I feel like my life is so boring. I obviously have a lot of interests and hobbies, but I can't do any of them?

Hello, my dear landlord! I read your description and I see so many wonderful things about you. You have so many bright spots! Why not focus on those and make your life really meaningful?

Just remember, you're doing great! Keep doing what you think is right, and you'll get through this.

The wonderful thing about life is that as long as we persevere and work hard, we'll see some amazing things! No matter how beautiful your yesterday was, don't linger on it, just keep going. There might even be more beautiful scenery waiting for us ahead!

As we keep walking in the rain and wind, our horizons will become wider and wider, and our knowledge will grow accordingly. Along the way, no matter who we meet, it is all part of fate; no matter what happens, it is all a good thing that will make us grow. No matter how many difficulties we encounter, they will all be like sharpening stones for us...

So, even if the road ahead is a bit challenging, it's still important to live your best life and embrace the journey. The ending will definitely be a lovely surprise!

It's totally normal to feel intimidated by difficulties. Success is often just a step away! If you just grit your teeth and hang in there for a while, you'll succeed. But many people just give up when they need to persevere.

In life, many things are like this. If you persist and take one more step forward at the most difficult time, the dilemma may be resolved. If you back down or stop, then you are doomed to fail. So don't give up halfway through! You're only one step away from success.

Failure and success are just a step away. Of course, before taking this step, you may face a difficult choice: to move forward or to stop. But don't worry! For a successful person, all they have to do is persevere, persevere, and persevere.

If you can overcome this hurdle, you may become a leader in life. If you miss it, you may achieve nothing. But don't worry! If you grit your teeth in the face of setbacks, you can absolutely overcome this ordeal.

When you're feeling a little unsure or confused, it's important to remind yourself to seize opportunities and persevere. This is the best way to reach the other side of success!

Success is something we all dream of. It's so sad when people have experienced failure and never got to enjoy the joy of success. It's because they just couldn't persevere to the end. They found it hard to bear and were haunted by loneliness at night, afraid of losing hope in the most difficult times.

So, they just need to learn from successful people how to get up again when they fall.

So, stick to what you like doing, and your life will shine! It's true that in the process of perseverance, you will experience setbacks and hardships. But, as long as you maintain an unwavering spirit and believe in the power of time, all suffering will pass, and the sun will rise in the east as usual!

Don't give up, even if things get tough. And don't stop, even if you face some setbacks. Just keep going, and you'll see that the road ahead is full of light.

Hello, classmate. I see myself in your description. I'm good at pretending, but I'll work on my strengths and weaknesses so that everyone sees a unified side of me. It's best to be honest, open, confident, and generous.

If you feel a sense of togetherness, a desire to chat, or happiness in your regular life, you're deceiving yourself. Even if you know it, don't break it.

They may think they know me, but they don't. My classmates have two sides to their lives: one is getting along, and the other is being alone. We can accept this and try to change ourselves.

We can interact with ourselves, laugh, and be our own friends. We've always been our own friends. Others might ignore your feelings, but your brain won't. You're still rational.

Your heart knows everything. It will always be with you. It cares about your feelings more than anyone else. When you are unhappy, it shows no expression; when you are sad, it cries. These are all ways of showing that it knows and cares about your feelings. Your thoughts arise and need to be thought about by the brain, and then the heart observes your feelings at that moment. If you are dissatisfied, it will vent its temper to protect you. But you also need to comfort it, calm it down, show that you are okay, and then try your best to face your life.

Targeted question:

Why do you touch the pen?

Classmate, when you write with a pen, your emotions show in your characters. What are you thinking about?

Classmate, what mood do you approach writing in? What meaning do you give it?

Classmate, let go. It's not your obsession. You can open a new world by living differently. There's always something worth waiting for.

Waiting lasts.

Hello.

You feel powerless and meaningless. You have many interests and hobbies, but you're unsure about your relationship status. You say you go to work, come home, play with your phone, and go to bed every day. Are you currently living alone?

I recently read an article by Mr. Zeng Qifeng that I found particularly inspiring. Titled "16 Ways a Person Limits Themselves," it delves into the various ways we restrict ourselves, with depression being one such example. The article makes a clear distinction between grief, which it defines as a temporary self-limitation, and depression, which it categorizes as a form of self-limitation.

Depression is a diffuse sense of low self-worth, which creates a limitation through self-attack. In a cultural context like ours, which is not divided, there is likely an element of performance in all symptoms, such as filial piety.

Manic behavior is superficial and childish, while depression is mature and profound.

