Do you ever wake up in the morning feeling glum because life just isn’t as interesting or engaging as you think it should be? You are far from being alone in that. So many of us go through the motions of daily life never really feeling fulfilled. It’s like we’re stuck in a rerun of “Groundhog Day,” minus the groundhog and Bill Murray. If you can relate, then you might just be experiencing a “call to meaning”. This basically means the universe is nudging you to find some more meaning in your life.
Not sure if this applies to you? Here are some sure signs that you need to do something more meaningful with your life, like right now!
1. Your couch has imprinted your body shape
If you spend so much time on your couch that you can actually see an outline of your body in the fabric, then this is a pretty clear sign you are unfulfilled. Excited, passionate people who always have something meaningful to do are not the same people who spend hours each night in front of the TV, so et that butt imprint be a wakeup call for you.
2. You have more online friends than real ones
Scrolling through social media is great, but if your thumbs get more exercise than the rest of your body and your besties are people you’ve never met IRL, you may want to rethink your priorities. Nothing beats a face-to-face chat and a good belly laugh with friends. Plus, they’re way better at handling your emotional breakdowns than your phone screen. Time to spend more time in the real world!
3. The Monday blues have turned into every day blues
If your job has become as thrilling as watching paint dry and every day feels like Monday on a never-ending loop, then my friend, you’re due for a change. You’re not a robot, so don’t be okay with pushing buttons all day, every day, unless they’re arcade game buttons and you’re beating the high score! Whether you want to go back to school and get your Master of Divinity (M.Div) so you can do a job you actually are passionate about or you want to apply for that promotion so you can do more challenging work, the time is now. You really don’t have to be blue about what you do!
4. You’re living vicariously through fictional characters
If the highlight of your life is watching 007 and daydreaming that you’re a sexy international spy, or reading Twilight over and over wishing an exciting stranger would walk into your life too, then it’s a clear sign you are lacking meaning in your life. Put the book down, turn off the TV, and start thinking what you can actually do in the real world to start enjoying life more.
If any of these signs are all too familiar with you and your life, then it is time to make a change for the better. You can do it!
