Most days I sort of feel like I’m empty and I’m not really sure what to do about it. I want to be better and hopefully find some sense of direction, motivation, or fulfillment. I could definitely use some advice and help, please and thank you!

    The vast majority of people are wired to get a dopamine boost from helping others.

    Doesn’t matter how you do it, can be as inconsequential as noob sitting in a video game, or real world productive like volunteering at a soup kitchen.

    But it’ll help.

        My wife and I take near daily walks through our neighborhood. One day we decided on a whim to take a couple bags with us and pick up trash as we walked. Ended up turning into an impromptu competition and we were laughing our asses off by the time we finished the 1.5 mile loop and got back to our house. We dumped about four bag loads of litter in our garbage can, and now we do it once every few times we walk. We couldn’t believe how nice it was just to walk around and not see litter for once! Just an idea :)
