Bored? Not Anymore!

I am always astonished by the number of people who say that they are bored when asked about what they are doing. Frankly speaking, I don't understand how people can be bored, simply because, there is so much to do nowadays. Why do most people feel bored and depressed at home lately? Is it lack of time being spent outdoors and more indoors? Or is it that people just feel connected online now and not in person? 

The reasons are many but when asked about what they have been doing the answer is always 'nothing much, just bored'. So, I thought it was necessary to address this topic of boredom and let you know about things that can be done so that one utilizes their time well. There are many things that one can do when bored but here are few that I personally believe in. I hope they help you as well. 

First of all, there's music. When bored, you can always turn up the radio, or your phone or your computer or even a music channel on TV. Listening to music since music has the ability to change moods instantly. Various studies have proven that listening to music can increase dopamine in the body, causing us to feel happier. Listening to the right music can also make you feel more productive and focus on undertaking activities instead of sitting around getting bored. Secondly, pick up an activity or hobby that you love. It could be anything, from going on an evening jog, to reading a novel you always wanted to, or cooking a meal, gardening, going to the gym, singing, and so on. Do anything that makes you happy, and who knows this may lead you to discover the things you are good at or have the potential to be good at. 

Me personally, I wish I could borrow time from these people who feel bored and do so much more in life. Let's not forget that we get only one life and it is very important to make the most of it. If not, we're only going to regret not doing the things that we could have actually done. One of the main reasons why most people don't succeed is because they keep talking and do nothing while those who succeed are the one's who believe in results and not excuses. That's what makes a winner.

So to conclude, let me just say this. You won't be bored, if you choose not to be. There's plenty of things to do out there, we only need to be willing to take a step forward. I hope reading this article it helps you replace the word boring by the word amazing. So let's sign off with that. Have an amazing year ahead!
