I vaguely remember a time when I used to get exited about new games, the latest Android phone or some cool gadget or some accessible, open source technology, but I think those days are now, unfortunately in the past.
Since I've been forcefullly made unemployed through redundancy, I've had more time to reflect on a lot of things. One of which is the innability or reluctance to get excited about something.
Why? Because work opportunities are not working out and life keeps thowing curve-balls causing too much dissapointment to get emotionally invested.
That means that I'm falling back to logic and reason for most things in life, trying to expect the worst, but hope for the best, which while it may make me less humanised in a society which is meant to embrace happiness and joy and possitivity in the fight for mental health.
So, in order to maintain expectations and avoid depression and anxiety, it appears as though emotional inteligence is the solution (at least for me).
