In this society where you have to always be happy and active, getting bored is frowned upon. Doing nothing is one of life’s great pleasures and is losing prominence to activity or hyperactivity. Boredom is positive, as long as it is not about being fed up with your own life. Do you want to know what to do when you get bored? We have some ideas but first ask yourself why you are bored.
What to do if you are bored with your life
- When we talk about positive boredom, we are not referring to that situation in which you feel bored with your own life. That is not boredom as such, it is a vital moment that you must learn to manage as soon as possible so as not to fall into apathy or depression. Why are you bored with your life?
- Your life is not how you imagined it, much less is it like in the movies. You most likely do not live in New York where interesting things always happen to the stars of your favorite series. every day. And your “every day” is always the same, go to work, do the shopping, clean the house and some day of leisure with your friends. What a bore! Every day always the same.
- Our proposal is that you skip the rules, that for one day you break the routine and do something for the first time. The first time you do something, it can be going to the movies alone, dye yourself purple, make a cake or jump with a parachute, you recover the illusion and the desire to live. So reserve space in your schedule to do something for the first time at least once a week.
- But vital boredom can also be a warning that you should pay attention to. You may need a change, it may not help you wake up from your lethargy and begin to appreciate the good things that surround you, you may have to break with everything and start from scratch. You have no guarantee that it will turn out well, but the boredom will disappear for sure.
