Routinary habits and things to do is really a boring one. I suggest you try adding some spice to that routinary life. As much as possible always try to make an adventure with everything you do. Do something different. Instead of threading the same old path to your home, try another long path to go with. Instead of going straight home, do a detour in the nearest park and just observe people. Work really entails some routine with it but you know what? Those people who starts to look for something else to put on such routinary works are often the ones who climb up the ladder and stand out from work. Try making your routinary work more efficient and find ways to improve. Thinking of such ways will never bore you because it stimulates your mind into thinking heavily. Just my two cents in here!

You've got a good point there, AG. I always observe people wherever I go and I always wonder about their lives, what they have been up to and what makes them who they are today.
I like your idea about threading a different path ... not on the road but about our life. I think it would be challenging.

When I was your age life was every thing but boring!...now I Am 66 and life is every thing but boring...I can't think of any time in my life suffering from boredom life is full of things to do, there are people to meet,books to read, movies to see,riding a bike,a walk in the park or at your favorite beach the feeling of the sand seeping through your toes are amazing, a picturesque sun set,or an early dawn I could sit there on top of a mountain and see all that! how can life be boring?

You are so right! I still learn a lot from older people they have so much to share and life long experience...but I also learn a lot from young people the way they look at the future their dreams their hopes and is so good to be there and share those dreams with them after all they are the people who will shape the future in generations to come.

Hi alottodo
I like the way you are seeing things. There are many things to beat boredom in life.
Every morning I would spend my time having breakfast with elderly people. I just enjoy sitting and chatting with them as I find that I can learn many things from them.
You are right. Life can never be boring if you know how to make use of your time.

Sooner or later we all feel this way. Depending on how long it lasts it's not serious and usually just a phase we all experience. You can do various things to try to create interest in your life.
You can start a new hobby, plan a trip, read a fascinating book, exercise, look up ways to beat boredom on the net, come to myLot and chat, etc, etc. the possibilities are endless. Good luck to you

I also happened to me. there are times that i suddenly get bored. But we have no choice but to do the same routine everyday because we live to survive and in order to survive we have to make money by working or doing business. For me just to share my experience, I'm always bored because I'm the wife and mother but yet I am the breadwinner of the family. During my younger days, I just didn't mind this but now am bored. I want to stop working but I still have no choice we can't eat if I don't work. I envied my husband, he has an easy life.

I think you get boredom or maybe feel lonely because you don't worship to your God. Why don't you try to accustom yourself to God? It will help so much to solve your boredom.
Or maybe you can do your hobbies in spare time. You must have had hobby, right?

If life is boring then try to do some things to make it more exciting. For example you could travel to Central America and climb Mayan ruins. You could do a diving course in the Bay Islands possibly. You might not have enough money for that so if that is the case you could do some day trips to interesting places. You might like to listen to some music to give you some happiness. Maybe you could learn a new language. Disks could be played on the way to and from work. I like to read books, write stories, walk along the seashore and stroll in the countryside. Traveling is my top hobby. Good luck.

Try not resisting what is. Find the fun in every situation you encounter. Don't wish for it to be different. It's like being at a carnival but wanting to be at a concert.

Don't take things for granted. There are a lot of awesome things in a desert, but I guess not if your too worried about it and don't pay attention, you probably wouldn't notice.

Why not do something about it? Like start to plan for vacations on weekends. Look for places that you can hangout once in awhile after work. Go to places you've never been before. Eat exotic foods.
If you have close friends, call them and from time to time and plan some fun activities with them.
If you have a loved one...Well I think I dont have to tell you what to do next .
Do things you've never done before. Break the routine.

Hi greenpeas
I like your ideas very much.
I always make it a habit to eat out with my sisters and their family every Friday. It's like a get together for catching up on things since we don't stay together. I like doing that because it is always nice that I get to see them every week.

I have the same routine as yours, but it's not boring. I enjoy every minute of my life, my works , the people around me. When i go to the office and back home, i enjoy the scenery. At home, when i arrive i watch shows that interests me and my husband. On weekends i have other things to make me busy as well as enjoy.
Make the most of life, have interests in your surrounding and learn to appreciate what God has given you. Life is beautiful and is never boring, if you only know how to enjoy it to the fullest.

Don't be a pessimist. Socialize more to gain more friends. Have a smiling face so that you will look approachable and people will offer their friendship.

Hi siliguri
You are not alone. Many people feel that way. If we have lots of money, I'm sure life won't be boring for us as there are many things that we can do if we have the money to do it.
Maybe you can try to take up a challenge for yourself to make life more exciting for you. For example, you could save up for a trip. And then when the time comes for you to take that trip, I'm sure it would be fun.

Hi siliguri
It depends on how you make use of the money. Like for example, some can use that money to go for holidays with their loved ones and family members. I think that would be fun.
I know some would use it for other purposes like maybe getting themselves a nice big plasma tv and then they get bored of watching it after that.
I think with proper planning on how to use that money would be a great benefit for having a great time.

Hi siliguri :)
You know what? You're good because you have realized that your life is boring. Many people don't realize that and just go on with their life even though they find no improvements/changes in their lives. Changes can be sometimes negative but are generally positive if you just look at them closer. I know that kind of feeling where you are getting of sick of the same routine everyday. You can try to be involved in things you we're not involved before. Play some sports. Hang out more with your friends. Find things that you think can give you challenges and that can add spice in your ordinary life. :)

Nah, don't tell that you only have few friends. You can always make new friends.If there's a will, there's a way. Cheer up! :)

@chrislotz: Hmm..Maybe you should get out of your shell. Do some things that you are not usually doing (of course it should be good things haha!). Try some activities that will make you meet new persons and eventually they can be new friends. :)

You should try to vary your activity a bit. What I usually do is that I try to do something spontaneous. Sometimes, out of nowhere, I would just tell my wife that we go to someplace to relax or enjoy. Break out of your routine and you would be able to enjoy life.

I also feel some time life is very boring because my husband is not interested in life. They always busy in their business life so I feel my life is so boring.

I actually do get bored with life easily, but there is really nothing I can do about it most of the time. I have tried to find things to do that would bring a little more excitement to my life, but it is hard to find things to do because I work a lot of hours, so by the time I get home from work each day, I do not really feel like doing much of anything, and all I really want to do when I get time off is to rest and hang around the house.
However, one thing I hope to start doing again soon is hunting. The hunting season for deer and a few other animals starts here soon, and I live in a rural area now, so I can pretty much hunt any time I get the chance on the weekends. Maybe this will help me not to get so bored in my life.

Fortunately for me the internet aid me with so much information. Just reading the following story made me laugh. I do not feel bored every time I read something.
