Boredom can be tricky

Good day and happy weekend, amazing people of hive block chain, welcome back to my blog. It is another edition in the #hivelearners community, and I am so delighted to participate in this week's prompt topic: an idle mind.

If there is something I hate is being idle, there is this saying that an idle man is a devil. When I'm idle, a lot of negative thoughts run through my mind, which is not good for me. For someone like me, I always need to be active because whenever I'm idle, I keep remembering my late dad, and it may end up ruining my day. That is why I try my possible best to avoid idleness.

Keeping your mind idle can cause a lot of harm because the majority of the thoughts that come when you are idle are negative, though that is why we need to keep ourselves busy. Most things, when I notice that I am getting bored, I try my possible best to get myself busy. Whenever I start thinking outside the box, I know that boredom is coming. The next thing I will do is try my possible best to get rid of it. For someone like me who is always active, I don’t like staying idle.

But as a human, it is expected that once in a while we get bored. How do you come out of each situation? What measures do you take to kill boredom? We all have that particular thing that helps us to kill boredom.

Measures I take to kill boredom.

As times when I am bored, I engage myself so that negative thoughts will not run through my mind. I do things to get rid of boredom.

Playing of games: I thank God for the people that create games; if not, boredom could have killed. With games, bye-bye to being bored. I can never be bored when I have a game with me. Most of the games I play are ones that will make me stress my brain a little, such as chess and world puzzles. With this game, I can be active without being bored because I have something that is keeping me company.

Music: like I will always say, music is life whenever I am bored. Music is one of the things that always keeps me active; it helps me get rid of boredom listening to the cool melody coming out of the songs and shaking my body helps me kill boredom.

Cooking: cooking is another thing I enjoy doing whenever I am bored. I enjoy cooking a lot whenever I am bored. I try new recipes; this has been helping me to kill boredom.

Spending time with friends: I can never be bored when I am with my friends. I have the most amazing friends. When we are together, there are a whole lot of activities to keep us company. We will gist, crack some jokes, and share amazing moments together.

It is important that we always keep ourselves busy. Remember this popular saying that an idle mind is a devil's workshop?
