Does your life feel like it’s flat-lined?

Does it seem like everything you used to be enthusiastic about is now as joyful as a dead fish? 

Are you wondering what’s going on? 

And more importantly, how can you rediscover your zest for life and start to feel like yourself again?

8 Signs Of Apathy

First, let’s take a look at 8 common signs of apathy. Knowledge is power, and I want you to regain yours.

Here they are:

  • Your productivity is way down 
  • You’re disinterested in your activities
  • You’ve lost your passion and motivation
  • You feel indifferent to your goals
  • You’re uninterested in self-care
  • You feel flat and lifeless
  • You can’t muster up the energy to emotionally respond to either positive or negative events
  • You no longer feel excitement, sadness, or anger

You see how some of these signs overlap with each other? Apathy symptoms tend to cluster around a general lack of emotion and energy about, well, anything. It’s a general feeling of “meh”. 

Apathy can also be a sign of burnout – which has been recognized as an official medical diagnosis by the World Health Organization. In other words, it can be serious.

If you’re really in the throes of apathy, you can find it difficult to succeed at work, keep healthy relationships, and maintain good physical and emotional health. And if you’ve experienced  sudden or inexplicable apathy, this could be a sign of an underlying mental or physical health problem. 

6 Ways To Break Free From Apathy And Enjoy Your Life (Again)

Now that I’ve given you some common signs of apathy, let’s take a look at six ways you can shake it off and start to feel like yourself again.

#1 Switch up your routine. Make small changes to your usual routine. Shake things up a bit. Go in a little earlier to work. Say hi to a new person. Your goal is to get out of a rut you may be in.

#2 Create an uplifting mood. Is there somewhere you feel particularly good, maybe in nature or a certain room in your home? Spend extra time there, soaking up the positive environment.

#3 Find the positive aspects in your life. Perhaps it’s your child’s smile, or the scent of rain when you sit on your porch during a storm. Sit down with a piece of paper and a pen. For five minutes, write down anything that’s positive in your life. Keep writing; don’t stop until the time’s up. 

#4 Reframe your thoughts. When you find yourself mired in negative thoughts and beliefs reframe them into more positive statements. For example, you may be down on yourself because of your apathy, and feel like it will last forever. Try “I’m feeling out of sorts right now, but it’s temporary. It will pass.” 

#5 Remind yourself of past joys. You haven’t always been apathetic. What do you recall that you felt joyful about in the past? Write it down. Remind yourself of the circumstances and range of your feelings.
