BOREDOM Equals Trouble

According to psychologists, boredom is an emotional state that is unpleasant, transient affective state in which the individual feels a pervasive lack of interest in and difficulty concentrating on the current activity.

Boredom does not exist because one is unable to keep himself busy. It may also exist even with the busiest person. Boredom is not the absence of activity but the despondency even in the presence of activities. It exists because one may find himself unhappy on the things he does or not. A person is jaded because he is dejected on what’s going on with his life. He find himself unchallenged and unmotivated. Eventually, he tends to be lax then becomes unproductive. Hence, boredom may cause a great deal of malady. Problems may rise because of it. It may effect low self-esteem or lead a person to great depression.

So, how do you fight boredom? Here are four things that may help you:

Be with friends. Don’t let yourself be too much occupied with work. Or don’t dwell being alone at home all the time. Gurl, you need to go out and be with your friends. Friends can help lighten up your load.

Change environment. Home to office or office to home, these are your daily pattern. It became monotonous to you. Once in a while, you need to break the cycle. Go out of town and have picnic with your friends or family. Don’t go to malls anymore since you would be also confined in an establishment with concrete walls just like in your office or house. Go to a place where ambiance is far different from where you work or live.

Pamper yourself. Work, work and work! That’s all you always do, be it in the office meeting deadlines or doing household chores. And you’re doing this for your family. But gurl, you need to take care of yourself too. Take a leave once or twice every quarter and rejuvenate yourself. You should have a pamper day for yourself. Go to your nearest SPA saloon and have a relaxing massage. Or you may go to your favorite beauty saloon and have your hair trimmed or have manicure and pedicure.

Meditate. Attend a retreat or recollection, so you can contemplate greatly. Meditation helps you relax and uplift your positive spirit.

Always live positively though things may come to you negatively.
