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 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.
One way is in cooking. First, you learn the traditional recipes, and then you can be novel by adding your own unique ingredients or cooking methods.
We can start by not expecting every relationship to be like a fairytale. For example, in dating, don't assume that every date will lead to a perfect, long - lasting love. Be more realistic about the potential flaws and challenges.
We can start by seeing every day as a new page in our 'life novel'. Try to make each day interesting and meaningful, like adding an exciting plot twist to a story.
We can view our daily experiences as chapters in a novel. Each day or period can be a new chapter with its own events and learnings. Just as we might look for the main idea in a chapter of a novel, we can look for the significance in our daily happenings.
In our careers, we can't assume that there will be a clear path to success like in an Agatha Christie mystery. We might face setbacks that don't have an obvious cause or solution. So, we need to be adaptable and keep trying different things instead of waiting for a 'clue' to fall into our laps. Also, when dealing with people, not everyone has a clear motive like the characters in her novels. We have to be more patient and not jump to conclusions about others' actions.
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.
To apply the idea of 'life between life stories' in our daily lives, we need to change our perspective. Consider the time between waking up and starting work. Instead of rushing through it, we can make it a time for self - care like having a proper breakfast, doing some light exercise, or just sitting quietly and preparing mentally for the day. By doing so, we are acknowledging that these in - between times are not just filler but an important part of our overall well - being and life experience.
By simply being aware of them. For instance, if you know the story of someone who overcame great odds through hard work, you can be motivated to work hard in your job or studies.
To apply life lessons from stories, first, we need to identify the key lesson. For instance, in a story about hard work and determination, we can set goals in our daily life and work towards them with the same tenacity as the characters in the story. We also need to be open - minded. If a story teaches us about different cultures or perspectives, we can use that knowledge to be more inclusive in our interactions. For example, if a story is set in a foreign land, we can learn to respect and understand the differences we might encounter in our own multicultural environment.
