Ok I've been through this a few times and here are my few tips:
- listen to completely new music (I usually ask people for their favs) and if you dont enjoy it, then try and analyse it and figure out why it might be their fav
- alternatively, i like to back to like 2016/2015 bangers
- go outside 😭 always hate this tip because it's so simple but it really does help. Go for a walk or sit in the sun somewhere or just sit on the grass or on a pavement.
- call someone and just ask about their day and chat, it gets you out of your head and hearing something new and doing something different (this is the key: do something different.)
- try and spend a day away from the phone. Again hate this tip but honestly spending so much time on the phone makes time fly and makes me pay less attention and process less so everything just feels monotonous. Without the phone, you have more time to process more and have new thoughts which will make the day feel more novel and interesting
- sing - singing helps me so so much. It makes me feel the music so I feel more, and it controls your breathing which calms you and resets you a little
- read a new book and get immersed in that story. Again, we're looking to create more novelty
- Make sure to keep taking care of yourself and dressing as you like and doing your hair and stay put together. If you start dressing the same everyday or stop caring for yourself as much, it again makes every day feel the same because getting ready just happens on autopilot. We want to avoid autopilot
These tips all sound so superficial and when everything feels monotonous and boring, these tips seem so redundant because they're so simple for something that feels so heavy, but it's better than doing nothing so I always try to go back to them when things get plain!!
