Winter Break

Hello everyone. Winter break is going to start for me in a few days, which lasts about a month.  Any ideas as to what I can do while on break, to keep me from boredom or getting "into my head"? I know everyone is going to say the givens like "hang with friends", "go for a walk", "spend time with family", or "relax", but maybe there is something I would not have thought of doing.







Happy Holidays

The ideas you have already thought of are great, but I might also suggest getting involved in some volunteer work. Helping others is a really good way to keep from getting bored, and when you are helping someone else you don't have time to get into your own head.

Wishing you peace.

I am super lonely all the time. I play with my dogs, watch movies, go for drives. I am also going on a little by myself vacation. Its only for less than a week to see if I can get through it but its better than being alone in my house.

How about use your imagination and create your own list of things to do while on break and then go do thise things?

I doubt you will be bored while you put effort into the initial task. Boredom comes from sitting around waiting for others to resolve your concerns. When you actively work to resolve things for yourself, you will find little time to be bored.
