Boredom is not an easy thing to deal with. It is best to do some things or activities to fight all these and a lot of them takes away our boredom. It could be listening to music, surfing the internet, or any activity just to release that boredom. How do take away your boredom?

Yes, in our daily life, there always exist something that we feel bored. For me, if I feel bored, I will go outside with my friends, change a different circumtance will make me happy. But if I have no time to go outside, I will choose watch movies, listen to music or some other things.

That's great. A little chitchat with our friends take away our boredome and it feel good to be with them. No matter how busy we are, there are times that we become bored with anything.

If I get extremely bored I lay down and watch television. This assures me that I will fall asleep. Even a little power nap helps. I keep pretty busy all day with the internet, crafts and babysitting our new grandbaby when our daughter needs to run an errand or has an appointment. I also work part time away from home when the hours are available.

Being busy with the internet will definitely help you not feel bored plus the fact that you have a grandbaby to take care.

With two kids around, you will surely not get bored. The kids will definitely give you more smiles and laughter. Mylotting is definitely not boring.

I make sure that does not happen as I am home all day it can get gutty sometimes,so I come on here and it passes the time really quickly and I can make a bit of spare cash as well.Or I go round to a friends house and have a coffee or invite someone in.I watch the tv but sometimes that is boring and gutty,200 channels and I cannot find a thing to watch. Go for a walk if you are able.listen to music but rest assured you are not on your own ,this weather does not help,so cold and wet,it is so difficult to get to any jobs in garden.I hope this helps.

I do whatever I could do when I'm bored. For example, if I'm at an airport, or something, I would watch the planes get ready to take off. If I'm at home, I go on the computer (listen to music, surf the internet, play games, talk with friends by instant message, etc.) or watch television (though watching television gets me even more bored most of the time because there's usually nothing I want to watch. :)). Sometimes, if I have nothing to do after all of that, I just walk around to look at things. (Almost anything can catch my attention, usually things that catch my attention are either cute items or shiny items. :D) I get bored quite often, so I run out of ideas really quickly. :l

I have met boredom most of the time because I stay at home. Since I joined in this forum I have used my time reacting to people. I even get bored with tv so I prefer getting online. Getting busy with something you really realy like to do takes aways boredom. Waiting for the doctor makes me bored so I read all the magazines available in the office to pass the time away. I let my kids draw or go biking so they won't get bored staying at home all day.
