One way to apply 'time being novel' in daily life is to try new things regularly. For example, take a different route to work. This makes the time of your commute novel as you see new sights and perhaps meet new people.
To apply 'time being novel' in daily life, we can be more present in the moment. Often, we go through the day on autopilot, but if we focus on the now and notice the little details, we can make every moment feel novel. For instance, when having a conversation, really listen to the other person, notice their expressions and the nuances in their voice. This makes the time spent in that conversation a new and enriching experience. Also, exploring new hobbies or interests can add novelty to our time. If we start learning a new language or a new musical instrument, the time we spend on these activities becomes unique and novel, as we are constantly learning and experiencing new things.
One way is to be more aware of the choices we make. In a game, our choices determine the outcome. Similarly, in life, the choices we make contribute to our life story. So, make choices that will add positive chapters to your story. Also, don't be afraid of 'losing' in small things because in a game, we often learn from our losses and come back stronger. For instance, if you don't get a promotion you wanted, see it as a chance to improve and aim for a better outcome next time, just like you would in a game if you failed a level.
One way to apply 'novel and novel' is in our relationships. Instead of doing the same old things with friends or family, we can come up with novel activities. And then, when we do those activities, we can introduce novel elements into them. For instance, if we usually have a picnic, we can make it novel by having it at a very unusual location and then add novel food items that we haven't tried before.
One way is to be more empathetic. When we show understanding and compassion to others, we are more likely to receive the same. For instance, if a friend is going through a tough time and we offer support, later when we need help, they might be there for us. Also, in our work, if we are honest and put in effort, it can come back as recognition or opportunities. This concept encourages us to be aware of how our actions today can create an 'echo' of positive or negative experiences in the future.
We can be more punctual. Since time doesn't wait, we should respect the time of others and our own. For example, always be on time for meetings and appointments.
We can look for signs of God's presence in the events that happen to us each day, seeing our own lives as a story where God is involved.
In daily life, we should always tell the truth when dealing with others. For example, when giving feedback or sharing experiences, not making things up. Also, when we make a promise, we should keep it, because truth in our actions is as important as truth in our words.
First, identify the big rocks in your day, like important meetings or exercise for health. Then, schedule them as the first things to do. After that, you can fit in the smaller tasks like answering emails or making small purchases. It's all about putting the main priorities first just as the story suggests.
To apply this concept in daily study, we need to be patient with our progress. Learning is a slow and steady process. If you're studying math, for example, you might not understand a complex formula immediately. But keep working at it, try different examples, and gradually you'll get it. Also, don't compare your progress to others. Everyone has their own pace of learning. Instead, focus on your own improvement. Additionally, use a variety of study methods. For instance, if you're studying history, you can read books, watch documentaries, and visit museums related to the topic. This comprehensive approach helps you gain a deeper understanding and is a long - term way to succeed in your studies.
By not giving up easily. For instance, if you face rejection in a relationship, remember it's not the end of your story. You can work on yourself, become a better person, and find someone more suitable in the future.
We can apply it by always seeking the truth. For example, when we hear a rumor, we look for facts to confirm or deny it.
