Repeating meaningless activities over time can begin to erode your mental balance.  Continuing with a major aspect of your life that you find meaningless, such as a job or a situation in your home, can have devastating long term effects, such as illness, accidents, and a decline in mental health.<\/p>\n<p>Breathe meaning into your daily life.  Add meaning to what has felt totally meaningless.  Sending a smile to someone, saying a prayer, listening to music that moves you, saying a heartfelt thank you, treating yourself to something that lights you up &#8230;. all these can begin to incorporate meaning in small subtle ways.
