| You have a wonderful life ahead of you. 43 is nothing and you can have all the things you long for. So I've ripped what people in the thread has written and compiled for you, like an action list. Hope it helps. - CONTACT A THERAPIST to find out if you have a depression or some other mental illness. Illnesses are things you can get help to deal with. - MEDITATION! Preferably do it in the morning but works any time of the day (when it fits your day)

Your problem is your framing of where you are in life. Visualize building your ideal life and repeat the visualization every day. I googled "visualizing a better life" and got these, you can probably do better https://www.happierhuman.com/visualization-techniques/ https://jamesnussbaumer.com/visualize-a-better-life/ https://taminglife.com/improve-life-goal-visualization/ - BROWSE THROUGH THESE MOTIVATIONAL IMAGES at breakfast and before bed, take notice when something applies to your life. Repetition is key, do this every day (and if you miss a day it's no biggie, just do it again) https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1yTrJkmUUFAzlhuQ5ZzyG... - AVOID NEWS if you can, it feeds your mind with fear, angst and anxiety - JOIN A SOCIAL GROUP (music, art, volunteering, courses, church, craft...) - YOUR LOOKS CAN HELP YOU - change your haircut and clothes to imitate your image of a happy and successful person - VISUALIZE THE HOME YOU'D LIKE TO LIVE IN, repeat regularly. |
