If it's boring and mundane I just don't do it. Is that familiar to you at all?
Definitely agree with this and as BBF says I'm also trying to explore new avenues - our lives have been spent on an artificial high for so long it does seem difficult too change and accept what we have always considered a more mundane lifestyle, something that does need a lot of work on for me too.
