Here s a challenge: If it s something you wouldn t ordinarily do, do it. Try a dish you ve never eaten. Listen to music you d ordinarily tune out. You ll discover these small things add to your emotional energy.
2. Reclaim life s meaning.
So many of my patients tell me that their lives used to have meaning, but that
somewhere along the line things went stale.
The first step in solving this meaning shortage is to figure out what you really care about, and then do something about it. A case in point is Ivy, 57, a pioneer in investment banking. I mistakenly believed that all the money I made would mean something, she says. But I feel lost, like a 22-year-old wondering what to do with her life. Ivy s solution? She started a program that shows Wall Streeters how to donate time and money to poor children. In the process, Ivy filled her life with meaning.
3. Put yourself in the fun zone.
Most of us grown-ups are seriously fun-deprived. High-energy people have the same day-to-day work as the rest of us, but they manage to find something enjoyable in every situation. A real estate broker I know keeps herself amused on the job by mentally redecorating the houses she shows to clients. I love imagining what even the most run-down house could look like with a little tender loving care, she says. It s a challenge and the least desirable properties are usually the most fun.
