It happens that life loses its colors, becomes insipid and dull. In trying to get things done, we forget that we are alive. And we fail to achieve the main thing - to enjoy life. I would like to remind you that life itself is pleasure. It's a pity that we often stop remembering this. Troubles at work, conflicts, and everyday troubles deprive people of joy. The reason that life is boring and gray often lies in the fact that people themselves unconsciously forbid themselves to enjoy life. How do you understand that there is a ban on enjoying life? 1. There are no desires. I don't want anything. And if you want, then not for long. 2. No energy. 3. Internal dialogues with yourself, in which you criticize yourself.3. There are many restrictions in life. You cannot afford much due to your status, age, position, etc. 4. There is a tendency towards self-sacrifice. If you have discovered at least one of the listed symptoms, this is a reason to think about whether your life corresponds to what you want it to be? To begin with, you can try to independently introduce the habit of rejoicing into your life. For this there is several ways.1. Game “But” The essence of the game is to find joy in every moment, no matter what happens. For example, the boss yelled at work, BUT there is work, and you don’t have to sit without money. Rain outside that ruined your plans? THEN there is time to read your favorite book, watch new films. The computer broke down, but it freed up time for myself or for a walk with loved ones. Try to answer every unpleasant turn of life during the day: “BUT...”. You will notice changes for the better begin to occur. 2. Small pleasures. Everyday routine tires and drags on. Over time, people stop seeing the beauty around them, stop smiling, and forget about themselves. To prevent this from happening, you need to come up with something to please yourself every day. This is not always measured in money. You can dress beautifully just like that, for no reason. Allow yourself to add to your to-do list not what you need, but what you want. Take a longer walk along the street, sit on a bench in the park, looking at passers-by. Throw away something unnecessary. Cook something delicious and invite friends over for dinner. Do something that you’ve been putting off for a long time or just do nothing for a couple of hours and don’t blame yourself for it. Try to set aside time every day to please yourself with something. Your mood will begin to improve rapidly.3. Contract with fears We constantly face fears. Fear deprives you of pleasure. For example, you want to go to a concert with your favorite performer, but you’re scared to go alone. Or you want to start your own blog, but you’re afraid of what people will say. This is how a person deprives himself of pleasure. If you want to do something, you should try to come to terms with your fears. There can be a lot of pleasure hidden behind them. There are many more ways to make life brighter and more interesting. You can come up with them for yourself. Living with pleasure is a choice. If your state of apathy and despondency persists for a long time, then you should seek help from a psychologist. During consultations you will be able to identify the causes of this condition and eliminate them..
