TRYING TO GET RID OF BOREDOM

There are no uninteresting things, only uninterested people." By G.K. Chesterton

We most times find so many things around us not interesting and that's one major reason why we get bored. Boredom is a gift that comes with not having interest in something or someone. As a person, whenever you are interested in something, no matter how weird or boring it might seem to others, you would always feel okay and happy doing that particular thing and that's why I agree with that quote by Chesterton where he tried to let us know that our boredom is something that comes from within us and not without.

When things are going fine with a person, they always tend to feel entertained with so many things but when the opposite becomes the case, it is hard to find interest in so many things. This goes to show that depending on our circumstances, our mood is bound to undergo changes and it can either cause us to find something or someone interesting or boring. When it causes us to feel bored, the question will be how can we then overcome that boredom?

Well, I can't speak for everyone but then one thing that we all try to do at that point of boredom is finding something that interests us. So for myself, there are several things that I try out when I suspect that I'm bored and a few of them have worked all the time and I'd be sharing it with you today and maybe you can also give it a try to see if it can also be helpful to you but then just remember that you have to decide it for yourself.

As a person, I always find myself busy most of the time so it's hard to get bored but when I do, one thing I try doing is getting back to work! Yes, I enjoy it when I have something doing because that takes me far away from boredom. I've come to realize that I'm always bored when I don't have anything doing or when I have so much to do and I'm not doing any of them. Just the fact that I know I have so many things to do and I'm not doing any of them gets me bored and even frustrated so at that point the best thing for ne to do is GET TO WORK!

Then there are some cases when I still get bored even when I'm working and that is due to the fact that the things that are keeping me busy are kind of on a replay. It feels like I'm doing one thing all over and that can be really boring. At this point, I try to take some time out to think of what next steps to take and during this time, I mostly take some nap to relax my brain and body to keep them together. Whenever I wake up, I always feel refreshed and recharged to think better, act better and also get creative and that drives away boredom.

Sometimes after getting just the much rest that I needed, I'd like to also refresh my spirit by playing some good music that will speak to my soul. Music is life and listening to a good music at that point when I'm feeling recharged does the magic of motivating me to think and work better. I do listen to so many genre of music but I listen to more of pop songs and gospel songs and they do the magic most of the time.

The last way I overcome my boredom is by talking with people. Whenever I'm with people I hardly gets bored because I won't even been given a chance to get bored. So the major reason I get bored is due to the fact that there is no one around to talk to and that is when I try to apply the others to get myself out of boredom and it works most of the time for me.

So what about you, how do you overcome your boredom? You can either share the link to your post so I can read it or you can just share it with me at the comment section. Until next time, stay AWESOME and JIGGY!!
