When i try to virtuemaxx in every aspect of life it just gets so boring after the first 2 days. This could be summed up by comparing the taste of delicious wrap tendies from that food joint a few blocks away from my house to the one of healthy foods that are bland as fuck and not filling in the same way.
It's the same with the way you spend your time. "Mindfulness" is a good thing if you're doing something that's really demanding mentally or that needs you to deflect things like anxiety, etc. But when you're alone at home, this is absolute suifuel and might be worse than playing vidya or something. I had these phases when i tried to cope by reading books as if it was inherently better but could feel myself insidiously falling into a pit of depression because the escapism was just less pronounced which was getting to me long term. Fucking brutal.
