If you're not happy with what you're doing or what you have, make at least a rough plan on the steps how you will change it so that you'll like your life more in the future.

By doing so you realize that there is a way out of the missery and it gets easier to get out of it.

You could start with a list of things you don't want and then you figure out how to avoid them.