You feel that nothing you do is worthwhile or meaningful. I am certain that the current problems you are experiencing stem from a deep sense of low self-worth. I strongly suggest that you establish a relationship as soon as possible. Psychological counseling is undoubtedly the best way to go. A sustained and stable counseling relationship is the most powerful support for transformation. I have three pieces of advice for you:

1. Heal the wounds.

Heal yourself and your family's trauma. Transform the limitations of your relationships with others.

2. Find strength.

Stay open and connected. Experience a steady and warm embrace. Unblock stuck energy channels. Regain long-lost strength.

3. Feel the sense of relaxation brought on by self-control and live out your regenerative power.

Focus on yourself. Return to the neutral. Maintain the integration of body and mind. Face difficult times fearlessly. Complete self-awakening and transformation.

I am a psychological counselor, Zhang Huili. I am confident that my answer will be helpful to you. If you find it useful, please click like and leave a comment.

Hello, I'd like to offer you a 360-degree hug.

After reading your question, I believe the best course of action would be to seek professional help from a counselor or a doctor.

Next, we will discuss some additional options. Let's avoid delving into the reasons behind your sense of boredom and the difficulty you face in pursuing your hobbies. This is a complex issue and requires more detailed information to fully address it.

Perhaps we could discuss some potential steps you could take in this situation?

If I may make a suggestion, I believe that exercise could be beneficial for you.

It is thought that exercise can transform our brains and improve our physical and mental states. For example, it may help to relieve stress, improve concentration, and enhance learning ability. It is also believed that exercise can improve our emotional states, and that the dopamine produced by exercise may contribute to feelings of happiness.

You might consider trying some more relaxed exercises, such as yoga, jogging, or walking. You could even try a more confrontational sport like boxing.

You might consider making a plan, for example, how long you will exercise for a day, without focusing on the results, but rather on the time.

Secondly, it may be helpful to set some goals for yourself. Try to focus on the goal itself, rather than worrying about the outcome.

I refer to this as the "monk chanting scriptures" method, which is an approach that can be easily adopted when one is short on time or motivation. It involves setting specific tasks, such as writing headlines, and planning to complete a few each day. Once the task is done, it is advisable to refrain from dwelling on the number of views or performance data. Instead, it can be viewed as a monk striking a bell: simply do it and move on.

It is worth noting that this goal should be quantifiable, for example, writing a micro-blog post and reading 30 pages of a book. This should remain consistent regardless of who is supervising it. However, it can be challenging to evaluate whether you have written a micro-blog post or read a book.

If I might make one more suggestion, it would be to make a plan for your life.

It would be beneficial to schedule the rest of your time after work. Please note that these plans focus on completion, rather than the quality or effectiveness of the completion.

For example, some activities that could be beneficial include exercise, reading, writing, cooking, watching dramas, and finding someone to chat with.

It might be helpful to consider ways of getting your life back on track and getting yourself moving again. You may wish to add to the plan little by little, depending on your situation.

As an example, in the first week, only exercise is added, while all other activities remain the same.

I must admit that I am unsure as to the effectiveness of this approach. However, I believe that the most important thing is to just get moving.

It might also be helpful to speak with a counselor or psychiatrist at the hospital.

As a counselor, I find myself oscillating between pessimism and optimism. I believe in the world and in you.

Hello, I hope my answer is helpful to you.

From what the host said, it seems like they're actually pretty capable and can make money from their hobbies. But after a while, they'll probably feel depressed and lose interest in making money from these hobbies. When you get into such a cycle, you'll likely have a low opinion of yourself and even think that you're worthless and powerless, that you have no hope for the future, and feel self-blame and guilt. What psychological factors caused this?

What keeps you going? I believe it's possible to reach a point where you're no longer excited about your job or project. This is normal. Without that initial passion and curiosity, you're left with repetitive tasks and income that doesn't change much. You'll gradually become less satisfied with yourself, and your behavior will become sluggish and evasive.

So, to keep us motivated and enthusiastic about things and our hobbies, here are a few ideas for you to think about:

First, we need to recognize the value and importance of doing these things ourselves. We need to understand our original intentions, why we wanted to do this in the first place, and rekindle the inner enthusiasm and motivation.

Affirming the value and meaning of what we do is also about boosting our sense of self-efficacy. We need to give ourselves positive mental prompts all the time: what I'm doing is worthwhile, I'm lucky to be able to do these things and help people in need, I enjoy doing these things, and my efforts will definitely make a difference.

Affirming the value and meaning of what we do is also about boosting our sense of self-efficacy. We need to give ourselves positive mental suggestions all the time: what I'm doing is worthwhile, I'm lucky to be able to do these things and help people in need, I enjoy doing these things, my efforts will definitely be effective, I'm responsible, I'll reap the rewards...

When we can affirm the value and meaning of what we do, we're more motivated to keep going and we're better at doing so. And I actually believe that what you do is meaningful and valuable.

