Day: #02 || Alphabet : B || Theme: Emotions || Word: Boredom
Huh so is the excitement still on for the #AtoZChallenge – definitely Yes!!! 🙂 So why not talk about the second common emotion which human beings feel BOREDOM. Yeah you heard it!! This might come out as a surprise but as per psychological studies humans get bored in their average life more than feeling any other emotion.
What exactly is the definition of Boredom? (definitions from Google)
I get bored easily. I relate my boredom to my syndrome Periodic Attraction about which i had mentioned in an earlier post.
Boredom is actually just a state of mind. It’s all in our head. It’s not reality but just a pattern. We get bored with people, we get bored with our job, we get bored with our lifestyle at some point of time and we also get bored with Life . But what we never do is to try to solve Boredom. We just keep telling to ourselves that we are bored and bored and bored till being bored also becomes boring. 😛 😛 😛
But everything has a positive side to it. Boredom – It’s God’s way of telling you that you’re simply wasting time. There could be so many things we could do when we get bored all we need to do is realize. There is a huge difference between being bored and being lazy. Being bored is only related to the feeling triggered in one’s head.
WHEN BOREDOM STRIKES, CREATIVITY SHOULD TAKE OVER ITS PLACE. Don’t you think so? And there are so many things we can do.
We never think of all the good things we can do. We simply prefer sitting and being a couch potato and do nothing. And then we realize how much time we have wasted. I regret not starting to blog very early, there have been days when i was just sitting and doing nothing productive in life. And i didn’t even like what i was doing then. Better late than never, i now blog cause i enjoy it.
People get bored with the kind of work they do, and it leads to lack of interest in work, giving from 100% to bare minimum. If you get bored quit- take up something more interesting which would make you happy doing it every single day.
Sometimes we get bored with the people around us, that doesn’t mean am telling you to distance yourself from them. Instead find out what is the reason. Maybe there is something that you guys don’t like or which you don’t agree doing together. The ultimate solution to boredom is not sit and crib about the problem but to find a solution to kill the problem which is being BORED!
Don’t waste time, do something new. Ask yourself when was the last time you did something new and if you are taking a lot of time to get the answer you better get your ass up and do something about it. Work is your daily bread you have to do it(sometimes you like doing it or not). Relationships are important (we are social animals). Being happy ? Being productive in life? Being able to do something for your own self? All this is if you take control of your mind and heart and realize the importance of time which passes by.

and to make the smiley more interesting i got a human expression too
So if you are not bored reading this boring post of mine please do come back tomorrow cause its gonna be exciting 😛
Beautiful idea… when you are bored, let creativity take over. I usually do that only. Or I turn to a book.

yeah.. i think we just keep telling we are bored and bored and bored and just waste time. There is so much out there to do and learn. Only if we realized how important time is. Well reading would be the last thing that i do. i prefer reading only while travelling.

“Boredom – It’s God’s way of telling you that you’re simply wasting time.” I’ve never thought of this, but it is so true. A creative person can recognize the waste, and move on to producing something.

Great post! I always have so many projects going there is always something to keep from boredom. These are great ideas to suggest to others though. Whenever my kids said they were bored I always had a chore that they could do and almost immediately they would think of something not so boring to do.

I’m not bored, but I am quite burned out on some things. Blogging is a great place to put my mind elsewhere.
