how to make every day SO fun you don’t even have time to scroll

How do you make every day so fun that you don’t even have time to scroll? I used to feel like every day was the same. I would wake up late, waste time scrolling, go to work, and repeat. And I genuinely hated myself for doing it. Like, I just felt like my life sucked. I saw myself falling into a trap of reliving the exact same day over and over again, and I didn’t like it. But then, I managed to break free. Free from

The endless depressing cycle. Free from feeling stuck all the time. And it might sound a little crazy, but it was all of the game Dark Souls that I was able to turn my boring, repetitive life into a life where every day felt special and new and colorful. Dark Souls taught me that you don’t stop scrolling by just trying to stop scrolling. You stop scrolling by creating a life that’s more fun than your phone. A life that has you

So preoccupied that you don’t even have time to scroll. But it doesn’t really make sense, right? When you think of the game Dark Souls, fun is not the first word that comes to mind. You think difficult, rage-inducing, and makes me want to cry. But fun? That’s debatable. Nothing about this game looks like fun. It’s dark, gray, and the monsters are all ugly. Fun doesn’t exist in a place like this. But then, who is this gentleman over here dressed so

Flamboyantly? He sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the world around him. Let’s go talk to him. >> I am Solaire of Astora, an adherent of the Lord of Sunlight. >> If there is any representation of fun or happiness in Dark Souls, it’s Solaire. He speaks in such a jovial manner. It’s like having Santa Claus in this depressing world. He doesn’t act depressed or on the verge of insanity, making him way more likable in comparison to other characters who laugh

Madly after every sentence. >> He’s just a bro. The kind of guy who would help you move your furniture. He’s the first guy in the game that you can actually summon for a boss fight, help you on your quest. Solaire taught me that you can still be jolly and gay even when the world is dark and gray. He taught me how to make my life so fun that I don’t even have time to scroll and waste my time consuming other

People’s lives because I’m too busy participating in my own fun, my own life. Now I want to tell you what we can all learn from Solaire and can apply to our real lives to have more fun and live more fully. When we first meet him, he says he’s on a mission to find his own sun. We don’t really know what the that means, but it seems pretty important to him and worthy of his effort. Although he is dressed a little

Funny and he speaks in a humorous way, he’s actually very serious about his mission. He has high quality armor, he knows of magic healing spells that only the most experienced healers can do, and he knows much about the world around us that would otherwise seem completely nonsensical. He might look like he’s just messing around, but he’s actually the only character in the game besides us that can fight the final boss Gwyn with us. He’s skilled enough

To make it to the end of the game. But how is it possible to be serious and so jolly at the same time? I think the answer lies in the way Solaire approaches life itself. Solaire makes a quest out of everything. When he sets off to find his own sun, now it’s like he’s going on an adventure, and adventures are cool. You can meet cool new people, get stronger, see beautiful views, and hopefully achieve the goal that the adventure was

About in the first place. And Solaire does all of these things. He meets us, another adventurer, and becomes our friend. He’s often seen looking out on the horizon just admiring the view of where he is, all while he’s still working toward his main goal. But the thing is, just having a quest, a goal, will not solve your problem of feeling like every day is the same because almost everybody in Dark Souls has a quest. Big Hat Logan is obsessed with

Knowledge. Siegmeyer is obsessed with adventure. Everybody is pursuing something. The difference is that most of them let their quest consume them. They become obsessed, bitter, and hollow. But Solaire is different. He has a goal that’s incredibly important to him, but somehow he never loses his ability to enjoy the journey. He still stops to admire the scenery. He still finds the time to help other people on their own adventures. He still laughs. He still praises the sun. And I think

That’s why he’s become one of the most beloved characters in the entire series. When you’re on an adventure, everything is not just about reaching the goal. It’s also about the journey itself. When the adventure is no longer an adventure and is just about going from point A to point B, it becomes boring and you forget why you’re even doing it anymore. Life becomes way more interesting when you actively engage with it like it’s an adventure. The walk home from school or

Work can be extremely boring, especially if you see it every single day. So, what if you made it into a quest? What if you took a different path home to explore more of the map? What if you just started running instead of walking? What if you started noticing all the different kinds of trees or flowers and try to identify different species? Instead of just doing work at your job, what if we reframed it mentally as a

Quest that we don’t have to conquer, but we want to conquer? Sitting at a boring desk job? Nah. Saving up enough money to move away or start a family or go on an adventure? Well, that starts to sound a little more appealing, doesn’t it? Whenever I want to make something fun in my own life, I make it into a quest. I love getting up early to record a new video because it feels like I’m on a mission. Like first thing in the

Morning, I have to get up and record this video. I like to run to landmarks like a big hill near where I live because it feels more like an adventure instead of just exercising and running. Recently, when I’m coming home after I get off the train, I’ve been walking a slightly longer way home just because it feels more interesting and new to me. Feels more adventurous. The reason scrolling is so addictive is because every swipe gives you something

New. A new joke, a new opinion, a new story. Phones win because they constantly feed us novelty, something new. But Solaire creates novelty in real life. Every new path, every new person, every new adventure, every act of jolly cooperation. When every day of your real life is exactly the same, of course the phone is going to win. But Solaire solves this problem by turning his life into an adventure because adventures are full of novelty. You can

Be on a grander mission and still have time to stop and smell the roses. Be like Solaire. Make your life a quest, an adventure. And I just want to say that going on an adventure does not mean you have to go on a trip and spend a lot of money to get away from where you live. Look at Solaire. He finds happiness in the land of Dark Souls right where he is. It’s possible to be on an adventure in your own mind. It

Doesn’t matter where you are because wherever you go, there you are. Solaire is the first person in the game you can summon to help you fight a boss. And that’s important because Dark Souls can be a very lonely game. Most of the time you’re wandering through these ruined kingdoms all by yourself. But every now and then you see a summon sign on the ground and suddenly you’re not alone anymore. You and another adventurer are fighting side by side. Nothing about the

Boss or the circumstances or the situation changed, but somehow the experience became more fun having Solaire with you. And that’s because some of the best parts of life are not the things we do, they’re the people we do them with. A walk by yourself outside can be nice, but a walk with a friend can become like a core memory. A workout by yourself can be productive, but a workout with a friend can become something you really look forward to.

