I suppose there is some truth to this title, since deceased humans can’t really weigh-in.
What is your feeling about the other part of life (I.e. having a zest for life)?
With all the confusion I experience, there is little to no “zest for life.”
Rather, there is a desire (at this time) to be here, and some gratitude for being alive.
This can all change in a moment, if I were to have compounded medical problems.
My hope is that more medical issues wouldn’t change things, but they certainly could.
Thus, I do what I do each day, these days, to try and create an atmosphere, where I want to and am able to get some sort of nutrition and exercise (among other wants).
And, I do this by recording and playing back my very own affirmations, beliefs, quotes, sayings, and (ideal) experiences.
And, for the record, having made these recordings and playing them back, is a lot better than listening to anyone else definitively telling you what you should think! 🙂
By now, I am doing alright with creating simplistic background music too, which helps to keep me focused on the words I am speaking.
I get a bit of a thrill listening to my voice, telling me what I should think and feel—with options no less!
Options are important!
So yes, it helps to reinforce these things, and it takes a lot of time to figure many of them out!
As someone battling severe mental illness, I can only hope that I continue down this non-delusional path of personal growth, and in a way that helps rather than hurts.
Thanks for reading, and if you would, please share some things that you do ritualistically, that serve to help you with your days!
For me, zest for life left the building a long time ago.
That’s great that playing back your own affirmation recordings is helpful!

Thanks for sharing. I find that having recorded various kinds of positive information, only helps me with my goals.

Wet wipes are so underrated for days when washing my hands with soap feels like too much effort. Sharing a bathroom with 5 people can be annoying when the door’s lock is slightly faulty and when 2 people hang their basket (of shower and bathroom stuff) in a low key chronic ANNOYING way so I can’t hang mine properly lol.

That’s tough and yeah, shower and bathroom stuff are difficult to compromise on too.

As for zest for life, nature can light a spark sometimes. If I can even walk to the park.
If you ever use Instagram, you can record yourself and select from a lot of background music I think! Some people make their own background music but I don’t know how they do it.

Cool! That’s a way to get started and even do it that way if one prefers!
