Maybe some kind of project?
My next one is to figure out how to build a theremin.
Yeah, it's a bit off the beaten path, but it's kind of neat too, and I have to learn how to do a bunch of stuff in order to get the desired finished product.
[then I also have to learn how to play it ha]
Though, since I'm doing it for me, it's something I can do in my own time.
When things get boring I just do weird stuff to mix it up...
Like build a
.
In the past I have started a "Save the Bananas" Campaign, written several episodes of a never-to-be-broadcast youtube series that was to star paper dolls- of a boy from Holland in denial of his celiac disease and his overbearing mother, started various blogs, explored how to cook delicious things that the rest of my family will actually eat containing no soy, dairy, gluten or eggs [I totally was successful!... after a while].
When in doubt, I get a new piercing and dye my hair and by that time I've come up with something.
I mean, yes you are in a position where you can't work, but maybe you could find something that really sparks your interest and explore it completely on your timeline, at your pace?
Just an idea. When I get to the "What if this is as good as it gets" place I tend to do strange things but usually it at least produces a couple unique stories.
Ultimately you want to do whatever you do by your own desire though, I would think, yeah? A meaningful life is what is meaningful to you.
Some people never get that feeling, though, even if they do pretty much the exact same thing, day-in, day-out for their entire life.
I would say it's something to listen to if you can?
