Tips / / December 19, 2019
Boredom - a very unpleasant state of mind. It can ruin everything from a bad day out, ending business negotiations.
What to do if you're bored? Ate boredom overcomes you during repetitive work, which can not be avoided, waiting in line, standing in traffic jams, and so on?
In fact, the struggle with boredom solvable. The first question you need to ask yourself is - I - a boring person?! That is, if you're bored, may be the case is not in external circumstances? We're well aware that everything depends on our perception of the situation with you. If we think it would be boring, that's how it is. The main thing - inner spirit. Although, there are some tips that can be very handy. The main thing to remember about them in time.
1. Meditation. Try to insert the adjective "boring" even the word 'meditation'. For example, you are standing in line at the savings bank, for example, or at the pharmacy. The queue is moving slowly, and the only thing you can do is just wait quietly. The key word here is "calm", because apart from boredom in such lines is usually added even more dangerous condition - irritation. You see, you can not change the speed of the queue, right? So just relax and think about something pleasant. In a pinch, you can reassure yourself that all other moves more slowly.
2. Dig deeper. If you will be quite a tedious job, which is a part of something more interesting, try to dig a little deeper. The same applies to the tedious memorization theme before test or examination. Got you a report about Kant or Hegel, try to find more information to learn more. Retrieved on their own experience (Erich Fromm "To Have or to Be" in 18 years, it seems not so interesting) - if you can not find something interesting, it's addictive and the report seems to be no longer so boring. The same goes for simple tabulation and analysis of the figures during the preparation of the report - if a closer look, they can see the people or the growth of the market for oranges (depending on what you analyze).
3. Occasionally distracted by something more pleasant. Doing routine work, occasionally distracted by viewing the abstract of interesting articles or simply chat with a colleague. Stuck in traffic or waiting for the bus on ostavnovke - view pictures of children or friends in your phone.
4. Watch. Try to look at the people around in the queue, even to the world around you - what facial expressions of people, what they are wearing. Listen to the sounds, open your eyes.
5. Carry something that you can read or listen to. Of course, all of the above and related to waiting in lines, traveling in public transport or waiting at the bus stop, you can cross out, if you have the opportunity to listen to interesting podcasts, audio books, or read from a variety of electronic devices. In this case, you do not just get bored, you're refreshing your knowledge base or get pleasure from reading / listening to art books.
And finally. If your child is driving you crazy with constant questions of "why / why / when" Say to yourself, "he is only three years, it will grow and it will pass." Ten times exactly triggered. And we should remind ourselves that he is right now and all these moments are unique, as indeed do all of life. Nothing is repeated, nothing is impossible to return it in the form in which it was originally. Live every moment of your life, feel it, pour off in memory. You're not a boring person and your life - damn interesting and full of events. Do not worry, and do not worry about trifles. Not dull day!
