As I approach 50, a quiet , boring life sounds pretty good. Even though I am pursuing a new direction in my career path...I look forward to living with the mountains in my backyard and helping others. If you are on the constant go, you miss a lot. It's awesome to just be still. 💚
I feel I need to stop coffee too! Like you I has a life of excess and now long for stability and "boring" / quiet life. My family think I am depressed but I just evolved. I don t regret all the crazy time of the past but today I need more grounding, slow pace and simplicity. I really appreciate your knowledge on the nervous system stress, trauma and healing. It s very important message. I, myself just started a nervous system reset course that addresses all you have mentioned. I am because more authentic with my actions, speech and intentions.
So cool Conni ! Mir war das ständige Reisen nach ein paar Jahren schon too much. Ich erwische mich jetzt, wo ich an einem Ort wohne, dass ich aber immer noch nach was Aufregendem suche. Am Abend stellt sich mein Hirn immer wieder die Frage: "Jetzt ins Bett gehen... Äh, wir haben noch nichts aufregendes gemacht?" ... aber ich spüre, dass es meinem Körper nicht gut tut ! Sau cool deine Geschichte zu hören nach so langer Zeit !
I'm totally the opposite of everyone. I lived the boring life since I was a kid, I did absolutely nothing the other kid typically did, such as hanging out, playing outside, going to movies, etc. When I was a teen, same thing, nothing, no parties, no prom, nothing. Now, that I'm older, I don't want to live this boring life anymore. I want to break free from it. I'm over it, now. I regret not doing anything when was younger. I wasted all those years. It really bothers me a lot that I wasted so much time doing nothing. I just didn't fit in when I was younger, and well I still don't, but I'm just tired of doing nothing with my life.
Awesome video. I've started realizing that I need to begin living more of a 'boring' life because I find myself pretty exhausted being constantly on the go all the time (Work, traveling, etc.). This was the inspo I needed!
ein langweiliges Leben an so einen Platz, direkt am Strand :-) ich freu mich wenn es dir gut geht, aber da bist du auch privilegiert bzw. konntest dir das nur durch deine Erfahrungen davor überhaupt erst ermöglichen...weil es mit dem eines sonstigen Durchschnittsmenschen (zb in einer größeren Stadt, in nicht so schöner Lage, ohne Sonne)... eher nicht vergleichbar ist...alles Gute weiterhin...
"langweilig" liegt im Auge des Betrachers/Betrachterin. In dem Video geht es um meine persönliche Erfahrung, nicht darum mich zu vergleichen. Es geht nicht darum, dass ich jetzt an einem tollen Ort lebe, sondern dass ich nacht vielen Jahren nun mit 40 endlich ein stabiles Zuhause habe, eine feste Partnerschaft und ich nicht mehr dem Dopaminrausch hinterher renne.
Great content for all who seek to slow down. I purposely choose the “boring” lifestyle and avoid chaos and stress at all costs. Peace, serenity and calm are what I seek daily. Blessings to all 🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing your journey, Conni. After being ambitious in my 20s and personal loss in my 30s, I spent my 40s keeping life small to accommodate my anxieties. Now, on the cusp of early retirement, I will be venturing out more and stretching my comfort zone. I'll take your example and suggestions with me.
Thank you for your generous video. Personally, I believe 'boring' is not the most conducive word choice here... Perhaps its simply 'lifestyle' . I now find more meaning and connection in a life that finds space for rest, restoration, reflection, etc. Allowing more time for love, wisdom, self care, etc. And whilst age has nothing to do with it, maturity and self-efficacy does xxx
I was always very outgoing and hyper and always had a lot going on. When COVID hit I got bored and it drove me nuts. I decided to make a big move to Ireland with my husband (who is Irish) and while going abroad can be amazing, my nervous system at the time needed to slow down and instead I made a life changing move. My mental and physical health suffered in the beginning and I didn't fully anticipate how much a drastic change of environment will affect you, esp when you have taxed adrenals. I got to travel through Europe and have had some amazing experiences but with highs that everyone sees there were also lows. I learned a lot about myself in the process.
I can only agree: I am now learning to slow down, to listen to my own needs and wants which is what I never could when I was a small child. It has been a much longer journey than yours, so congratulations on learning this so much earlier! ;-) The good thing is that we learn so much from these intense times and we can actually start to 'fall into a boring life' which is not really a boring life but a slow(er) life. 😃
Hi Conni, ich nehme an, dann bist du dieses Jahr nicht auf der DNK :) Viel Erfolg bei der Kunst des langweiligen Lebens :) Dopamin-Nation ist ein gutes Buch, das das ganze Problem mit Dopamin erklärt. Danke für das Video :)
