3 Things YOU do that kill the Romance of Life | Nate Punzalan
If you’re into personality types, I’m an Enneagram Seven. That basically means that I enjoy freedom, and exploration, and going out on adventures. I know there are a lot of people who also do, but the more that I’m locked down in this pandemic, the more I find myself looking back on my travels. Pauline and I have spent 90% of our married life in this pandemic, and quarantine has been helping me reflect on things that I’m doing more and more just because I’m stuck at home, things that I need to stop doing… Things that are, frankly, destroying the romance of life.
I hope you’re in the mood to be a little dramatic. For me, life gets flat when you don’t surrender to emotion every once in a while.

1. Mindless Consumption
I don’t blame you if for the past hour, you’ve just been scrolling idly through all the content your phone feeds you. That’s what these apps are created to do. But drowning in mindless content is one thing, and being out in the middle of nowhere like this, with the time and space to be alone with your thoughts, is another. There’s something special about going out intentionally, and seeing something or visiting a place or exploring somewhere new. Even better if you get to spend go out intentionally with someone you love. Whether that’s playing music and really getting into a state of flow, or making something you’re passionate about, or reading a book and sticking with it even for just fifteen, twenty minutes, or taking a walk and leaving your phone at home.. I believe we all have the power to free ourselves from the addiction to feeding our minds useless content for instant gratification.
