What do you do to get rid of boredom in day to day life?

Hi dpk, I have so far never felt that life is a bore ! It does get tedious and difficult and may be even unbearable- there is so much variety . In our house there are things happening all the time , either someone is coming or going and i too travel quite a bit, and, there is the net which keeps me nicely occupied during my free time. All in all i am not bored or find the routine a drudgery as yet..

Hello deepak! My daily routine is wake up in the morning, eat breakfast, take a bath, face the computer and talk to my husband, rest and some other necessary things. I don't usually go out unless I have some important things to do. [i] I am waiting for my visa now so I could join my husband. I actually just follow with the flow. I admit I got bored sometimes and my only happiness is when my husband and I will talk online. [/i]

Well beating the boredom is in our mind and in how much are we satisfied with the available activities we try to kill the boredom.Good music,excellent books,a soulful conversation with your life mate,time spent in any form with you children,and the quality time with smart friends.People who crave for more start in search of the truth and the meaning of this life which may work or wreck one.

Really dpk, we would get bored and feel monotonous as well to do the daily routine repeatedly days after days. So we have some ways to make our daily a bit different. My husband and I would make a little change of the arrangement of furniture in our house. We try to get a new gadget so that we could have the fun by indulging in using it. If we have save enough money we would try to upgrade the facilities or the structure of the house. We always try to save some money as well to have vacation in different places so that we could get ourselves refreshed again. If we don’t have sufficient expenses we then enjoy having economical local vacation during low season. We at least would feel better if we could stay away from our house or work place for some time. Happy posting and take care.

While in the office if I get bored with work I log on to mylot or check my personal emails. Sometimes I just play some games online for a few minutes. I do not have sufficient time to finish my house work. So there is no time to get bored at home. But even then if I want to break away from the routine I just put on some music and sit in my room and read some books or magazines that I have stocked up and waiting to be read.

I like to read books or see movies to get rid of boredom.And sometime I may tell my husband that I feel so boring,and ask for him to have a tour together. If my husband was too busy to come along with me. I like to drive by myself to do a little sightseeing.

Yes, it's sad but true that most of us are stuck in a rut, so far as daily routine goes. I break the monotony by going out for a walk in the countryside, or calling my sister and inviting her out for lunch. It pays to get out of the village sometimes. I don't go out of the house to work, and you're right... we do tend to get into a monotonous routine. Brightest Blessings, my friend.

I pray, when I feel bored I pray. and I feel good knowing and realizing that there is a lot of thing that I can do in a day to day basis, not to mention the everyday routine you're superb in finishing on a daily basis. I'm glad I am a working mother and twenty four hours a day, is truly not enough to finish all my task as a mother, wife and employee in a day's time. How can I be bored? there is no time at all.. :)

Hi Deepak, Presently the word 'boredom' is not in my dictionary (lol). I agree your points; life is going on with same routine. But having a small kid at home my time is passing so fast even without my knowledge. May be in a later stage I may feel the same. Presently I am enjoying with him.

~ Respond to discussions like this one on mylot and Gather. I really enjoy enteracting with people, so I don't mind sharing what I know about life and in exchange I learn from others in the process. I don't know about you, but I rarely have those drudgery days anymore. When I'm bored, I find a good movie, eat my favorite snack(s), go online and just talk to people. More like type to people. I don't allow life to get me down and I definitely don't allow myself to get upset anymore. I enjoy life to the fullest and for as long as I will have breath in my body, I will continue to live this way. It is how I've been taught/trained in order to keep stress at bay and to live longer on this planet. So in essence I don't sweat the small stuff that can potentially creep in and distract us from the real goal of achieving what we have to accomplish in life. You see I know I'm here to be a blessing to someone, by the life I live. I know that by sharing my thoughts and words with others, a lot of times they will be encourgaged or motivated to change something about themselves that they didn't know existed before within them. So I keep myself ready to share my life experiences with them. You never know how much you impact other people, just by talking with them. Sometimes the best gift you can give someone is your time, just to listen to them.

When life becomes monotonous I look for a change.First of all I might just change the furniture set up in the house.I make new friends.I try out new hobbies- like if it was tarrot reading one year,you find my house filled with visitors curious about it;or some time ago I was crazy about the stock market and I sent my whole time there in the stock broking firm with a whole lot of new people who became close friends.Now the passion is for meditation so I have a whole new set of books and CD's and am surrounded by people who love satsang.So life is not just a routine for a person like me who tries to be jack of all.

It does seem at times that our lives are programmed, and we live like robots, going through the same routine day in and day out. When boredom sets in there are several things to add a little excitement. 1. call/ meet up with a friend 2. go for a walk in the park 3. go shopping 4. go to a movie If you don't feel like going outide then you could, 1. Prepare a nice meal for yourself 2. Have a nice dessert 3. Rent or download a movie 4. Play a game of some sort 5. do something to earn extra money These are just some suggestions, to add some change and excitement to the typical daily routine. Hope it helped some.

yeah, i always try to sizzle things up, just so they would be different than the usual. you know what i mean? like, instead of wearing my hair this way or that, i experiment with something else and wear my hair with something new or different. i also chat with different people a lot, just about anything and everything under the sun. isn't that the same thing we do here in mylot? Yeah, and my lot really takes boredom away, anyday.

I often log in the net and sing loudly to the music I like to release my boredom! sometimes I'd like to share the boredom with my friends included the friends from the net who are concerned me so much! They are so kind to help me out of the boredom and sorrows!

I wish to know what boredom is...so far I have no time to feel boredom. I have so much to do on my free time, but no time....in the other hand my job is very creative, it is hard to feel boredom...

[i]Hi dpk, I go out with friends sometimes or just enjoy surfing online! I am always looking forward for weekends where hubby and I can go out and take a break from regular routine! But, during weekend...I am always occupied with chores and working in mylot helps me forget that I am bored already! LOL![/i]

I usually went online checking out different things, or stay at mylot to keep myself busy. Or I would read a book. I think keeping one busy is really important for not getting bored. Sometimes I do spend the weekend watching some TV series to kill the time too, it's so occupying!

hi dpk, few months back I also started more or less the same discussion and was quite moved with a response of one of our fellow mylotters. Two days back, this woman's house was fully gutted in fire. She wrote that we should be thankful atleast we have a routine and added that she does not know from where she should start her day. This had a deep impact on my mind, after that whenever I get bored, I always try to take things in a positive manner.

They said " if your bored, then your boring!", . Well, i always like to treat myself after a hard days work, i go and watch movies, i go out and run, i join aerobic class, talk with people regarding bible and stuff, joining mylot. I write, i dance, i meditate, i read self help books about how to fight depression and all. There are life's ups and down, but im still here, just doing my purpose in this world, and that is to love and care people who need me. Happy mylotting!!

To get rid of boring time. I usually stay with my friends, chatting with them, listening to their words inside and trying to help or to get help from them. This is really good, i think. Of course, i would go walking streets alone or with my family or friends. what's more, hiking,fishing,surfing and doing some sports are also very good. The most important thing is that, u should consider urself as living a life ,but not killing the time. Otherwise, u would probably kill urself . haha!
