travel

Get a job, volunteer, find a hobby, journal, read a book., take a walk, write to friends (the old fashioned way), people watch, etc.

wow, you learned to crotchet by youtube? hehe that has everything! I've done some crotcheting but forgot how.so I might check that out.

One thing I do for my boredom is to think about all the times I was bored and went out and got into trouble, and so now I don't mind so much being bored sometimes. lol and if I do get bored I try to get into something constructive, like painting, this site, go out for a walk or play a game, a good game not one that is venting my dark side, music, volunteer work. I'd say my job but my actual job gets boring sometimes.

Good point, xa- so enlightened! I thought the same way about drama- that it was proof that I was living my life. Not so anymore!

Boredom is a sign you have too much free time on your hands or it may be a low level of anxiety that you just can't handle your down time.

How about going to the gym? WIn-win. Note bored and better health/body plus it's a natural anti-depressant/anxiety boost!

Have you noticed a pattern with it?

I'm rarely bored. I found a long time ago how to amuse myself, whatever that is at any given time. Cook. Sing. Help. Write. Call. Clean. Love the cat. Draw things. Love myself. Feel the dirt under my feet and the light in the sky, the moon in the night. Butterflies bring messages of hope. I have my ways. You have to find your own ways. Good luck.
