struggling with romanticising my past and accepting my present reality


Posts: 1920

any advice ?  and especially because my physical health is not doing so well in the present,  and also I have no idea what the future holds for me because right now I can see myself living where I am living and continuing researching positive psychology and existential and philosophical stuff while my physical health possibly declines even more like forever  (worst case scenario)

unless I find a new passion which would most likely be a significant other to go on adventures with  (because I have zero and I mean absolutely zero desire to travel or barely even leave where I am living unless there is someone else with me but I have been forcing myself to out of necessity)-  I do not anticipate much changing for me but life is not always that predictable

any advice? 

The advice no one wants to hear: Everything takes time. 

My father's advice for acquiring new habits was to make a point of doing the same thing in the same way every day for around 21 days, or three weeks. A lot of what seems more jarring or unnatural will smooth out over that time, and attempting to stop doing it will feel more blatant on your mind rather than how before forgetting to do it was more of an oversight. 

The journey of 1000 miles begins with one step, day one is not a bad day, but rather one of many. 

and especially because my physical health is not doing so well in the present,  and also I have no idea what the future holds for me because right now I can see myself living where I am living and continuing researching positive psychology and existential and philosophical stuff while my physical health possibly declines even more like forever  (worst case scenario)

What's up with your physical health right now, more eczema?

I think that I had an addiction with wanting things to.stay the same as they did in the past because of being scared that the future is going to be worse than the past was  but I cannot genuinely keep things the way that they were in the past it is just impossible I am evolving and so is everyone around me