It can also bring in money, improve your quality of life, and show that you have the right skills for the job. And if someone is willing to pay you, it means that what you're doing is valuable to them.

On top of that, sometimes we get so caught up in what we're doing that we forget why we loved and enjoyed it in the first place. I know I did when I was stuck in a rut answering questions. I kept asking myself, "What's the point of making so little money by answering questions and spending so much time on them every day?" If I kept dwelling on this, it would be hard for me to continue answering questions.

But then I thought about my original goal: using what I've learned to help people in need. Answering questions is a way for me to directly help others with the knowledge I've gained. Plus, I also get a lot of thanks and feedback from the question askers, which makes me feel more connected to the meaning and value of answering questions. So, I've kept going every day without a single interruption. I rely on "not forgetting the original intention" and affirming the value and meaning of answering questions.

2. Look after your feelings, have realistic expectations of yourself, focus on the things you've done well, and give yourself some recognition and positive feedback.

Look after your feelings and keep yourself in a good place. It's actually pretty simple: eat well, sleep well, exercise moderately, and stay happy, right?

It's not easy to do, though. Even if we don't often achieve these four goals, it still has a big impact on our state. We all know we need to take care of ourselves to have the energy and strength to help others, right?

For instance, people in the mental health field often burn out. So, it's crucial to make sure we have enough energy to help others.

So, when you're feeling a bit tired, it's a good idea to adjust your lifestyle so that you don't have too much to do and don't feel too much pressure. For example, make time every day for exercise, entertainment, rest, and make sure you get enough sleep.

At the same time, we also need to have a reasonable position and expectations for ourselves. It's good to look at what we do well and see what we've achieved, rather than always looking at what we haven't achieved yet. For example, let's take my answering as an example again. When I first started answering questions, I could only answer one question a day, and it was still very difficult. Moreover, I usually got starred answers instead of excellent answers. If I had set a goal for myself at that time to answer several questions a day, or to answer excellent questions, I would have put a lot of pressure on myself, which would have caused me to feel frustrated a lot. I would even have felt that I wasn't suitable for answering questions. I would have stopped and given up.

I've set more reasonable goals for myself and my ability to answer questions has also changed. I can now answer 2-3 questions a day, for example. I stick to this goal and plan every day and I get a lot of positive feedback and a sense of accomplishment. If I set my sights higher and aim to answer 5-6 questions a day, I'll feel the pressure and become frustrated.

It might also be worth checking if you're setting the bar too high for yourself. When you adjust your expectations and positioning, you'll have more motivation and confidence to keep doing the things you love and are interested in.

3. You can also join some supportive groups where you can support and encourage each other and grow together.

The Hawthorne effect in psychology shows that when we're in a supportive group, the mutual support and encouragement among group members will empower each other and allow everyone to move forward and grow with vitality.

That's why it's important to support and encourage each other in a supportive group. When we're alone, we're more likely to burn out. If we can have a supportive group where we can chat about our small problems and worries together and give each other advice and support, you'll feel more empowered and motivated. There are also communities for novelists and crafters...

I'll give you an example of how I answered questions in the One Mind People project. Sometimes I got tired of answering questions, and there were times when I didn't want to answer a question when I saw it. But since it was a competition, the seniors would often motivate us and give us positive and constructive feedback. This was really helpful because in a group there is a positive influence on each other, so that you can constantly break through and achieve new results. Now we also have an answer exchange group, where everyone can exchange their feelings and experiences, which can also have a positive effect.

Just a heads-up: This is for reference only. Best wishes!

Good day, question asker. My name is Evan.

From the description, it can be seen that the questioner is currently experiencing a sense of existential crisis. Engaging in a side business of writing has an impact on his mood, and once it comes to the side business, he will become depressed. Based on the questioner's self-report of symptoms, it can be initially determined that the questioner may be in a depressed state.

In this context, I would like to offer the original poster (OP) some encouragement and guidance. While the OP has the potential to earn a significant income from his side business, he may also find himself trapped in a cycle of low-value work, which could lead to feelings of depression.

One might inquire as to the original purpose of the questioner when he first initiated these side businesses. Should these side businesses deviate from the questioner's original intention, it would be interesting to see whether the questioner would experience a sense of self-negation.

It is not uncommon for individuals to pursue side businesses for reasons related to personal fulfillment. These endeavors may serve to utilize idle time, actualize one's intrinsic value, and enhance overall well-being. Consequently, effectively navigating the realm of a side business necessitates a comprehensive introspective examination.

As the question was posed on an online forum, it is not feasible to provide a comprehensive response. Therefore, the following advice can be offered:

It is imperative to be honest.

