Groundhog Day.
What if you lived a single day over and over again, where nothing changes except what's in your own head?
At first, I guess - you'll be happy. No consequences would last longer than that one day. You could do anything you wanted; eat, smoke, drink, behave any which way.
Second - boredom. A feeling that no point in anything you do; nothing has any consequences. Nothing to live for.
Third - Depression. Suicide.
Fourth - Acceptance. Trying to make the best of it. Reading, learning stuff. You'll never get old, but you'll never get better either.
Fifth - apathy. Catatonia. Insanity.
But the real shocker would be - when tomorrow finally came. Would you be able to adjust? I think you'll go into a rigid panic. Everything would be frighteningly unexpected. You might not have the strength to cope. And you'll probably die soon, secure in the belief of your own immortality. The entire process of learning to live with the consequences of your actions would have to be re-done. Phil got off easy.