It’s not even a workout anymore. It’s just about having fun with your bro. I remember the last time I went for a workout with my friends. We were doing the bench press and for some reason the same weight that I always do felt way lighter and like I could do way more reps. Because for me, I wasn’t even doing a workout. It was more about just spending time with my friends and laughing with them. My focus was not to

Get a good workout, but then somehow it turned out that that was actually one of the best workouts I’ve had in a while. Even though I was being extra unserious that day. Friends make even the most serious things feel like fun and can make the most boring things somehow hilarious. Like when you’re sitting in class and the teacher is super angry with everyone, but if you look at your friend, then you know you’re going to laugh, so you low-key have to not look

At him. I think a lot of us accidentally make life harder than it needs to be because we try to do everything alone. We chase our goals alone. We work alone. We stay inside alone. And then we wonder why life feels so dull. But Solaire understands something that most people forget. Your quest is your own, but that doesn’t mean you have to walk it alone. So go call a friend or make a new one. Talk to people. And if you

Don’t have any friends, then try to make some. I even have a free community where people are making friends with each other and talking about Souls games. If that sounds interesting to you, there’ll be a link in the description for that. Totally free to join. Just check it out if it sounds interesting and you want to make some friends. Engage in a little jolly cooperation. It makes the journey a lot more fun. Whenever I spend time

With friends in real life, I don’t think afterwards, “Oh man, I really wish I could have stayed home and just scrolled instead.” Spending time with friends or even just new people in a friendly way is always a good way to have fun and spend time away from your usual scrolling. As long as it’s good company you’re spending your time with. One thing I love about Solaire is that he doesn’t take everything so seriously. Of course, we know he’s on his mission to

Find his son, and it is important to him, but he doesn’t approach his goal or life with this super rigid, anxious mindset where everything has to be perfect all the time, exactly as he wants it. He talks in a funny way. He strikes a ridiculous pose. He gets excited about sunlight. He’s kind of a goofball, and I think that’s exactly why people love him. When I think of Solaire, I’m reminded of this guy on YouTube named Elijah Long. Elijah has

This idea called maxing, where instead of thinking so much about what you’re doing or how you’ll be perceived or if it’ll work out or anything like that, you just do it without even thinking about any of that. A lot of us accidentally suck the fun out of our own lives because we treat everything like a business meeting. Every hobby has to become a side hustle. Every workout has to be optimal. Every conversation has to have a purpose. But, Solaire reminds us that

Things can just be fun. Solaire might honestly be the biggest maxer in all of Dark Souls. The world is ending. Everyone is going hollow. Demons are trying to kill him, and he’s just standing there admiring the sunlight. He’s not thinking too much about anything. Both Solaire and Elijah teach us that we don’t have to calculate every experience before we even experience it. You can just do something because it looks cool. You can go somewhere because it looks

Interesting. Talk to anyone you want to. You can do things just because they’re funny or they’re memorable or because they’re going to make a good story. Everything you do doesn’t have to be for the sake of productivity. Life gets a lot more colorful when you stop trying to win every moment and just start actually enjoying them. Sometimes, the most fun memories come from doing something completely unnecessary. Something that made absolutely no sense. Something that wasn’t productive at all.

Sometimes, you just have to praise the sun. That’s when life can feel the most special, I think. When something unexpected happens, a happy accident. When you just have humor and don’t take everything so seriously, that’s when days feel so fun and special that you don’t even care or remember about scrolling because you’re just so preoccupied by the fun random thing that you’re already doing. Some stupid thing that you’re laughing at that no one else finds funny. The happiest people I’ve

Met are never the ones who overthink everything or are always trying to make things go exactly as they want it. The happiest people are the ones who know how to laugh even when there really isn’t anything to be laughing about. They’re the people who know how to stay curious even when they’ve lived in the exact same place all their lives. The people who know how to enjoy the journey even when things aren’t perfect. I think this is why Solaire stands out

So much in Dark Souls because somehow, in one of the darkest and most depressing worlds ever created, he never forgets how to enjoy the adventure. He has a quest, he shares it with others, and he never takes it so seriously that he forgets to have fun along the way. For the longest time, I thought the solution to my endless scrolling was more discipline, more self-control, more productivity. But now I can see that that’s not actually what I needed. I

Needed a life that was more fun than my phone, a life filled with little adventures, good people, and enough curiosity to take a different path every once in a while just to see where it leads. Because at the end of the day, scrolling is just watching somebody else’s adventures, and life becomes a whole lot more interesting when you start living your own adventure. So, find your own sun, go on an adventure, engage in a little jolly

Cooperation, and every now and then, don’t forget to praise the sun. That’s all I have to say for today, guys. If you like Dark Souls and self-improvement, I have a new free community that you can join. It’s just going to be the link in the description. I also have a new course that’s called how to genuinely fix your life but explained with Dark Souls. So, if that sounds interesting to you, there’ll be a second link in the description for

That, too. No pressure, but just check them out if you think they’re interesting, all right? You take care, guys. Don’t you dare go hollow. >>
