if one chooses to be hopeful or spiritual, a temporary "what if"-"i have no clue, i'm lost" scenario, placed in your path with the purpose of making you consider things in a different light, for your own ultimate good, and, eventually, value the prospect of living forever more, among other benefits, without feeling bored, because life just keeps going...and going...and going...on, and on, and on...forever.

don't ask me where these are from (part of some obscure theological theory somewhere), but here they are, the 4 pillars of existence, order matters:
1. love (for something)
2. absolute ethicality
3. growth
4. logic
Now, what can you do with these? Bring them up in casual conversation...and...what?

guru: these are the axioms of existence, my pupil.
pupil: um, ok, thanks! (ponders) aww, it looks like at the centre of the universe there's love!
guru: ...for something. don't get carried away romanticising. on average, there is love for life management. and, in opposition, at an overwhelming, massive proportion, there is love for experience, not for love as an experience. but yes, you seem to fall into the latter. cute.

something that can seem boring and uncomfortable, but just try it for more than 30 min, daily, to get back your investment, plus interest.
you don't need to sit in an uncomfortable position, but also don't fall asleep immediately because you finally stopped looking at a laptop or phone screen for 5 minutes and your brain feels utterly grateful and relieved.
useful to pick a goal to keep you engaged. even though they are not really-really a thing, as described on the internet, like a lot of other things, really, a lot of people feel very motivated to finally feel some chakra. why not pick this?
why not try meditation to feel some interesting things? ...eventually

Doug: your entire body can basically be seen as a lot of chakras, kinda. if you are very pragmatic, think about the fact that you have nerve endings everywhere, works! if you get very spiritual with this, you can also say you are not just your body, so more chakras to focus on. try meditation.

natural animal asset, ideally placed, by Nature Itself, on the actual animal, in perpetuity.
something you no longer need in the modern world, with all these breathtaking technological advancements and successfully applied research in the field of better-for-you, more ethical, more sustainable materials.
opportunity to evolve beyond being a selfish traditionalist.

person A: no! my favourite brands are still producing leather goods inscribed with Gucci/D&G/LV/...
person B: no! there is nothing more luxurious than a leather couch or car seat.
person C: no! that black leather jacket makes me feel trendy/cool/younger than i actually am, the feeling needs to be real.

something you definitely need, regardless of how old you are, and untouchable you feel right now (me, at 18), to make sure you will always age gracefully (aka. for sure less wrinkles and sunspots). use A LOT! pick the highest SPF you can find, and reapply regularly, the sun has no mercy! and keep in mind that, broadly speaking, right now, that SPF pretty much refers to how often you need to reapply. understand the difference between a chemical sunscreen and a mineral one, read some reviews and pick the type you are most comfortable with. and yes, one will make you look a bit more white when it has a higher SPF, but it's healthier.
a tan is a skin burn, so it's damaged skin. embrace your natural, initial, skin colour, and don't blindly follow current beauty trends. think about your future look.
stick to the shadows, if you're seeing natural light around, this means the sun hits you in some way already, don't worry so much about your vitamin D, that's not how you optimise heath for your bones (but do go and check to see if you have a vitamin D deficiency, it might be genetic, and you might need supplements, you might need to take some vitamin D3).
don't go to the beach to get a tan, go for the view, the salty air, the vast open space for swimming, or just the pleasure of hanging around in water, if that's more your style.

Doug: i see light outside, the sun is there, somewhere. where's my 50+ SPF mineral sunscreen? this London weather is not kind on my skin. where are more clouds? damn you, global warming, damn you!

although mostly described on the internet as something taking massive, complex proportions, this is pretty much every moment when you choose to not focus on your actual life, and instead pick to escape to some other version of events.
also known as counterproductive daydreaming.
can you make a choice (most often a series of choices) that can change your circumstances in some way? if the answer is "definitely no, i am stuck here, for real, with no escape whatsoever, seriously", then think about working with yourself to improve some other aspect of your life instead. it will not be in vain.
an action plan that you actually plan on taking action on, but you think about a lot, will not fall under this category...unless you are a coward, and keep delaying taking action. that's maladaptive.
some consider this type of daydreaming/fantasising as manifestation, or, worse, as meditation. that is why they are, most likely, behind on their goals...or they just have unethical goals and the universe said: "denied!".

Doug's brain: it's summer. it's too hot. i'm uncomfortable. i am seeing myself engulfed in snow..making snow angels..skiing..making more snow angels (loop on last image)
some God: i'm thinking hard right now where to place this. might be maladaptive daydreaming, it's a bit of a gray area. the snow angels are a nice touch though, thanks!

mathematical algorithm that that creature that you hate, the annoying fly, uses as a flying pattern. unbelievable!
seems like a useful evasive manoeuvre.
