boredom.
-Thomas Carlyle
Despite our best efforts to live a pretty active life and even with
the height of modern forms of entertainment, there comes a
point when we just can’t help but feel bored. You know that
feeling you get when you can’t seem to concentrate on what
you’re doing and you can’t find anything else to do that picks
your interests, that’s boredom. Boredom is inevitable, so whether
you like it or not, you’re going to experience this unpleasant
state every once in awhile. And what’s more, it can be a
very dangerous condition for you because a bored mind usually
wanders on crazy ideas, right And we all know that crazy ideas
don’t always do us good. So, I’ve geared up all summer to help
you break out of this rut. Just read these simple steps below and
fighting boredom will surely come easy.

BOREDOM

STEP 1: Dig out the root cause.
There are a million possible reasons why you’re feeling bored. Figure them out! If you can’t concentrate on
what you’re doing, find out what’s bothering you. Boredom may seem like a simple dilemma but it’s actually a
very complicated thing. Know whether you’re boredom is caused by an emotional, spiritual, physical or social
issue, or if it’s depression, frustration, rejection, etc. Find out what’s causing boredom to attack, so that you’ll
know how to counteract it.
STEP 2: Get your blood flowing.
Physiologically speaking, when blood is not pumping well, you’ll have weak production of adrenaline and endorphins.
Without these juices, you’ll feel lifeless and bored. So get them flowing by doing something physical.
Stroll off, hit the gym, or play some sports like badminton, basketball or volleyball. Do these activities and
you’ll not only kill boredom. You’ll get to burn some calories as well.
