What do you do to make your everyday life fulfilled? Do you have any habit that you think contributes to your good day?
Every day there comes a moment when I just want to quit. If, in that moment, I push a little further, just keep forcing myself forward, then that evening I feel fulfilled.
Cycling, mountain biking. Nature and me and myself. Everything else is just to support this habit.
Yeah bikepacking for holidays and hiking bivying cycling stuff like that regularly. Just makes life worth living
Cheese.
What kind(s) of cheese?
Yes.
Connection.
Connection with lovers, friends, family, other people, pets, the world.
We are all wired to connect with others.
The most valuable connections tend to be family, friends and lovers.
It is what gives our lives meaning, in the end.
Come close to, or sit on death’s doorway, and it becomes as clear as day what gave your life meaning.
If you don’t have this, you become acutely aware of its true value.
Music, singing, dancing, drawing, programming, playing, exercising, just…creating. Creating shit for the sake of it, for other people, for myself. That’s life, that’s living.
People scoff at this, but I managed to get myself a job I find very fulfilling. My work contributes positively to society. I feel useful and needed. I was missing that up until recently.
Working out, watching TV, playing ball hockey and looking at nature.
Helping people with technology. I work IT. I was in a software development role (QA) that impacted far more people, but I didn’t interact with them. It was soul-sucking work. Working with people directly and seeing the results of my labor is nourishing.
Seeing stuff i am either building or fixing working after the full on weeks it took to iron out all of the problems; and coming back later in the years to find them still working; last week i went to one of my frends workshop to find the metal press i fixed 5 years ago still working and with the same locking lugs i had to kludge on it to get the control panel to close
Gardening and forest gardening! Planting something starts another living organism and with good planning there may be no maintenance required on your part. You’ll just have this happy little tree/shrub/herb/vine growing its own way
Interesting, I’ve never tried that before.
I’d suggest anyone intrigued read Gaia’s Garden by Toby Hemenway and look into permaculture!
Starting your own forest garden is fantastic but please don’t alter any existing forests without learning about the existing eco system and which native plants would best fit into it
Stomach full, balls empty, and peaceful surroundings
Throw in a blunt and a beer and that’s my dream vacation!
I don’t do blunts anymore, but I’ll happily take the beer and a wedge of blue cheese instead.
what made you drop it?
