Have you experienced boredom in your life? Do you know or want to know what boredom is all about? I think am in the rightful position to answer those questions because i have experienced boredom often in my life. In this article, i will explain to you what boredom is, what leads to my boredom, how i felt that time and, how i handled it. Let's read

Boredom: This is a situation in where someone feels unsatisfied, sad, and losses interest of doing anything. It can also affects ones marriage or relationship. How? When you losses interest in your spouse or friend, at that moment, you will be worried in life and thereby became bored. But what can make one become bored in his relationship? It could be lack of love, attention, respect, care, etc. When it comes for business, when you are not getting what you expected or losses the business or job itself, automatically, boredom takes place.

At first, I became so upset in every little thing. I stopped communicating with poeple because i don't want them to know what's going on with me. Sometimes i hit my child as if she was the cost of my problem. I stopped praying and i concluded that God doesn't love me.

The boredom didn't come on it's own but something led to that which am about to tell you now. From 2019 down to early 2021, i was running a smooth business transactions. I was eating and dressing well. At the thumbnail image, you will notice how thick i am then. In this business, i involved some of my trusted friends. We were all happy running the business together. Middle 2021, we lost the business unexpectedly. We couldn't retrieve our money back from the company.

My friends became so upset and was on my neck. I was so devastated and downhearted. After 3 months, i lost all my body and started from zero level. I wasn't satisfied with the current okirika business that i started because i wasn't making enough money to care for myself and my family. That was when boredom set's in.

First thing i did was to pray for the Almighty God to bless my new business and give me the courage to move on. Secondly, i made social media my second home, reading and watching motivational quotes and videos. I started communicating with my family members. I poored out my heart to some of my trusted friends who encourage me to try other business if the one am doing is not giving me what i needed. I kept myself busy everyday and at the end the boredom left me. So friends, when you feel bored, don't isolate yourself, if you do, you are killing yourself. If possible, hangout with friends, take some drinks and gist. That will go a long way to relief the boredom.
