After my move, I worked hard every day to settle down.
By the way, the most physically demanding part was going shopping on my bicycle. Although such a life required physical strength, I realized it was strangely fulfilling. Today, I will talk about it.
How to find another fulfillment
Sometimes, we want another fulfillment, especially when we have doubts about our current environment or way of life. In an unhealthy environment, we never feel satisfied, no matter how much we give to others. That makes us want to know another fulfillment.
Living in the countryside could be another option to live healthily. We want to be distant from social stress that exhausts us mentally and physically.
However, we sometimes don’t know how to feel fulfilled in such a country life. It seems boring. That keeps us in the current situation.
Today, I will introduce a way to get fulfillment in country life through my experience. You can spend a day for yourself. This option may show you a different way to enjoy life in a peaceful place.
The fulfillment that spending time for yourself gives
Spend a day for yourself. That is a way to get fulfillment in country life.
If we are empathic and in society, we may believe that making others happy is the supreme happiness. It is exciting and makes us happy, too.
However, if we start to live in the countryside, spending a day for ourselves gives us deep fulfillment.
A lifestyle away from social stresses
This may be because we are distant from society. There are fewer people around us, and the strong emotions that affect us are also less. That makes our emotions stable.
In such a state, spending time for ourselves makes us happier because we don’t have to take care of others. The first one to try to satisfy becomes ourselves.
If we can spend one day for ourselves, we can be honest with ourselves and consider our way of life. We don’t have to disguise ourselves. That gives us a natural way of life.
Of course, we also want to make others happy. However, life in the countryside gives us stability without being influenced by our surroundings’ occasional emotions. We can focus on what we want to contribute to people from the perspective of our whole life.
My experience of noticing it
In my case, I found this fulfillment on a day I rode my bicycle far away to shop. That night, I was tired of shopping and organizing my home. I had a delicious dinner and went to bed.
In bed, despite my heavy physical tiredness, I felt, “Today was a great day.” That was the most fulfilling moment in these months.
That surprised me because I realized I felt fulfilled without contributing to anyone. I noticed I had believed that making someone happy was my happiness. I didn’t know how satisfying it would be to spend a day just for myself and exhausted by it.
I found myself obsessively trying to make others happy.
Living from a long-term perspective
Of course, that is also one of my aspects. However, I was able to stop sticking to it.
Now I feel it is enough if I have something to contribute throughout my life. This gave me a long-term perspective. I understood I don’t have to care for people’s short-term emotions. Dealing with things in the long term would be one of my talents and social roles.
If we are in a busy society, we often forget it. In such a case, living in the countryside could remind us of that and give us a comfortable long-term way of life.
After this experience, I became more tolerant of short-term sacrifices. Perhaps this is my style. I prefer long-term stability to short-term profits. That is my nature.
Conclusion
That is a way to get fulfillment in country life through my experience.
You can spend a day for yourself. Living in the countryside could remind us of that and give us a comfortable long-term way of life.
This option may show you a different way to enjoy life.
