It’s a typical Saturday afternoon. You were bored so you went out and met your friends. Still, you’re bored…

There are three main reasons why people get bored. People get bored when they are too lazy to jumpstart, too scared to take risks, or too satisfied with their boring situation. If you are attacked by boredom, do not condone it. Many clinically depressed patients started with simple boredom. To deal with boredom, we have to deal with the crux of the problem. The thing is sometimes, we are not aware of the reason why we feel bored or we are aware of it but we deny it.

Why are you bored?

1. You are too lazy to jumpstart. It takes enough maturity and responsibility to take the initiative to wake up. We all have tasks to do, whether we are obliged or not. It’s simple. So, it’s a typical Saturday afternoon and you’re bored. You don’t really have to meet your friends. Just do start ding some tasks like rearranging the furniture, cleaning your room, and other household stuff. Once we started these tasks, the boredom we suffer from will turn upside down. There is only one way to keep yourself busy- start right away without hesitation and have fun!

1. You are too scared to take risks. You feel like if you stop or divert from what you’re accustomed to, there is no better way out. So you are sick and tired of your job for almost three years already. Whether you admit it or not, you are scared to resign lest you might go broke or unemployed afterwards. Don’t be such a chicken trapped in a boring job. Take risks.

1. You are too satisfied with your boring situation. This is self-delusion, a very ironical one. You convince yourself that you are satisfied with the circumstances you are in despite the excruciating boredom you are suffering from.  The truth is you are very dissatisfied. However, you were immersed in a doctrine that dissatisfaction is a sin. You deserve something else so it’s your decisive will to get that.    

So next time that you feel bored, don’t blame the environment or other people. Admit to yourself that you are too lazy to jumpstart, too scared to take risks, or too satisfied with their boring situation and deal with it.
