How do I make my life more interesting while I'm still young?

[GroovyGuru]

For those of you in your early 20s like me, or for even those of you who are not... how do I make my life more interesting? 

I recently graduated college and am now in grad school going for my masters. I'm only going part-time as my main priority is finding my first full-time job. I studied finance so it's probably gonna be with a bank or some other boring institution. I've been living at home for 22 straight years. I went to a local university and lived at home all throughout college, so needless to say I missed out on a lot. Also partly my fault because I could have tried way harder to make the most of my situation and make a bunch of new friends.

I have a lot of friends but we never really do anything that interesting. Every day is basically the same for me. I'll apply to some jobs and maybe do an interview, work out, read, and that's about it. It's been like this for years and I'm so bored with my life. I don't have a girlfriend and don't even know any chicks. I fantasize about having such an amazing life where I travel and do random cool shit. I just don't see when this is going to happen because I'm only gonna be busier when I get a full-time job I probably won't even like.

Do I need to find a hobby or something? I don't know, my life just feels so damn boring. Don't get me wrong, I'm extremely grateful for everything I have and for my immigrant parents who have worked hard to make the best life for me they could. It could be much worse and I'm aware of that. And there's things I'm passionate about.  I just feel I've been stuck in the same spot  for years and don't quite know how to get out of it and where to go from here....

appears to me you're lacking sense of direction. have you tried Leo's LP course?

Yeah it's like that for a lot of people I know, and even for myself sometimes is not easy.

I am 25, my life changed a lot. Moving out of my parents house is the best thing I could've ever done to myself. I choose my food, I buy it, I bring it home, I take care of my bills, I take care of whether I see anyone that day or stay at home all day long. I am responsible of how deeply I fall for vices, junk food, netflix, porn. I am responsible for whether that's even an option in my life. For me it was super crucial to move out, Maybe I really needed the control.

As to things I do. I work at 7:30 in the moring. And for me, at this point in  my life, I found that I like doing Yoga and breathwork, being at the beach or surrounded by nature. 

So I wake up extra early to do all those things. Although my goal is 4:30 AM, for now I settle for 5AM. I get up and ride to the park(which is also close to the beach). I do my Yoga and I go to the beach for a dip + breath work. It's important that you understand that I do not do these things for spiritual progress or anything other than the fact, that, it makes my life more enjoyable. There is seriously nothing better for me than the feeling you get after getting up from a good yoga session, after doing breathwork, after take a deep dive in the salty sea water and getting it everywhere(I even swallow some of it, I love it). 

Today I started a new practice, when I wake up I start by writing down the things I am worried about, things I fear, things I am anxious about, things I am emotional about. I write it in a form of a question, and then I bless myself, to have the strength of love. To let go of what is no longer in my service, and to love even deeper myself, and everyone, I also bless everything all those emotions and fear and worries as greater catalysts of the love that is in everyone, and may it begin by awakening in me first, if it may.

These things feel so good for me. 

Then I can go on by my day.

And my day... It doesn't really matter how boring it's at work, or how anxious I am or whatever I worry about, because I have that 30% increase in will power, love and really.. It's Power, it's higher power. That allows me to enjoy whatever I am doing, and instead of being destroyed by my own ego, other people's worries, and the toxicity in the air, I can feel into it, more of a challenge or if you may, a gift...

See maybe today you didn't have it in you to approach that girl. Maybe you don't even know how you will ever get there.. But you will, and it certainly won't happen by continuing to go down on yourself, but it works much much better when you give yourself the positive treatment, like i mean, do things that make you feel good, as if life is a big massage, and ride the waves of pleasure to whatever you find yourself attracted to, that way you're not suffering, and you can actually have fun! And then everyone wins! And life is great and amazing, as it should be. So ride ecstasy, ride your greatest excitement, ride whatever, simply, makes you feel good in your body and mind

My life & boring are thoughts not feeling. Listen to the feeling, not the thoughts.

You might take a look into opening an insurance & financial services agency. You only need a bachelors, you’d be self employed making residual / passive income. Put in a couple years to grow the business and you’d have the time & money to travel all you want. I’m not a recruiter nor recruiting, but feel free to pm me if you have any questions.

That's what I was going to say. It's worth every penny in my opinion

[GroovyGuru]

@General 2 No, but I think the time has come to stop thinking about it and finally pull the trigger.

Find a good hobby for yourself

To me, it sounds like you’re not feeling deeply and therefore  you’re preventing yourself from going after things that you really want.

Start diving deep into your emotions to find out more about yourself and do things that make you feel something.

Start asking yourself what makes you really excited, for example. Or sad. Upset. Angry. Jealous. What makes you laugh and cry... All that jazz.
