Hello Everyone in this Amazing community
I hope this post met you all well
Being Bored is Boring, honestly life is too short to be in the state of idleness and boringness.
Not Having anything to do can lead to many bad behaviours. For example a popular quote States that "An idle man is the devils workshop" this means that,if you don't find something doing, the devil find you to use, the devil here simply means that bad thought and acts will fill your mind, if you are not busy doing something productive.
What is the Meaning of Boredom?
Boredom: can be defined as a state or a feeling of lack of interest and engagement. It can be likened to a state of tiredness and emotional and mental dullness.
Sometimes when you don't have enthusiasm or excitement to do anything then you are bored.
Let's check out some examples of being bore or boredom;
Being or feeling bored during that long lectures in school that some times you just sleep off.
This have happened to me so many times that even made me tagged some lecturer in school sleeping tablet 🤣Feeling bore doing the same chores or routine tasks. At your place of work you can get really bored that you would loose motivation to go to work. I can relate to this many a times when I was teaching as a class teacher,
Then when I was a class the only thing that made me excited are my pupils, the can stress the hell outta me.You can feel bored during a long travel or vocation.
What does being Idle or Idleness means?
Idleness means Not actively engaged or employed. You are idle when you are not doing anything productive, useful or you remain inactive, unoccupied or you are just at a place for a long time without any purpose.
The above definitely sums up what being idle or idleness means.
Example can be sitting in one place all day or maybe just sleeping around for a long time. It could be a Device or an equipment that is idle: e.g an idle remote.
It could be a person: an idle mind.
Although I can say Being idle and being bored are terms with closely related concepts but they have some distinct difference.
Here are the differences:
Being Idle emphasizes inactivity, while boredom means of emphasizes a lack of interest or engagement.
Also boredom can be or is also subjective and emotional while being Idle can be a neutral or objective state.
Here is what I usually do whenever I feel bored or I feel I am Idle
For Me I get rather into a creative mode with my Hobbies, my hobbies are Singing, Writing, watching videos, connecting with my friends.
So I love anything music, whenever I get bored,
I listen to my favourite songs and watch the music videos, I listen to some christian messages from my playlists, sometimes apostle Joshua selman's messages or Bishop David oyedepo's messages.
When I want to get more creative, I just download a new playlists entirely, this is what I do :
I go to billboard website download the top 10 music from more than 5 of my top genres, most of the time I may not be able to download all but just the excitement I get from these alone clears off any boredom or idleness from me.
Sometimes I watch trends and news on the X (formerly Twitter), trust me just looking at what is trending in the space alone can kill boredom lol.
Most importantly whenever I feel idle: I start reflecting on some things, some people call it meditation or Mindfulness.
I write down those areas of my life and then think deeply on them, I reflect over many things at that moments that really helps me improve on myself and do better immediately.
In conclusion: Being bored and staying idle is a time waster and Productivity killer, so get something doing already.
