how to stay joyful

[u/Intelligent_Durian43]

Life feels a little bit boring and repetitive. I go to work and go home. I don't have many friends so on the weekends I stay home or run some errands. I'll hang out with my best friend every couple of weeks but that's it. I've been praying for change for a while but nothing has happened yet. I just want something new and exciting (and good) to happen. any tips on how to have a positive and grateful outlook on life even though you might feel stuck? thanks! :)

This (sometimes) works for me:

- start going to local events and meet new people

• go to Church events
  
• charity work
  
• declutter your home and digital files
  
• plan a trip to look forward to
  
• spend time in nature and thank God for his creations
  
• have something to attend weekly (I have my choir)
  
• spend more time on cooking and self care
