One of the more famous quotes from Shawshank Redemption is
“Either get busy living or get busy dying”
An interesting quote that says life’s activities can be divided into a dichotomy.
Well I prefer the two extremes of ‘numbing oneself’ and ‘feeling alive’ and I’ve listed some identifiers for these activities.
Numbing Oneself
Repetitive work
Tell me what to do
Zone out
Distractions please
Something familiar
Inaction ruled by fear
Comfortable
Bored
Apathy
Feeling Alive
Creative work
Figure it out myself
In the zone
Focus please
Something new
Action despite fear
Scared
Excited
Empathy
Recognise any of these?
