Weekly engagement:: How I manage boredom
Where you here the word boredom what comes to your mind ?
A time you get fade up of life, a time you just want to be left alone, a time when tears keeps rolling and never wants to stop, and so on.
Individual react differently when they are bored and so do they have different ways to spice up themselves, let me talk about myself, what makes me bored, and how i cheer myself up.
What makes me 🥱 bored.
Sometimes honestly i get tired of living and i wish to die and leave this world especially when i remember all life has put me through, i have just been struggling to survive all my life no time have i ever been fortunate to relax and enjoy life rather it has all been disappointment here and there, it looks like am not trying my best, it seems like am a total different person from other humans it looks like i don't deserve any good moment in life, its a whole lot.
I always ask why me, because a whole lot has hit me.
Recently i quit my job because the job became so bored, i wasn't finding joy again, my boss was making life difficult for me by demanding a whole lot from me making it difficult for me to find out time to rest it was just work work work work.
The most painful 😣 side of the whole thing was that the salary wasn't enough to take care of important things like my bills and health, so I quit and at least i became emotionally better.
Boredom most times makes me to keep thinking of my past mistake which i know i can't correct instead of focusing on how to be a better person henceforth and this affects my daily activities.
Am also bored when i don't have enough money to solve my problems
How I manage boredom.
Honestly its not easy to manage some form of boredom but also its very important to understand that overly bored can lead to some mistakes and rash decision so its better to find something that will cheer you up and move on.
- Music and dancing.
Yes whenever am bored i engage in listening to some secularism music and dancing, i will be dancing and be viewing Myself in a mirror then i will encourage myself with the fact that am a beautiful creature so someone beautiful like me should not be bored for anything because everything will be alright and been bored can make me look ugly which i won't be comfortable with.
Music and dancing distracts my attention and left my mood.
Dancing makes me happy
- Reading.
Yes reading is also another thing i do when am bored, and i read things that will uplift my spirit, i read some part of the scriptures that gives me hope for a better future, i also read our publications where i get experiences of people who have been facing different challenges and how they were able to cope.
- Relaxing.
Yes relaxation is another way i manage boredom, i might chose a restaurant where they sell something good that might not be expensive, i will step out and have some time away from home this will also distract me and i will fell much better.
Conclusively managing or dealing with boredom is not always easy but when you find out what makes you happy then the battle will be easier.
Thank you all
Life with always throw things at us, we just have to make good use of whatever it throws at us.
I love sleeping a lot because that's the easiest way for me to overcome boredom. I do listen to music too and I as well enjoy moving my body.
life will not be complete without ups and down, even this moment am enjoying my music
You took a bold step resigning even when you are yet to get another job. Not so many peoe can do this. Your mental and emotional health was more important to you and I am glad you took cognizance of that and resigned.
Music can definitely help with boredom but how does reading do this?
Glad to see how you manage to overcome boredom and what you have been going through, I can see from your story you live dancing because that's the last thing I can think of when bored but I'll go with the music part...I love listening to secular music too
