BOREDOM

"I'm bored" we've said it so often and we've heard it being said. why do we get bored? what is the solution to boredom?
Boredom is a state of mind. In that state, nothing appeals to us,nothing excites us,and nothing interests us. Boredom is not something that hits us from the outside,its nothing external. It is not like day and night or like the seasons that are inevitable. Boredom is in the mind,though it might be related to the presence or absence of people,events or material element's that are outside the person. Most often people get bored when they are weighed down by tasks that they don't like, or don't want to do. If that's the case one way of avoiding boredom is to learn to say "NO" whenever possible. For example - if you have to go shopping or attend a wedding that you know will bore you with family members or friends you have the choice to say 'no'. Sometimes you may have no choice and will have to tag along or will have to suffer the company of people whom you may not like. In such cases one has no choice but to grin and bear it, although you still have the option of engaging in some form of thinking,daydreaming or analysis which can go on inside your head, even as you are physically present at that place.
The most common reason for boredom is when one does not have anything worthwhile to do. Take up a hobby,call up old friends or relatives,start writing a journal,learn a new art like drawing,painting or music, remember all the things you wanted to do, but could not due to lack of time. Boredom is often the starting point for inspirational ideas and many discoveries and inventions have happened when people who are responsible for these had nothing to do and were in a state of extreme boredom.
Make your boredom a rejoicing, a time to think ,plan ,introspect and come out with brilliant workable ideas reconnect with others and yourself, instead of fretting and fuming and generally making yourself and those around you miserable with your continuous lamenting. Boredom or constantly feeling bored can mean two things  one - you don't know yourself , you don't know what you like, what you dislike,what makes you hipper and what irritates you. For if you really knew yourself , you would also know why your are bored and would also know what would get you out of boredom.
Like everything ,boredom too has its benefits,if you use the time effectively and creatively. Otherwise you can keep complaining that you are bored and waste the one and only life that  GOD has given you, in a bored ,mundane fashion.Feeling bored is also a choice , no one is stopping you from going ahead and doing all those things that could make your life interesting or exciting!!!!!
