Top 5 tips on how the lonely bachelor can kill boredom in tough times
Are you lonely and bored? How can you manage or totally eliminate boredom in your life, especially during these difficult periods in world history?
As a result of the coronavirus pandemic that had besieged the entire world, I had been locked up in my house. In the first few weeks, my life literally degenerated into a mother sleeping, eating, and watching TV. I started to get bored even though I’m even in quarantine with my whole family. In any case, my partner has been a wonderful support in cooking and housework while the kids do the dishes and other minor housework.
Now I start to put myself in the shoes of my friends and colleagues around the world who are single and lonely even in this circumstance. I know this because I was once single, lonely and bored.
Boredom causes tiredness and loss of vision. When you’re bored, you feel like someone thrown into the desert with no sense of direction. You feel like you’re lost. You become clueless about what to do next with your life. Happiness and joy begin to elude you. You start to lose interest in yourself and everything that concerns you. You start to withdraw from friends and supporters. It could be a period where you could fall into depression and start feeding suicidal thoughts.
Being single and alone is not a problem in and of itself, it is what you do with the situation. It’s always fun when the burden of boredom is lifted off your shoulders. You will have the energy, poise, and motivation to take action to move your life in the right direction. You will have a much clearer mission and vision of your life.
So what are the top 5 ways you can eliminate boredom and thrive in your life?
• To Do List: You should keep a schedule of your daily activities. Organize this list the night before the next day. Leave no room to fight any ‘fires’ by taking time to carefully plan your activities each day in advance. And when you have planned what to do and are doing the actions religiously, boredom will cease to exist in your life.
• Read another book: Reading another book in your area of interest is another way to say goodbye to boredom. When you’re reading a book on a topic you’re passionate about, your entire being is absorbed in it. You want to get the meat out of the book. You are trying to decipher the information and the message that the author conveys.
• Learn a new skill: What’s that one skill you’ve been wanting to learn all along? This is the great opportunity! Do you want to be a dancer? Do you want to be a seamstress? Do you want to learn to play the guitar? If you’re an entrepreneur, now is the time to hone your marketing skills for today’s realities. And you will find that curiosity about the next steps will replace your boredom.
• Connect: This is the time to build new relationships and probably reconnect with your good old friends. And good enough, we are no longer limited by time and space. Thanks to the many social media platforms where you can make new friends all over the world on a fly 247.
• Exercise: During this lockdown, many single and lonely people have gained a few extra pounds. It is fast becoming a twin problem of boredom and being overweight. Therefore, you should incorporate exercise into your regimen to address your health and boredom challenges.
Boredom can be eliminated. Therefore, you have a responsibility to stay mentally and physically engaged in order to leave the feeling of boredom behind you.
