This is not a new thought for me and I’m sure many people have thought the exact same thing – there’s way more to life than the life I’m currently living.

I was just listening to an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience (#809 – Aubrey Marcus) and at exactly an hour in Joe described this perfectly:

“We evolved and developed as hunter-gatherers and there’s a reward system set up inside our very being. These needs don’t get met in today’s society… One of these things that’s causing this funk that we’re in is the fact that we’re living our lives in these very unfulfilling ways. We’re going to this office with artificial light and doing something that you don’t want to do all day long, then you get home and you’re tired. You feel like shit. And on top of this, you’re eating shit – you’re eating potato chips and drinking soda and your body is like, ‘What in the fuck is this? We’re supposed to be out in the fields walking up hills, we’re supposed to be looking for animals or gathering up vegetables…’ We’re not doing the things that our bodies were designed to do; we were meant to be out in nature.”

I don’t consider myself ‘depressed’ by any means, but I’m definitely in a bit of a funk. We should be doing things that are way more fulfilling. We should be doing things that we WANT to do and that make us feel good and be happy. It’s time to start living life.
