What would your ideal/perfect day look like?

Post Reply New Topic

Dear all,

I hope to start this topic, hoping to glean some insight on what makes us happy/Content/motivated...
I have read through many issues and troubles we face in our little corner of society, but am hoping to also get a better feel for our common positives. As I do not often get to be in a quite so diverse company of peers as here on the forum, perhaps this could yield some insights...

I propose following format (feel free to not follow it )
Format:

1. help by indicating briefly your place in the spectrum:

-> For me, this would be: I'm a late (45Yo) diagnosed high masking, type 1, ASD peer of 50years old now, with no ADHD diagnosis. Dad of 3 young adults and working a specialist ICT-job.

2. After having an ideal, perfect day (whatever this entails for you), what is the dominating feeling/retrospect you would like to be left with?

-> for me, this would be a feeling of accomplishment. Yes, I'm a buy-in to meritocracy; as I have the most fond and warm memories of days or events where I was able to contribute in someway to a successful result that actually helped or boosted someone(s)

3. Feel free to fantasize, from disc-world, to strict reality, to ... What would your ideal/perfect day look like?

-> For me;
-It would start with a non alarm clock/natural awakening alone in bed.
-A big breakfast (or brunch ) together with my children, I have no stress or mask when being around them,
and I love hearing their view and experiences.
-Followed by in dip in the heated pool (I don't have) and drying off in the warm sun on a sunny day in the shade of
a willow tree in our garden.
-Next, together we start to tackle a big but non time-bound project (what comes to mind immediately is a new
part of the garden we wish fence of for our pet donkey (an inheritance from a farmer uncle))
-Followed again by a dip in the pool to refresh us.
-And a very lazy LAN party, where we all get to propose a game and all get played in sequence.
-After the last game of the night, a solo night walk by a shore (sea, river, lake ocean, whatever...)
-Fresh clean bedsheets to fall asleep in.

curious to see your feedback

have fun

My perfect day would be my second inauguration day as the first Libertarian President of the United States but dont worry that obviously will never happen.

Than you maestro TexasMoneyMan,

I like the far reaching dreams and would like to indicate that for me; there’s a difference between having a dream and losing yourself in fantasy. A healthy dream is a vision that inspires real-world action and improvement, not an escape from reality.

When you use your dreams as motivation to take steps—however small—toward a better life, you’re harnessing hope productively.Losing yourself in dreams without action is unhelpful, but the act of dreaming itself is not the problem; as with most complex topics, it’s how you relate to those dreams that matters.

I'm not sure.

Only that I'm living the best days I know so far at the moment.

And if I wanted more...

... That would be me earning more than enough to survive on my own.

Doesn't matter what job.

-Wake up on time, actually feel refreshed and no rushing through a schedule.
-Actually use said time to prep food, clean ups and dress up.
-Work without a single mistake.
-Don't get tired and have more than enough energy to do something else.
-Not spend on anything, indulges is unneeded since there's no crap to deal or to bury.
-Do whatever and spend said time and energy for enjoyment, projects, self improvement or upskilling and further self care instead of only "winding down" for several hours.
-That my free time is actually my free time, not work, not 'impulshit' time, not 'reeling off' time, not even stupid unnecessary "maintenance" times that my body or head had been whining over and over.
-Actually sleep, lay down on any bed without any damnable congestion, hyperacidity or some stupid disruptor.

I just want to potter about in a quiet cottage or bungalow that's surrounded by garden and no neighbours, and be rich enough to not have to go to work. Or, to earn money, just sit and do my arts and crafts every day or write books. This lifestyle is so wonderful and I panic that I'll never get to have it. Instead I just have to soldier on in cleaning jobs where I have to remember to follow stupid petty rules and work fully-clothed in 30 Celsius temperatures and have to put up with bullies who look down on me because I'm only good for cleaning and not earning a fantastic wage like they are.
