It depends. Is it a good situation? If I’m content, then I probably wouldn’t do anything about it. If not, it’s up to me to make a move… find a hobby, volunteer, make a new friend, read an interesting book, take a class, do something.

I will soldier on, like I always do, and know that eventually things will come around. Too much new can be as stressful as too much the same can be boring and demoralizing. There is an ebb and flow to life. You kind of have to go with the flow sometimes.

Make something new.

otherwise, life would be boring

@augustlan @lillycoyote You can live your life freely with happiness,joy, ecstasy only if you get the most wanted things.If everyday you go to place like office & do same work then it will be very boring.Feels like you have lost in that.

You have to do something different. Add an activity or hobby. Take a class. You’ve heard the saying “as long as you do what you do you get what you get.”

When I felt like I was stagnating, at a memorable point in my life about 12 years ago, I did four things:

1. I joined an organization pertaining to an interest I had. I’m not a joiner by nature, but I forced myself to do this and go to meetings, attend potlucks, and volunteer for things. I made myself talk to people.

2. I signed up for a class.

3. I planted new shrubs and flowers all around my house.

4. I changed the dominant color of my wardrobe. Significantly, I had—unintentionally and even unconsciously—gravitated to a wardrobe that was nearly all black and often black on black on black. I brought color back into my life.

I would do nothing different. Stagnation occurs occasionally in even the busiest of rivers. Use it as a chance to let dust settle. Clean out the kitchen drawer or your closet. . It is only a matter of time before the waters flow again.
Relax while you can. There are always rapids right around the corner.

@blinkErri “You can live your life freely with happiness,joy, ecstasy only if you get the most wanted things?” I disagree. Living you life “freely with happiness, joy, ecstasy? It part what you get and part what you make of it.” If you live long enough, and this is only my opinion, you will come to learn that life is about both getting what you want and learning to want what you get. You don’t have enough control over what happens to you, what you get in life, in terms of your circumstances to allow your happiness, joy and ecstasy to depend totally on getting “your most wanted things.”
Acknowledging this is not losing anything. It is, if anything, gaining something, gaining something that allows you to carry on when there is limited happiness, joy and ecstasy in your life, which unless you are unusually lucky, will be a state you will find yourself in at some point in your life. I hate to get all middle aged on you, but exactly how old are you @blinkErri?

lillycoyote's avatar

@talljasperman LOL. Personally, I think that’s a fine solution. Carry on! :-)

lillycoyote's avatar

@blinkErri And perhaps you are lost in the idea that “you can live your life freely with happiness,joy, ecstasy only if you get the most wanted things.”

MAKE something new happen in my life, IF that is what I want. At my age, after all I’ve been through, I NEED some nice, comfortable and boring! : D

It depends if I am content with the situation as it stands, or not. Sometimes a period of “stagnation” can be a welcome respite from too much change. A chance to rest and an opportunity to make my plans and gather my resources for the next period of change.

There is nothing wrong with monotony per se. However, there is always this feeling that you might be missing out on something better, something more. If this is the case, then you should go ahead and make some changes. However, if your monotonous feeling is a feeling of satisfaction or if you feel content then don’t change it, because that is the feeling millions crave to achieve but can’t.

We spend a good portion of our lives at work. If you are getting no satisfaction from it then maybe you should consider changing jobs or careers. What about your life outside work? Do you have a family or outside interests?

I’ve hit heavy drought season for the last 12–14 years, what can I do? Wish I could but I can’t!

Frenchfry's avatar

It’s up to you to put the spice into to it. Plan a vacation…. That’s what I would do.

@jonsblond, you took those three words right out of my mouth (or keyboard). Sitting around waiting for something “new” to happen usually results in sitting around for a very long time.

stardust's avatar

If you want something new and fresh in your life, then make it happen. Spend time doing things that bring you true joy. It doesn’t have to be new all of the time. Sometimes I feel true joy sitting in my kitchen drinking a cup of tea. Basically, I think it’s an inward job.
If you’re into the great outdoors, get involved in a club or society. Just do it :)

take a hike, see what happens.

Change your thinking and you will change your life!

Learn to see with ‘new eyes’ and know that nothing will remain static.

If you are feeling stuck in a rut take action based on thinking differently!

First you must try on some new thinking and then take action!

Visualize what you want, let go of the outcome and start acting as if you already have what you want!

I’d make myself a robot and do the same things for me since it’s happening the same everyday.
