Good morning friends. Are you bored? You should not. Life is so good if you have just imagine, how life can be good to us.
I’m bored. We’ve said it so often and we’ve heard it being said. Why do we get bored? What is the solution to boredom?
Boredom is a state of mind. In that state, nothing appeals to us, nothing excites us, and nothing interests us. Boredom is not something that hits us from the outside; it’s nothing external. It is not like day and night or like the seasons that are inevitable. Boredom is in the mind, though it might be related to the presence or absence of people, events or material elements that are outside the person.
Most often, people get bored when they are weighed down by tasks that they don’t like, or don’t want to do. If that’s the case, one way of avoiding boredom is to learn to say no whenever possible. For example, if you have to go shopping or attend a wedding that you know will bore you with family members or friends, you have the choice to say `no. Sometimes, you may have no choice, and will have to tag along, or will have to suffer the company of people whom you may not like. In such cases, one has no choice, but to grin and bear it, although you still have the option of engaging in some form of thinking, daydreaming, introspection or analysis, which can go on inside your head, even as you are physically present at that place.
The most common reason for boredom is when one does not have anything worthwhile to do. Take up a hobby, call up old friends or relatives, start writing a journal, learn a new art like drawing, painting or music, remember all the things you wanted to do, but could not do due to a genuine lack of time.
