so when they are at equilibrium, they sink to a low. Their equilibrium state is sad.
The opposite is also true. For those whose equilibrium is positive; meaning they are happy at their static state, when they are at an equilibrium state, they show a happy mood.
Your belief in your faith will help you. Trust that things will work out. You may not obtain exactly what you want, but your heart and mind will be open to see alternatives, which may work out for you. Look, listen, learn.
The second you are awake and conscious, stimulants will hit you. You may become distracted and overwhelmed by the number of stimulants. What can you do to manage this flood of stimulants? You can slow down, take stock, meditate and think over which are the important ones. As time, effort and other resources are limited, you can only attend to a few stimulants. You may try to put other non-urgent stimulants in your To Do List.
Do you feel bored with your routines? Whether you work or stay at home, you can change your routines and introduce fresh insights. If you travel to work or to your errands, you can change your travel route or mode of travel. If you use public transport, you can try listening to music or reading a book during your commode. If you prefer to look around, take in the scenery and make it a point to be inspired. Everything can be wonderful if you can see the positive aspect of it.
Many people read nonfiction books for inspiration. You can try visiting your nearest library to browse for Self-Improvement books or Hobby books.
Count your blessings. Appreciate all your luck and good fortune for big and small instances. You are not empty. You are filled with goodness and you only need positivity to be aware of your blessings.
Look at all the plants and animals around you. They have life and live, with God’s blessings.
You are more complicated than the living things lower in the food cycle. If the simpler forms of life are thriving, there is plenty more you can expect from the God who loves you as much as his Son Jesus.
You can try to experience joy through others, by reaching out to them. Spend time talking to the old, the lonely, the sickly and the troubled. Share some of your food with the hungry. Their smiles, and gratitude will bless you.
Spend some time taking care of yourself. You are valued.
