This edition comes with another powerful topic that is suitable for the time and season we are in currently.
It's commonly said that an idle man is a devil's workshop. I tend to agree totally with this statement. In this post, I would define what boredom means, the causes and practically how I deal with boredom. When the mind is not properly engaged definitely boredom will certainly set in. Human being can't be stable 24hours instead there's always a transition from one pattern of thought to the other. From my little perception, boredom is normally seen predominantly amongst children and young adult compared to other age categories because it's expected that at an adult stage one would known what to do about life.
what's boredom?
Boredom is a feeling, an emotion of doing nothing despite the potential one carries.
Boredom is a situation where an individual doesn't know what to do. Boredom is when an individual doesn't have direction even though full of energy and potential but no accurate place where to dispense such ability. Often times human being are always confronted with such moment where they need to fill their hearts and minds with practical things that would enable them carry out good function. Boredom begins from the state of the mind. When the mind is idle and lacks idea hmmm boredom would be inevitable. When boredom is not properly managed it could easily lead to an action that could alter affect one's destiny. At one point or the other one would have the tendency to be idle but always think of the way forward and be optimistic to ensure the mind is and body is engaged properly.
what causes boredom?
There could be so many reasons why many get bored because of the peculiarity of our make up however one there could be some common factors. Some of these factors that causes boredom includes;
When one doesn't know the essence of his existence hmmm certainly you would be bored. The ability to know your purpose on earth determined how bored life would be for you. Since I realised my purpose of existence, life has been positive for me because I know what is expected of me to do always.
Competition. When one allows the spirit of competition to overshadow him or her you will come to a pint where you may not believe in the potential that you possess hence you begin to see others better and more productive than you. Gradually low self esteem would set in.
When you don't plan your day, certainly you would have a bored day. It's expedient that one plans his schedule virtually every to avoid doing the wrong thing at the wrong time.
How to deal or cope with boredom
Even though I have attempted to discuss this previously but I would like to highlight some practical measures I have over time deployed to combat boredom. At times within my heart I could just be feeling bored and as if I am tired of life. When such thought starts cropping in, I have to deliberate change the circumference and premise of my thought to something positive by reflecting on what is good.
Sometimes, I play Music at the background or play my audio Bible all through the day. This has really helped to curtail my wondering thought and makes me more focused.
I also ensured that each day I have my planned schedule. I deliberately write it down in order to eliminate clouded tasks that would distract me. The power to overcome boredom lies within you. Cheer up and take a stand today.
