Feeling empty inside?

Ever get an empty feeling your life has no aim or purpose? Feel lost with no direction to go? Don’t worry – this is normal and should be embraced…

We all get feelings of emptiness from time to time. We feel we are wasting our lives – existing rather than living. Thing is… you have these feelings for a reason.

You need change

Feeling empty inside is your mind screaming at you to change. You may have a great life that worked well in the past, but it has become stale, boring and predictable.

We thrive on change. It makes us feel fresh, revitalised, and alive. You NEED change.

Your life may be great on paper, but it’s no longer working for you. It is becoming tired and routine.

The change could be a new job, new relationship, moving house, or inner change. Actually all these examples are inner change. Here’s why…

Inner change

You get a new job, relationship or house and feel excited. You buzz about your future and feel happy and positive. You feel like anything is possible.

This is because it has forced something inside you to change. You have come out of your comfort zone and this has made you HAVE to change. Inner change can be exiting, challenging and exhilarating.

Autopilot

You cannot live on autopilot when things are new. It forces you to open your eyes and mind to the world.

The problem is that after a while you slip into a comfort zone where your life returns to being stale and boring. Your new house no longer provides excitement after a while. You go back on autopilot and close your mind and eyes to the world.

During periods of change is where you most learn and grow. You learn very little on autopilot, following your pre-set routines. You are also at your happiest.

This is why it is important for your growth and health to keep changing things in your life. Be mindful not to get too bogged down into routines.

What to change?

You cannot get a new job, relationship or house all the time. But there are things you can keep changing.

You can get yourself new hobbies, new friends, find new places to go. Try new foods. Watch different TV shows and films. Change your routines. Be more spontaneous.

If you don’t, this could be you…

Get out my seat!

My sister used to work in a pub and told me the bizarre way some customers acted…

Some people would go to the pub at the same time every night. They sit in the same seat, and do all the same things every night.

They buy the same drink every time they go in. When they changed their drink, it would be in the same order as usual. Smoke a cigar with their third drink. At the end of the night they would leave at their regular time.

This is a true example of living in a rut. Their routine is so ingrained that they find it difficult and upsetting breaking it. They become angry if someone is sat in “their” seat. I’ve seen this before where the landlord politely asks someone to move because a regular customers always sit in a particular seat. They know how upset they’ll be, and ask you to move for the sake of diplomacy.

Imagine living like this. If having to sit in a different seat upsets you. What if the pub runs out of your favourite drink? Imagine if the pub burned down – you’d be distraught!

How much is that person enjoying their repeated experience? Do they learn new things each time? No they don’t. They get a level of comfort from it, but each time they ingrain these behaviours a little deeper. They get the comfort now, but will be more distraught when the pattern is disrupted in the future.

Surely there’s more to life than repeating experiences in a cycle? How can your days be memorable if they’re all the same?

Final thoughts

Be mindful of your repeated behaviours and learn to shake them up. You will be warned when your life becomes stale by those empty feelings we spoke about. Ignore them at your peril! These unpleasant feelings are here to help you. They are here to nudge you into action. Take notice of them and act.

Change will make you feel uncomfortable, but it usually leaves you feeling invigorated and alive. It expands your mind and keeps you healthy and sane.

Don’t turn into a drone that mindlessly drifts through life. Embrace feeling empty inside and make changes. Keep your life varied and interesting and you will be handsomely rewarded.
