How can we apply the idea that 'life's not an agatha christie novel' in our daily lives?

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.

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 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 being more present in the moment. For instance, when we are having a meal, instead of just thinking about the next task, we savor the taste, the company, and the experience. Also, when we face difficulties, we should see them as part of the journey and opportunities for growth rather than obstacles preventing us from reaching a destination.

We should be more patient. Since life isn't a short story, we can't expect instant results. For example, if we're working towards a fitness goal, we know it won't be achieved overnight just like a short - term plot in a story. Instead, we keep at it day by day.

First, we need to understand that quotes are like mini - life coaches. They are not like stories which we may forget easily. We can write down our favorite quotes and place them where we can see them often, like on our desks or in our wallets. When we are in a difficult situation, for instance, facing a job loss, a quote about new beginnings can give us hope. Also, we can discuss these quotes in groups, analyzing their deeper meanings and how they can be applied in different aspects of life. This is different from discussing stories as quotes are more focused on key life concepts.

We can apply the life lesson of sharing from children's stories. For instance, if we read a story where characters share their toys or food, we can do the same in real life. Just share with friends or family when we have something nice.

One way is to be more conscious of the characters in our story. That means the people around us. We can choose to surround ourselves with positive characters who add value to our story, like friends who support and inspire us. Also, we can work on being a positive character in other people's stories too. This helps in creating a more fulfilling life story for everyone involved.

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.

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.
