Bored to Death?

I know you may not even be interested in reading this article; however, spending few minutes reading it may help you understand this feeling of boredom so that you could prevent it in the future. If you are bored to the extent that you can’t read it now, just book mark it and read it later.

Boredom is like all other emotions, it’s a signal sent to you by your subconscious mind in order to motivate you to take a certain action. People usually misinterpret the signal and they think that they should do something new to feel good, but few days later they discover that they are bored again.

What is Boredom?

Years ago at the accounting class, I can remember how bored I used to feel, I thought that accounting was the most boring subject ever. Few years later, when I lost a considerable amount of money in the stock market I never found myself more excited than when reading an accounting or an investment book!! It’s the same topic, the same person but the feelings were totally different, every thing was the same except that boredom vanished!!

So is accounting really boring or is it interesting? Actually its neither boring nor interesting but when I used to study it at the class my subconscious mind found that its not important for me and so it made me feel bored in order to motivate me to leave the class!! When I got involved into the stock market my subconscious mind discovered that accounting is important to me now because it can help me make some money and that’s why it prevented me from feeling bored again when studying it.

The Anatomy Of boredom

Boredom is nothing but a message from your subconscious mind telling you that this thing you are doing may not be important to you while interest is nothing more than a message telling you that this thing you are doing might be of importance to you one day.

How to Stop feeling Bored?

If you want to stop feeling bored then you should do anything but online games or watching the television. These things will just help you escape your feelings of boredom for few moments or few hours (and they rarely succeed) but later the feelings of boredom will invade your mind again. It’s your life style that should be changed and not anything else, do you know why do you feel bored often? Because most of your surrounding doesn’t interest you, and do you know why aren’t you interested in anything?
Because you have no major goals to go after!! The more goals you have the more tools you will need to accomplish them and the more you will find these tools around you and so you will feel less bored. Boredom comes from within and not from your srroundings and that's way the only effective way to deal with boredom is to change yourself. Changing your srroundings is only a temproray fix but sooner or later boredom will return back again and i am sure you have experienced this before.Doing something new or playing an online game is not the solution for boredom, only responding to the signal being sent to you can help you get rid of your boredom.

You can also use this the other way around, the more will people find that you have skills and tools that can help them, the less they will feel bored when being around you. People label others as boring when they can’t find anything that interests them in those people. So if someone considers you boring you can easily change this idea by proving to be interesting.