It is essential for the questioner to be honest about their current choice. The reasons for choosing a certain side business vary from person to person. Some individuals engage in such work solely for financial gain, while others do so because they possess a particular skill or talent.

Given the diversity of goals among individuals, it is imperative for the questioner to be introspective and honest with themselves about their current actions and the underlying motives behind pursuing this particular line of work.

What is the rationale behind your decision to pursue this side business?

What are the benefits of this exercise?

What are your expectations for this entrepreneurial venture?

What distinguishes you from your competitors in this endeavor?

What are the resources that you believe you require in this situation?

It is important to learn to regulate one's own emotions and responses to external stimuli.

Regular deep breathing has been demonstrated to be an effective method for alleviating negative emotions. This practice can be performed at any time and in any location, with noticeable results within a few minutes. The following are some straightforward techniques for deep breathing:

Prior to inhaling deeply, it is advisable to locate a tranquil location in which to sit or lie down comfortably.

Position your hands on the abdomen, just below the sternum.

Count to five and then inhale slowly, allowing the air to sink into the abdomen.

Sustain the breath for several seconds, then release it gradually.

The subject should then breathe slowly from the diaphragm for a period of between five and ten minutes.

Should any thoughts or ideas arise during the breathing exercise, it is advised that they be disregarded and one's attention returned to the breathing process.

The following section will present a relaxation exercise.

Progressive muscle relaxation can also facilitate the rapid alleviation of negative emotions. When performing this relaxation exercise, it is recommended to gradually tense and relax the muscles of the body in a gradual and systematic manner, from the toes to the head, focusing on a single body part at a time. The following are some key considerations:

The first step is to select a comfortable location in which to assume a recumbent position.

In order to achieve this, the subject should close their eyes and curl their toes in order to tense the muscles in their toes.

The toes should then be relaxed, after which the feet should be flexed and the foot muscles tensed.

The next step is to relax the feet and continue working on the calves.

Gradually tense and relax each part of the body in turn, beginning with the toes and concluding with the forehead.

During this process, it is recommended that some light music be played. Should the individual be unable to relax effectively on their own, it is advised that they search online for audio related to relaxation exercises, which can also effectively assist the questioner in relaxing. During this relaxation process, the questioner may also wish to consider their thoughts regarding a potential side business and their inner thoughts.

It is recommended that you engage in conversation with friends.

Should one feel trapped in a certain mood and unable to extricate oneself, it may be beneficial to inform one's friends and family about one's state, or even to document it as an experience. In short, it is advisable to share one's negative emotions with others, as this can facilitate the release of such emotions and help one to adjust one's state of mind and return to one's work state more quickly.

One may consider contacting a friend to discuss one's concerns or extending an invitation for a face-to-face conversation. However, it is important to exercise caution regarding the frequency and reciprocity of such interactions. In the event that the friend in question exhibits a more pessimistic outlook, it is advisable to refrain from introducing negative emotions into the discourse.

One should attempt to distract oneself.

Additionally, rapidly shifting one's attention can serve to diminish the extent to which one is absorbed in negative emotions. When experiencing such emotions, it is advisable to engage in activities that necessitate concentration.

Alternatively, one may engage in exercises that necessitate the use of both hands and feet. By concentrating on these activities for approximately ten to fifteen minutes, an individual can effectively disengage from the internal monologue and distract themselves from the tendency to become overly absorbed in one's own thoughts.

It is recommended that one listen to light music.

A multitude of musical genres have been demonstrated to induce relaxation. Listening to music that is conducive to relaxation can help to alleviate negative emotions.

Classical music, piano music, and other similar genres are conducive to relaxation.

It is recommended that you record your feelings.

In the event of encountering stimuli that elicit negative emotions, it is recommended to engage in a process of written documentation. This may prove an effective method for alleviating distress. The individual should take the time to record their thoughts in a notebook.

In the event that the internal monologue persists in its unproductive trajectory, it may be beneficial to intervene with a constructive conclusion or the establishment of a feasible, time-bound objective. This approach may prove more efficacious than allowing the internal narrative to unfold unchecked, as it may prove detrimental to one's capacity for work.

It is recommended that you seek the assistance of a qualified professional.

It is also recommended that individuals experiencing negative emotions in their daily lives seek the assistance of a qualified professional, such as a counselor. A competent counselor can assist in the alleviation of distressing thoughts and the development of effective coping strategies.

In the event that one is unable to concentrate on work or study due to the recurrence of such imaginings, it would be advisable to seek psychological treatment.

In addition to recognizing negative emotions, practicing relaxation, seeking mental health professional assistance, and avoiding stimulant-containing foods, such as those containing caffeine and nicotine, are recommended. As long as the questioner can face negative emotions in a positive manner, significant change is likely.

It is my hope that this response will prove beneficial to the questioner.
